Jealous of the Iceland trip!
My cold is now on day 10. Coughing is exhausting.
Illyria: Wesley's dead. I'm feeling grief for him. I can't seem to control it. I wish to do more violence. Spike: Well, wishes just happen to be horses today.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
For the last bunch of days, I've been waking up at 6 with anxiety in my body. Nothing in my head! I'm not worried about anything! But tell my stomach that. I'm over it.

Because books.
Body anxiety sucks. I realize I do it with my shoulders -- I'll be sitting and doing whatever and realize they're clenched.
Smart Buffista cooks -- can I substitute zucchini for green beans in a recipe where I'm roasting them in the oven with chicken drumsticks for 50 minutes? I have zucchini, but not green beans.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, body anxiety, that's a good term! At least my brain isn't as good at making something up to justify anxiety as it is with other emotions.
I'm gonna say yes, Amy. Just chop them into rounds or sticks or something. Or maybe just slice them in half. I'm thinking a whole zucchini would take longer to cook through.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I LOVED Iceland, sarameg! Have a great time.

Amy, you may end ip with more liquid at the end, but it should still taste good.

Oh, good point, sj. And yeah, I sliced them into rounds, -t. We'll see! It's in the oven now anyway.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Ugh, how is it only Monday? Or already Monday? I think the mid-week holiday is throwing things off.
Husband is at a job interview. No idea if he would actually want this job, so I would like him to finish up with it and tell me how it went.
At least there is tennis, because work is boring. Deeply boring.

I was getting stuff done today, but ltc's sitter just canceled for the afternoon.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
So far today one of my publishers has told me "We can't give you [asset their contract says they have to give us] because we don't have the resources" and another has told me "I completely forgot we were releasing [books which have been on the schedule for at least 6 months and which I've been asking about weekly since April]!"
I hereby proclaim that the rest of my day shall be spent finding pictures of cute baby animals and sharing them on Twitter.
