elisemThere is only one durian custard cake left. Hmpf. Should have gotten more. Might need to do something about that.
I'm late posting this because I took a little time for reading, and fell into the story and forgot about time. Since it's beta reading, that's a very good sign that the writer's doing things that work. This is a story by Celia Lake. Have any of you read any of her things? I love them very much.
The first thing I did today was unsnarled a minor bureaucratic situation, which involved talking to people by phone twice, with a brief break in between in order to set up an account with FedEx, which I was told to do by the situation-unsnarlers. These things may sound like small things, but for a person with ADHD, fibromyalgia brainfog, anxiety, and also PTSD, stuff like this can loom over one enough to totally freeze a person. So getting through that fairly easily, first thing, is a huge wiktory.
Also I got a few new things photographed and into the Etsy shop, and other things have been marked down. (Still so much slower getting things into the shop that I hoped, but something is better than nothing.)
Now if my silly body would let up with the mildly ominous pain, I could go merrily on with the regular pain. the stuff I am used to. Oy, bodies.
Today's perfume is Nocturne Alchemy's Ra's Amber Sandalwood, which is good in a fairly straightforward "does what it says on the tin" way.
Have you fallen into a story lately and lost track of outside things? Are there authors whose work you are tremendously fond of these days?

I am working on getting my brain together so I can do the necessary Saturday things (wrangle my trash, go for a walk, do some planning) and then there is editing to be done.
