 Just realized that I had not posted since recovering from the Rona. I had bad cold symptoms and was sleepy for several days, then lingering tired the next week. All recovered now! Which is good because the universe is throwing more at me. The latest crisis is that my day job contract is getting cut short next month, instead of June, due to a giant project getting canceled. My contracting con is starting a search and we’ll see how that goes. I could do with a month to just work on Queen of Swords Press projects and drafting the next werewolf novel. A couple of months would be more problematic, particularly since I’ve decided to go to Glasgow Worldcon in August! I’m going to meet Heather Rose Jones in Reykjavik and hang out there for a couple of days, then travel with her to Glasgow. I didn’t get a big trip for my 60th and life has been, let’s face it, hard, so this is my gift to myself. Have already lined up a friend for house and cat sitting too. :-)

What else is going on?
  • Jana is more or less adjusting to memory care. She doesn’t seem to hate it and is taking up new crafts.
  • I’m down to one last financial thing that the county needs to pick up.
  • I got new tires on the car.
  • I kinda like the alone time, at least for the moment. I am seeing friends and even went to the caucuses with a neighbor last night and had a decent time. 
  • House clean out is inching along.
  • Queen of Swords Press is releasing a new novella by Michael Merriam on 3/7! Terror at Tierra de Cobre is a Weird West take on “The Magnificent 7” with an all woman cast and monsters and it’s up for preorder now - https://queenofswordspress.com/product/terror-at-tierra-de-cobre/!
  • Made progress on the new editions of Melissa Scott’s Astreiant Series! These books are so good!
  • Started poking at my next werewolf novel.
  • Saw “American Fiction” (very good) and “Argylle” (amusing, awesome ice skating/knife fighting scene).
  • Worked on taxes and giant To-Do List. ‘
  • Now off to dinner with Sig. Then more work when I get home.

Glad you're feeling better! And it's so awesome that you're going to Glasgow!
