THe time I woke up (an hour after I fell asleep) to the howls of wind, lashing rain and thunder. Fun. Mom woke up 5 minutes later and apparently both of us kept waking up every hour all night. Yay. Nothing like sleep deprivation on my longest day.
WHICH didn't suck. We managed to deal with most of the crises without killing each other. Imagine that? I couldn't.
I felt pretty good so I cooked. Lamb ragu with mint.
It's official. I don't care what meat is ground up I can't deal with the texture. That said, the sauce was pretty amazing.
STILL cramming my head into the wall about how to end the steampunk novella. Only ELD and![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
wildrider have read it (I'm not sure i put the end up on the original fiction filter). Right now I have her breaking into the house to kill the little girl and Victor happening to be there. The editor didn't like it and said Victor's whole investigation was worthless as a result. But if I have him trailing her, then him being in that house in bed with his boyfriend makes NO sense. Sigh. NO CLUE what to do with this. And how to make it more 'steampunky' in capturing the villain. I suppose they could have something like the tesla on Warehouse 13. Seriously this is the most stressed out I've been from the editorial pov. I considered putting the end up on the locked Orig fic filter but not sure that would be helpful.
A few people have attempted to transcribe the music on the buttocks of a sinner in a Bosch painting and the results are very interesting. I think i like the choral arrangement best. Butt song from Hell

What I've just finished reading: - The Dead in Their Vaulted Arches by Alan Bradley (I have yet to review it). This is the latest in the Flavia de Luce series, an 11 year old chemist. This hared off in a weird way that really seems to set up the next leg of her journey but it's not a leg that really sounds interesting to me so I'm very torn.
What I'm reading now : Ladies of Madrigyn by Barbara Hambly. This meets the 'bottom of the TBR pile' bingo square. It's been on my shelf since 1984. I paid 2.95$ for this. I love Hambly. I follow her blog. This is not that good so far (I think the modern reader would find it misogynistic in many ways even though most of the characters ARE women).
What I'm reading next: I THINK I'll read Home is where the Heart is or something like that by someone from my publishing house but so far I'm not impressed. I just sort of what it done with. Unless something comes in from inter-library loan.
declutter day 209 item tossed -A box of junk Why kept -Probably shoved everything off the living room table into it when Mom was coming Why tossed -It’s been in this box, judging by the dates since 2011. That is just shameful. Things are recycled, tossed or properly stored including a missing bracelet that was in there.
