Pluto and Neptune Retrograde
Mercury DIRECT (tonight, we still have to get through the day)
You can read the latest on the garden over at Gratitude and Growth.
Mercury goes direct tonight, thank goodness. We still have to get through the challenges of the day. It will go retrograde again on the 24th of October, but at least we have a little breathing space. Every time I see the internet trying to rehabilitate Mercury retrograde, I roll my eyes. Some periods just suck, and Merc Ret is one of them. Staying as quiet as possible and doing an odd bit of thrift shopping is the best way I’ve found to get through it.
I am tired, however, of all the urgency influencers out there. Sitting here on earth looking up, things are always moving across the sky. We can’t react, or even respond, to everything. We can be aware of it, but sometimes, we just need to look up and watch it cycle through. Enjoy that the sky looks pretty and there’s a lot to see up there. Every season will be different not just from the other seasons, but for us as individuals. It’s great to have information, but when it’s delivered with this constant frenetic insistence (especially when the person delivering it is trying to sell you something), take it all with a grain of salt.
Taking a break from posting promotional material for my own work, and really looking at what’s out there has been informative. I’ve done a lot of blocking these past six weeks!
After the morning chores yesterday, I settled into work. I had a case of the “I don’t wannas” because what I wanted to do was to go back to bed. Too bad for me!
I got some admin done, and a decent chunk of work on BETTING MAN. Switched over to the ghostwriting, and felt like I was plodding along. I like the quality of what I’m doing, but I’m not doing it fast enough.
The Nolan Wells situation gets more and more heartbreaking. And more enraging, as MS officials just think they can keep covering it up. Holding back the man’s throat and lungs from the second autopsy is very suspicious. While tox screens might not yet be complete (they usually take at least two weeks, sometimes more), when there’s a second autopsy, they need all the bits. And now one of his “friends” is going on a right-wing podcast to justify himself. Trash, all the way around. And on top of it, cops in Madison, WI shot a Black man in the head, executing him on the street in broad daylight.
Hakeem Jeffries proved he’s colluding with the right when 6 Dems voted (the exact number needed) to approve the bill that tacked on integrating our military with Israel’s and the SAVE act. Jeffries is as corrupt as the rest of them. He and Schumer have to be removed.
And now they’re all going on vacation until the middle of September. Disgusting. And they’re still covering up what’s going on with Mitch McConnell. If he’s dead, they’re committing fraud. If they’re keeping him in a vegetative state on life support, it’s beyond grotesque. As much as I loathe McConnell, there is a sense of tragedy that no one cares enough about him as a human being to allow him a dignified death. Not his wife, not his children, not his colleagues.
I plodded along on the ghostwriting, not getting as far as I wanted. I’m okay, as far as the deadline goes, but I’d hoped to get it in a little early. No such luck, I fear. We will see how today and tomorrow go.
Trotted down to pick up my CSA box in the afternoon. It was a nice walk, not too hot and humid, and good to get me moving.
The box is glorious: two pints of cherry tomatoes, lettuce, onions, green pepper, summer squash, and carrots. I used a lot of it in a pasta primavera, adding garlic and the basil we’re growing. I kept sneaking bites of everything as I chopped it. So delicious. We are so lucky, and I am so grateful.
Sat on the porch after dinner reading and watching the world go by. I’m reading a novel by a writer well-known for nonfiction (and I’m a fan of the nonfiction), but this is their first novel. It needed a developmental edit and some work on structure. The structure is basically non-existent. There’s some lovely writing in it, but it doesn’t hold together.
Slept reasonably well until Charlotte started fussing a little after 3, and she was just impossible. I got up just before 5 and started the morning routine. Today is online meditation group (I guess we’re breaking in August?). I’ll do the usual Thursday errands after breakfast, hop on the #FreelanceFriends chat, and then get some writing done and rehearse the poems. If I can find what I want in the store, I’ll make pizza from scratch tonight. It’s cool enough.
What I get done today on the ghostwriting will help define tomorrow, if I can add something to my afternoon, or if I have to just keep my head down and work. Wish me luck!

Wed. July 22, 2026: A Comfortable, Rainy Day

Waxing Moon
Pluto, Mercury, Neptune Retrograde
Cloudy and humid
Here we are, in the middle of another week. I hope yours is going well.
Yesterday morning, I did the usual chores and a bunch of admin. The sky got darker and darker, and I had to turn on the lights by 9 AM. Shortly after, a big thunderstorm came through, so I paused my work for a bit. Even after the thunder passed, the rain kept bucketing down. I do love a good thunderstorm, though.
I revised the synopsis for the script commission pitch, and went over the pages themselves again. I’m feeling good about both. I’ll let them sit for a couple of days, and then do another polish pass before sending it out at the end of the week.
I did some research for an LOI I want to send out next week. I really like what I’ve learned about the company so far, and would very much like to work with them.
I wrote a little over a thousand words on BETTING MAN. I’m trying to get back into the flow, and that means writing something on it every day. Taking off days during the drafting has been counterproductive, and I need to course-correct. I’m already later than I hoped to be on this draft. But I wrote a fun argument scene, which I will hone today before moving on.
It was cool enough to have soup for lunch, and then I switched over to the ghostwriting.
It was slow going, with lots of stops to check information, but the quality of the work is decent. I need to ramp it up the next few days, though, instead of plodding along.
It rained heavily most of the day, and I didn’t make it to yoga. The cats slept most of the day, and I wished I could, too. I heated up some leftovers for dinner, and then read and played with the cats at night. I’ve been doing a good bit of thinking the last few days/weeks, and I have a better idea of changes I want to make over the next few months that will serve us well in the long run. I need to be realistic as to where the best choices are for my time, energy, and creativity. I also did some meal planning, since I pick up the CSA box today, and tomorrow is grocery day.
Charlotte fussed at me starting a little after 3 this morning. I didn’t think I’d gone back to sleep, but when I finally got up it was after 6, so I must have. Getting up after 6 is late around here!
I will do some work on BETTING MAN this morning, and then switch over to the ghostwriting for the rest of the day. This afternoon, I head to Savvy Hive to pick up this week’s CSA, and I’ll use some of the ingredients to cook dinner. I will also rehearse the poems.
Tomorrow is a pretty stacked day, and I doubt I’ll get much writing done, so I need to make use of today’s hours.
Have a good one!

