I haven't personally floated off out of Sydney Harbour yet, but I'm getting mighty tired of the rain.

(Floating off is unlikely seeing as we're 157m above sea-level - or thereabouts, anyway - and have no major rivers nearby But there's a reason they call it the Sydney Basin: Sydney topographic map. It also shows the topological chart of the state. When you look at where the lower-lying rivers are, then you understand what is happening.

Do you ever wonder if you walk around with an electronic 'scarlet letter' on you? Like, people will flock and comment on everyone else's post or conversation, but yours is just [[crickets]].

According to the long-range forecast, two more days of heavy rain (20-40mm).

Last night, I spotted a leech in the chicken coop. ARGH. I hate slugs, snails, leeches, and slimy worm-types. As a gardener I am reconciled to compost worms, so long as I don't have to touch them too often. Slugs and snails I will sort of kind of tolerate, only not really. Leeches, though, are UGH.

I have restarted 'Book 2' of The Nullifae. I was writing Book 1, but I feel like it's not anything that anyone would want to read. I mean, I feel that way about all my non-fanfic writing right now. But it just doesn't have the oomph that I'm looking for. So I went back to Book 2 - with Jenna already in Crossover and dealing with Fae and Fae-borns and magic - oh my!

I got 1000 words written surprisingly easily.

Have been thinking about the Sel's Summer Salon which didn't happen because of COVID. Would like to run it once a month on a Friday night - preferably the Friday night when I'm not due to go away for my PDC. Next chance is the 18th March. But, oof, the prospect of enforced socialising is A Lot right now, when most of the time all I want to do is go to bed around 8pm...

I am looking forward to Bridgerton: it's my cheerful and fluffy light in a future of increasing exhaustion and mould-damp-darkness right now. And I don't even have it all that bad; I'm just pretty darned tired right now.

I am 100% awful at keeping track of incoming mail. (Currently hunting down the credit card that the bank sent to my dad at this address a year ago. UGH).

However, a few cards have arrived in the last month: [personal profile] dine, I know I have one from you; also, [personal profile] james. THANK YOU!

Also I got Christmas (or seasonal) cards from [personal profile] jenab and [personal profile] ladyjax (and loved the "It's the most wonderful time of the year...allegedly") and...most likely other people. But I can't find those right now. It's all everywhere and I need to manage it. (I clutter really easily.)

Just want to have an afternoon nap. Except I already had one.
