As I think I mentioned, I really couldn't get motivated last week, so I'm working on catching up now.
Working my way through Vik's iCloud, that was the hardest part of the estate, on the good side, Apple is very, very serious about your security, on the bad part, they really don't offer easy instructions on how to deal with a deceased person's account. That and once you get the court order, the only way you can gain access to the account, legal has to review the court order, then there are people that have to work on setting up the account access, however once they did that, they failed to give me instructions on how to access it, just letting me know that it was mine now and giving me a verification link. Oh, and that's just to the account, they don't provide links or information on how to access the individual services. There also doesn't seem to be a way to download the entire cloud (that really wouldn't work well), or whole folders, you just have to work with each file, which since there's around 5G of files, will take a while.
I emailed the cremation company I used about prepaying for my own services as well as the balance I have over there. Prolly October I'll find a lawyer to prepare a will, the delay there, is I want to talk to my eldest cousin about being plan B on my will, as there's only a 9 month age difference between me and my sister, so if'n everything goes right, I'll simply talk to them while I'm down in Huntsville for my Grandmother's birthday (105, I swear that woman will outlive us all, she'll prolly be here to witness the heat death of the universe). Will need to find a lawyer for the will, recommendations in the STL area welcome.
Need to contact the heating company as an inspection for the system they put in was never scheduled, that should be easy enough.
Caught up with mom and sister, though I still need to RSVP for the party.
Yesterday I took care of grocery shopping and finances, the former in St Chas as I hopped over there for breakfast at Waffle House. I'd grabbed take out there earlier in the week and forgot how good it is, so that might become a regular thing, dunno yet. Also replaced the blade on the mower, fueled up the skid steer ($40 for a 5 gallon can and 5 gallons of gas, ouch). Dug up some of the pavers, trimmed the front lawn (couldn't do that last week as I'd run out of string, fixed that Monday, but didn't get to doing it).
Today was laundry as well as the stuff I've mentioned that I've done or will do shortly. Still gotta knock out a little cooking, I need a batch of rice, and gotta set up a cold brew.
Sorting through a bit of mail right now, and will take a bit of a break before returning to the iCloud.

Also in October might be a yard sale/estate sale, one big three day blow out sale, although I'll be selling larger items on Marketplace and Craigslist before then. Here too if'n anyone wants to see what I have, three Ikea bookcases, an HON desk, some drills just to start. Oh, if'n you're in the STL area with a tiny library, we'll happily supply books for it, just give us a shout, free delivery in some areas even.

Waxing Moon

Pluto, Neptune, Saturn, Chiron Retrograde

Cloudy, foggy, muggy

You can read the latest on the garden over on Gratitude & Growth.

I kept feeling like I was behind yesterday, when it was barely past 9 AM. I was FINE. I followed up on emails, I got the household chores done, I got the garbage out.

I spent most of the morning working on the collage. I cut the fabric, trimmed it with pinking shears, wrapped it to the canvas and fastened it with novelty pushpins. I then printed the chosen photographs in different sizes and started playing with them. There was photo editing and re-sizing involved several times, but I think I have what I want. I need washi tape to fasten the photos to the fabric/canvas – I think that will work better than glue. Of course, I have to FIND the right washi tape today, but that’s today. I photographed the arrangement, just in case something shifts before it’s fastened down.

The photo for this day’s post is the fabric on the canvas, before I put the photos on it. The colors are similar to those used in the park where the photos were taken.

I dealt with a bunch of admin. I did some work on the play, but I’m behind where I’d like to be on it. I mean, I’d like the draft to be done, but we are not there yet. I submitted a different play to a company with whom I’d like to work next season. Did a little work on the Nina Bell series. Got out an LOI.

After all of that, I switched over to the ghostwriting. It was slow, due to research needs, but the work itself was solid. I am behind where I hoped to be, though. I won’t be able to make up much ground in today’s session, so I’ll have to do so tomorrow. I’m still on track to make the deadline, but I’d hoped to get it in a few days ahead.

I received two book review assignments from that client, so I have three to turn around in the coming week. I haven’t had much work from them these past months, so it’s welcome. I’d like to be able to invoice the batch by the middle of next week.

I cooked dinner, did the dishes, and got dressed for the evening. I drove up to Faith Church in Pownal, VT. My friend Molly gave a talk on Grace Greylock Niles, sponsored by the Pownal Historical Society. Grace was a local botanist, teacher, nurse, artist, and poet who lived in the area. As an independent woman fighting for her land against richer men with power in the community (such as a local judge and a doctor), she had a rough slog, and wound up living her last years in a mental health facility in Brattleboro. That’s an oversimplification of her fascinating story, but Molly’s essay will be in a literary magazine later this fall, and sometime next year, published as a stand-alone. Molly’s research process is always fascinating, and the way she humanizes people nearly lost to history is wonderful.

My friend Gloria from the gallery was there, as were several A4A cohort colleagues, along with people interested in local history and curious. It was a lovely evening.

