I slept in a bit today, and ended up going for a later brunch with my daughter than we'd planned, to celebrate her birthday, mother's day, and getting her IB Diploma. We went to a place called Roots, where the waiter assured me he would check all ingredients carefully, and seemed knowledgeable and competent to do so. It was a very pleasant meal.

Then she wanted to hang for a while, but she had no idea where she wanted to go, so we went to Target, where I picked up some stuff for me and she looked at a lot of stuff for her, but put almost nothing in the cart. She's still thinking about what she wants for her dorm room--linens and towels and the like--and still thinking she might lose weight before having to buy college clothes. In the meantime, I have new, definitely secular (non-holey) underwear to wear, which isn't exactly exciting, but will be enjoyed nonetheless.

In writing news, we have gotten a few comments on the anthology, one with some interesting writing links, and instead of writing, I've been rereading a couple of books of the "can't put it down" variety with that technical advice in mind. The reading is going slow, and I'm not as sucked into the story as usual, so while I can't do a nice, sweet and succinct post about what I'm learning, I'm certain I am learning. Whether it's enough to let me level up again in the writing process, well, Muse Fusion is next weekend, so I'm hoping my creative processors, so to speak, have it sufficiently processed by then so you can see some results.

And this weekend is also Bastille Days...maybe I should go get a new phone sometime this week so I can take pictures...

I have work tomorrow, and I am planning NOT to be too tired come Friday, so I should go wash this sweat off and get to bed.

My picture today is my cool new art from
