A rainy Saturday morning  -- I'm about to get some writing on Phat Fairy in before heading off for a writing group afternoon. I need to stop and think out some things about the plotline before I go too much further.

Birthday #45 coming up next weekend. HOLY COW HOW DID I GET HERE? I figure with any luck and some preventative maintenance that puts me at about halfway through (maternal grandmother just passed 97). As always with these sporadic moments of assessment, I resolve to take better care of myself, to walk every day, to mediate, to do the dishes daily, to keep up on e-mail and be better about telling my friends how much I appreciate and love them. It's always an uphill climb, for I am a bad, lazy creature at the bone.

I have been reading a lot of urban fantasy this year and have found what I think is my very favorite so far, Lilith Saintcrow's books.  Finished Working for the Devil last night, Night Shift a couple of days ago, and I've got three more stacked on the reading shelf. Thank you, [info]pauljessup , for mentioning them.

Wayne is torn this weekend: football, Fallout 3, or a judicious mixture of the two? I suspect it will be door #3.

P.S. I like this photo.

Hey, Cat.

Happy birthday in advance. The little LJ birthday alert thingy informs me that we share the whole birthday bit.

And judicious mixture sounds good. Also sounds like a cool band name waiting to happen.

I hope you'll have a great birthday!

Lazy is not a word I ever associate with you.

You may be bad, but hardly lazy. And yes, it's odd to see the numbers add up, and try to assess how many are left. We never know! But I know for myself, when I reached what I could guess was the halfway point, that I began to treasure each day instead of constantly reaching into the future. You, of course, have lots and lots of days to come. I hope each and every one of them is a joy.

Happy Almost-birthday! Quit worrying about aging, it's largely a state of mind anyhow.
