(written 1.3.06, 11am) I did not quite manage to get over my last cold before I caught another one. Apparently all the nasty Irish germs are having a field day with my delicate Alaskan constitution, or something. Unlike the last cold, which only required aspirin, this one actually requires cold medicine, which means I’m a zombie. I can do one thing at a time. I’m actually quite efficient doing one thing at a time, because once I’m doing it I’m completely focused. The problem here is that I have begun…
revolutions 2006!
(written January 1) I don’t do resolutions. My resolve always fails. Instead I set myself some goals for the coming year, because goals are achievable and resolutions aren’t. Or something. :) 2006 goals: 1. write 400,000 words 2. walk 600 miles 3. read 104 books 4. lose 12 pounds 5. sell 3 books I think I usually have more, but that looks like the right number for this year.

a year in review
(written december 31 around 6pm) If I had a net connection tonight, I’d post and let you all know that 2006 has arrived safely and that the future is, if not in good hands, at least here. Unfortuately, I don’t have a net connection, which I’m finding actively annoying for the first time. I’ve been a bit impatient previously, and I had one real moment of jonesing for CoH, but overall it’s been a mior inconvienence and not something to mutter over. But today I’ve done my writing, done laundry,…
No net. Snif.
No net, but I’m in at Mom & Dad’s, so I’m doing lots of catch-up posting. (written December 31) My poor nephew Seirid really loves oranges, and has six teeth. He recognizes what an orange is, so he’s taken to grabbing an orange and sinking his six teeth into it–into the skin, mind you–and then he’s horribly, horribly disappointed when it tastes awful. The worst, most frustrating part for the poor little guy is that in order for it to taste good, someone else has to feed it to him.…
the good news…
The good news: we’re not dead! The bad news: no net yet. Wah. There will be many, many catch-up posts when we have net at home. Which is supposed to be today. But it’s almost 5. We’re not confident. Regardless, Happy New Year to EVERYBODY!