Got another "translation job" offer today.
Except it wasn't a translation job at all.
It was training AI.
For pay that, where I live, wouldn't even reach minimum wage. But of course it was dressed up as "freelance contracting," because apparently exploitation sounds fancier if you invoice for it.
No.
I'm not helping build the machine that's already taking work away from translators while paying translators less than they deserve to teach it.
I'd genuinely rather earn nothing than spend my time feeding your slop machine.Hard pass.

Fri. July 17, 2026: Perpetual Laundry

Waxing Moon
Pluto, Mercury, Neptune Retrograde
Partly sunny, cooler, but humid
Wildfire haze
We’re almost at the weekend! Woo-hoo! I’m planning a quiet weekend of working on the script commission pitch, reading the scripts for the WAM literary committee meeting at the end of the month, and reading some background information for the project my friend wants me to work on with her.
Online meditation group was good. I waffled about attending, but I’m glad I did, and it made Charlotte happy, too.
After breakfast, I headed out for the usual Thursday rounds of grocery shopping, library, and a couple of other stops. It was very busy (summer season, and a little better after days of heat), but I got everything done.
Home, hauled it up the stairs, put it away. Willa wanted some playtime, so we played. She has no idea she is a senior cat. She thinks she’s still a kitten. Which is very cute.
I got about 4 pages done on the script commission pitch pages (I need 15 pages and an outline).
#FreelanceFriends chat was fun.
A friend sent us fans and cooling towels, and they arrived today. The fans are amazing. They are small clip-on fans that run on battery power (charged via USB cords, but long charges) and they are fantastic. I’ve never used the cooling towels before, and I’m looking forward to them. Some research books also arrived.
I turned the edits around for the anthology story. I really liked the editor’s suggestions. Sent it off by the middle of the afternoon.
I did the August marketing content calendar, putting a lot of emphasis on the new anthology. I start up again with the marketing on August 3.
I hope to get release dates on the other two anthologies soon. Feeding the new work into the content calendar while also promoting backlist works well, when I am consistent. But I do need to have something new at least once per quarter.
I did some work on the requested script pages I need to get out. I’m changing my mind about one of the submissions every five minutes. But I did some thinking overnight, and made decisions.
I didn’t get as much done on the ghostwriting as I hoped, and I didn’t get any work done on the radio series. But I still had a decent day.
Last night was the big beach party on Eagle Street. The city trucks in 500,000 pounds of sand (donated by a local company), it’s raked out over Eagle Street, and people show up with umbrellas, beach chairs, etc. There are food trucks and games for kids, and it’s a big old block party. I did not go. For some reason, I thought it was on Saturday (it’s usually on a Saturday), and by the time I saw the Instagram posts of them prepping the sand, I was settled in for the night. I hope everyone had a fantastic time.
The wildfire haze is thick enough that all of us who showed up at the laundromat at way-too-early-o’clock masked. My heart breaks for those directly affected. The haze is inconvenient, but a scratchy throat is not the same as losing everything. Air purifiers on today.
I was out the door early to the laundromat, and back a little after 7. We are making pancakes for breakfast, and after the morning chores, I will fold it and put it away. The non-dryer items are hanging up inside. Even if I had the outdoor line in place, I wouldn’t hang laundry out in the wildfire haze, which leaves a sticky residue on everything.
Have a great weekend, and we’ll catch up on the other side.

Wildfire haze
We’re almost at the weekend! Woo-hoo! I’m planning a quiet weekend of working on the script commission pitch, reading the scripts for the WAM literary committee meeting at the end of the month, and reading some background information for the project my friend wants me to work on with her.
Online meditation group was good. I waffled about attending, but I’m glad I did, and it made Charlotte happy, too.
After breakfast, I headed out for the usual Thursday rounds of grocery shopping, library, and a couple of other stops. It was very busy (summer season, and a little better after days of heat), but I got everything done.
Home, hauled it up the stairs, put it away. Willa wanted some playtime, so we played. She has no idea she is a senior cat. She thinks she’s still a kitten. Which is very cute.
I got about 4 pages done on the script commission pitch pages (I need 15 pages and an outline).
#FreelanceFriends chat was fun.
