So my strawberry jam didn’t set up, I got a new toy storage unit for Young Indiana and it didn’t have the screws with so I had to go back to town to get them (and then watched them open another identical unit to take the screws out of it, which helps me but compounds the problem), on the way home I stopped and got strawberries which then got crushed in the bottom of my backpack which is now coated with strawberry juice, it turns out the person I sent…

things make a post
Rogue hoodie. I will obviously be getting one of these. I’m tempted to also get the Captain Marvel one, but as someone on Twitter pointed out, what they really need to make is a reversible Rogue/Carol one. :) I gotta stop going into Chapters Bookstore. Every time I do, I come out with more research material. :) The last foray netted me A BRIEF HISTORY OF KHUBILAI KHAN for an upcoming project and THE FUTURE HISTORY OF THE ARCTIC for the climate change series I’m not writing.

From TIGANA (which is April’s book) onward I’m going to do a monthly post immediately after I finish reading the books, which will probably have no rhyme or reason to it as far as dates are…
things that fall down
1. Me. Admittedly, this was several days ago, but I was walking briskly home from the bus stop after a movie the other night and caught the toes of my right foot on an inch-high uplifted edge of sidewalk. The fall knocked me out of my shoe and hat, and I was saved from some generous scrapes by having decided it was cold enough to wear my leather gloves, which protected the heels of my hands. Thank goodness. Even so, my shoulder and arm were badly sore from the impact…