It was still light enough for me to have a fairly stress-free drive back, although downtown was closed off for (yet another) festival. It’s great to see people out and about having fun.

My parking space was free, so I wiggled back into it, and headed upstairs for a cup of tea and some time with the cats before bedtime.

Day 3 of Legs Up the Wall pose. I slept better, but I still woke up at 3! Well, Charlotte woke me up at three, hurling a hairball. The cats are already shedding their summer fur and growing in the winter fur, so thank goodness we have a working vacuum again.

Morning routine was fine. I figured out some stuff in the free-write. I note in the margin to which project each day’s notes are relevant, which helps me find things. I do try to type up notes when appropriate every few weeks, and then I mark them in red. “T” means I typed it and it’s in the project file. A red checkmark means I used it in a piece (and sometimes didn’t need to type it for a project file). It makes the notebooks useable research repositories.

Today, I have an early meeting up at the Clarksburg Library about the upcoming author event, then it’s time to do the week’s grocery shopping and other errands (like finding washi tape). Tonight, I have a library trustee meeting, and then I’ll probably stop by the “social” the library is hosting, which will still be going on outside.

In between there, I will work on the collage, the play, and the ghostwriting. Tomorrow is a more focused day at the desk, if all things go to plan, without meetings and other interruptions.

We are Running Out of Weekends

Today is August 11th. We only have a few more weekends before Summer comes to an end. We need to come up with fun, summery things to do with those few remaining weekends. I brought this up to my wife and step daughter yesterday and this weekend is probably the last one we have free with my step daughter. Her weekends are booked pretty solid for the rest of the month and then next month she moves to California for school.

What should we do with our last weekend with all three of us? 

I haven’t a clue, but I bet we’ll think of something.

Waning Moon

Pluto, Neptune, Saturn, Chiron Retrograde

Cloudy and oppressively humid

We’re almost at the weekend, and I hope you have a very good one.

I did a bunch of admin yesterday morning, including paying bills, and writing a follow-up note to the doctor about my mom’s surgery to clarify a few things.

I picked up a prescription for my mom, in preparation for her surgery (even though it’s not for a month), and did the big early-month stock-up grocery shopping, and a couple of other errands. Of course, I completely forgot to go by the post office, so I will have to do that today. It was really humid, and I couldn’t think straight.

Home, hauled everything up the stairs, put it away. Tried to get some work done. #FreelanceFriends chat was fun.

For the ghostwriting, I threw out most of what I had and started over. I stayed up as long as I needed to, in order to get it done. I have to do a final polish this morning (because it has to go out today), and make sure I dealt with all the notes, but, fingers crossed, they will accept this one, so I can invoice. I start the next assignment either later today or on Monday.

I could not face cooking, so I dug out some chili from the freezer and that was supper. It was good. This chili recipe freezes well.

It was hot and sticky last night. Charlotte woke me up early, and I got up, so I could do most of the morning routine before going to the laundromat.

Did two loads at the laundromat and filled up the gas tank on my way home. Chop wood, carry water, all those mundane tasks that keep things running. Such a glamorous life, being a writer!

This morning, as I mentioned above, I’m doing a final proof on the ghostwriting and getting it out the door. Then I will work on the play, and maybe the article. I also have to work on the program for the reading in October and get out a book review.

We were supposed to run some errands in Williamstown and Bennington, but it’s supposed to be stormy today, so I will put it off. I will, however, fold and put away laundry. This evening, unless it’s wildly stormy, I will trundle down to Future Labs Gallery for the month’s opening. I might go over to Mosaic Center, too, for their opening. We will see how my energy level and the weather holds up.

I have to set up a meeting with the library per the author event in September, and sign off that my name is correct on the flyer.

Tomorrow, I’m going to a showcase in Williamstown for WAM. Sunday we might do the errands we were supposed to do today. We’ll see how the weather holds up. Next week is busy – good busy, but still busy, so it would be good to have some downtime over the weekend.

And to finally put the replacement vacuum into use! I also want to do some planning sketches for the art pieces. I’m not sure I can do the one in time for next week’s deadline, but I like the idea, so I might work on it for the December or January show instead. I will try to work on it this weekend, but not kick myself if I can’t get it done. I have to look through my fabric stash and see what I can use for these various projects, and what I still need to source. Doing that before I go to the fabric shops in Williamstown and Bennington is probably a good idea.

I hope you have a great weekend, and we’ll catch up next week.

I've published a blog post on the practitioner day at #LdnOpenFest26 this Spring https://blog.lboro.ac.uk/rdm/2026/08/practitioner-reflections-on-openness-in-2026-reflections-from-the-london-open-science-scholarship-festival/. The day covered a range of activities enabling openness from research data to rights retention to funder policy. The day included a workshop from me on #PlanS - check out the blog for a link to my slides if you're curious #openscience #openresearch #openaccess
