I have discovered the joy of Earl Grey with half&half and a touch of sugar. A refreshing coffee substitute.

I wrote a poem tonight. I won't share it because it is too raw and rough. I only wanted to say that I wrote a poem tonight after years without poetry and months of not writing and the words came.

Just another quick reminder to anyone kind enough to want to join in again tomorrow: the hashtag is now #PhantomsFriday with an 's'. Hopefully that tag will survive forever... maybe into the afterlife.

Anything ghostly - art, #folklore, poems, bits of fiction and non-fiction - all will be welcome!

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

For our 28th anniversary today we went out to breakfast then played Llama Land (my choice). I'm looking for Manny more years with this guy.

My book haul from the "Hot and Steamy in PNW" event yesterday. Ten signed novels and one writer's coloring book, and a bag to carry them all in. I have my summer reading list now!

Book one of my reading list: "More Than Pretty: Matchmaking Ghosts book 1" by Bonnie Phelps.

They look so much alike when they curl up like this. As they should since they are siblings. But it's fun to notice the similarities when they happen.

Have to replace the roof and cut the tree (insurance says so) and now a major clog in the bathroom. That's our three, right? Right?!

For Mother's Day the family played My Little Pony: Adventures in Equestria deck building game. I proved again how awful I am at deck builders but we had fun with much giggling.

Hi #WeeknightWriters
I'm C. Jane and I'm working through the final edits of the ninth book in my first series while trying to write the sixth book in my second series. It's a lot of character juggling and I love it.

I've been applying for jobs. Wish me luck, please. Here's my cat for tax.
