Drunken Owls and Other Delights

Oh hi there! I'm actually on time for once. No major weekend plans this time out, we just did a four-plus mile walk up Cabrillo to Arguello and back on Saturday, and today was a Lazy Day with laundrifying and a short walk up to CVS for a bit of stocking up on things. 

It being November, big props to anyone doing NaNoWriMo this year! What with 2020 being the weirdass year that it's been, I'm sure some will skip it while others may use it as an outlet. Cheers to those brave enough to participate!  I of course have given up on even attempting it, even this year considering my lack of employment, as I've already proven to myself that I just don't have the mindset for it.

What I'd like to do this month, however, is maybe look into some of the free online courses that some schools have been making available. One of my online friends pointed me towards this particular Rolling Stone article that talks about free courses from music schools, so that should keep me occupied for a bit. Not sure if it'll get me anywhere, but it's music-related, so at least it'll keep my interest!

Meanwhile, I'm happy to say that I managed to get an appointment later this month to drop off books at the Friends of SF Public Library warehouse down in the Mission (who'd've thunk that so many San Franciscans want to purge their book shelves after months in lockdown?), and I've just heard that the Goodwill I like using down in the Marina is FINALLY accepting donations again! Which means that sometime this week I'll go over during an odd hour and get rid of all this crap I've been staring at for the last six months. Yay clean floors again!

As for the writing...I'm kind of banging up against a wall with Theadia, but I'm making up for that by working on a few secondary projects in the interim just to keep active. It's frustrating because this is one of those "great idea in search of a stronger plot" ideas I've come up with, so I'm trying to look at it from different angles. This is how I was able to work past problems with the last three novels and hasn't failed me yet, so we'll see where it goes.

Anything else...? Not that I can think of. Just keeping busy and moving forward the best I can.
