Finally got my dream reading chair (a wingback La-Z-Boy)… and Doe has informed me that a single-occupant chair is a design flaw. Apparently all seating must accommodate one human and one very insistent dog.

Completed the virtual Maine Half Marathon today! So lucky to be able to live somewhere that I can walk out my door and run in the Maine forest.
And now I shall be lazy for the rest of the day, reading and editing the latest WIP.

A nice little garden haul today. I’m pretty sure I somehow managed to crossbreed all my peppers (green, lunch box, jalapeño, and habanero) into on weird pepper though. Guess we’ll find out when I taste it.

I just signed up for this! It’s great way to support PBS and you get access to their great content!
With the latest Congressional funding clawbacks, Public Media, NPR, PBS will lose up to 15% of their operating budgets.
For $5/month, you can get PBS Passport & access to pbs.org libraries, & help them heal the wounds.

Trying to write while pet-sitting. It’s going well.

We’re only two months in, & they’re cancelling research into pediatric brain cancer. They’re deporting US kids with brain cancer. They’re putting millions at risk of malaria, TB, & polio.
I for one will never forgive or forget those who said ‘it won’t be that bad’.

Chapter one in the bag for book 5 of the Artemis Necklace series. Woo!
Sometimes I get distracted by shiny new story ideas, then I come back to this series and remember how much I love these characters. Snarky fire-breathing hellhound with an even snarkier FMC? Always fun.

I'm appalled by the USDA's decision to pause funding to the University of Maine System.
This will hurt our farmers, halt critical research, and impact students throughout Maine.
Once again, our state is being targeted for retribution—all because our officials are standing up for the rule of law.
