lydamorehouseI hear we're missing HOT weather in Minneapolis/St. Paul. This is good. Grandma has air-conditioning, we don't. The kitties are _probably_ smart enough to hide in the basement.
Tomorrow, we begin the long drive home. I'm actually kind of looking forward to it. I'm gathering up a few more podcasts to listen to. If nothing else, I'll have them for company once I'm back at home and doing the dishes and whatnot.
Now if only I could get motivated about my own witing. It's kind of amusing, as I've come to the Blackbird Coffee shop in downtown ValPo in order to use their much faster WiFi. At the table in front of me are two writers critiquing each other very earnestly. It's like a walking advertising for the life that I love. But I've been feeling really undermotivated about my own work. I have three things I NEED to be doing too. I just received my editoial letter for Ana #3 (which is going to require some work), there's the book that's due in August, AND I still have an idea percolating for a short story.
But I just got a call from Shawn. I need to head back to grandma's with some squirt guns and popsicles.
