This is embarrassing.

I've had this microwave for over 20 years--I got it for my college dorm room!--and I JUST NOW realized that I'd never removed the plastic over the keypad.

I've WASHED the keys dozens up on dozens of times!!

The hole in the plastic makes sense now.

Note for the perplexed: in Charlie-speak, a "Sad Boner Professor" novel anatomizes a professor (usually of English) who is Sad because he has an Inappropriate Boner.

Its origins are lost in time, but writing one is today a compulsory pre-graduation rite for MFA students in American universities.

I've been part of a grand jury for the last month. That is now FINISHED!

Time for #Christmas and vacation from the day job until after New Year's!!!

Procrastination is a fear behavior. If you're procrastinating your writing, it's not because you're lazy. It's because you're afraid of whatever you're writing next. You fix writing procrastination not by writing, but by having an honest talk w/ yourself about why you're afraid. #amwriting #booksky

My birthday dinner turned out great! Usually 6 people, tonight had 15! :o

They were all aunts & uncle & cousins, including one cousin's young kids. All from both sides of the family. My parents ofc, & sister @karabetzercones.bsky.social .

And here's the newest nutcrackers in my collection!

Look at these beautiful cheesy buttermilk biscuits! They are as delicious as they look.

I don't usually like cheese-filled or cheese covered breads, but these are rather good if I do say so myself.

I've written all weekend. 1,015 words today. 2,219 total over the past few days, all on the one project. Plus a few hundred more on another. Best of all, I LIKE what I'm putting on the page!

I’ve fiddled with several projects the last few months. Mostly the same ones, a novel and several short stories but I’m working on all at once. Progress is slow, but it’s still progress. And that matters.

That said, 548 words on a short story today.

Baked pasta for dinner tonight. I used Sharmis Passion's recipe. It came out well! Except, one little tip: don't overcook the pasta!

I never do that. Now I have.

In related news, I got home, fed the cats, and 5 minutes later Fable decided it was time for dessert. And what better than my newly purchased bag of KitKats!

Well, now that the bags open, I guess I need to take break. A KitKat break that is!

I picked up more Halloween candy I do NOT need.

Does anyone know if the combo bags of KitKats and Mini Reese's Peanut Butter Cups are being sold this year?? Those are the best 2 candy combo bags. My grocery store isn't selling them! They have them individually and lots of others, but not those.

I'm back from vacation! Well, got back Sunday but cats haven't given me 5 minutes to myself til now. Here's some pics! I went to the Redwoods to see massive trees and old mansions, then Lake Tahoe, and even time traveled to the Old West to visit Virginia City. And a light show in there too.
