I got up this morning thinking that there are days that I'm pleased to be unemployed, because it means I can stay in when the weather is bad.

So I sent off a letter to someone who posted on Craigslist about a possible editing job; sent a reminder about a small outstanding invoice; and made apple cakelings. The invoice reminder was answered within minutes, with an apology and a promise that the check will be written today, and the cakelings are fine and tasty.

After lunch--Artemis and I had sardines, and I had raw carrots--I decided "only -8 [C], I can handle this", put on my flannel-lined jeans and my new snow boots, and went out. The snow was light and fluffy, the wind minimal, and I handled it well enough to go out to the grocery store (about 1/3 mile each way), instead of just a quick stroll to get sunlight. So we have exciting things like butter and yogurt.

No actual fiction so far today, but I spent a bit of time reading about Jupiter, which may be useful background.

-8 degrees? Omigod, I am so glad we have the gulf stream here in the UK!
BTW, I found you thru' a friend and decided to friend you myself. The strange thing is that your profile goes right off the screen when I click to view. No idea why- perhaps you can explain whare I'm going wrong...
Anyway, nice to meet you. I assume Artemis is a cat, not an aunt of yours, but I could be mistaken...

sorry, 'browser' is a term I hear, but do not understand, never mind know what type mine is. I have Windows XP, and that is the limit of my knowledge. However, it has been interesting to float back and forth over your userinfo.
