people are still trickling in from their holidays, I guess. Kind of a lonely feeling when your festivities are the same few people...kind of doing the same stuff. But it was okay.
Skipping the last zoom of the year to finish a writing sample for a workshop I picked as a gift that starts 1/20. I don't have to be done till 1/11, but I get tired of all the Zooms anyway...a few times a month is more than enough.
Reading a fascinating book about LA in the 1960s...it's something of a tome and I'm on page 34, but it seems promising so far!(Wishing it wasn't quite so physically huge so I could take it around, but if that's my biggest gripe then that is truly a great book, right? But I'm not going to overfill the office again.

(a tiny offering for my goals against self-denial and *for* trying new things.)Even though I'm hoping my next attempts are more exciting, every little bit helps.
Overall, I've undervalued the humble pear.
