I’m at the beach. My only internet connection is my phone. Jaimz is purring on my lap. Jim is cooking clams he dug himself. There is a fire in the fireplace. We’re going to eat dinner, watch a movie, and go to bed to be lulled to sleep by the rain and the incoming tide

This is a good thing because once I get home in a few days, my calendar is packed.

Tuesday begins the Pretty Kitty Online Auction to benefit my local little cat shelter, House of Dreams. I’m on the committee that makes the auction happen. It’s been a good year for donations. Come look! https://facebook.com/events/s/pretty-kitty-online-silent-auc/1502659530121146/

Friday I’m doing a shift for my writer’s group NIWA at Orycon. I’ve never attended before and have no idea what to expect except it will be my first time around people for a year and a half.

During my final hour at Orycon, I’ll be joining authors who are participating in this year’s Jolabokaflod PDX on Stream Yard.

November 17th, I’m launching Adventure Cat at Gifty Kitty. Another in person event that my introverted self slightly dreads. https://fb.me/e/1a9Dapnax

It’s going to be a busy time, getting all the things together that go with those events. I’m taking total advantage of today’s peace and quiet while it lasts.
