Still Riding the Wave

Not much to report on my end, hence the longer than usual break between posts. Things have settled into a nice rhythm at the day job, especially where my commute's concerned, which is a godsend. What helped was the fact that my preferred bus line changed their schedule so that the bus I need to take back home now arrives at the train station at a more reasonable time. Anyway, that's all boring stuff on the whole, but it's made a world of difference to me, and I'm no longer looking for work closer to home. 

I've also been dipping into a side project that may or may not see the light of day, publishing-wise. I'm just doing it because I want to keep things a little interesting from my end, and tackling something that's way out of my comfort zone is (I hope) going to help keep the old writing joints properly greased. Not that they desperately need it right now since I've got enough book ideas for the next two years. 

This is more about me stretching myself, so to speak, and getting something good from the mental and creative exercise. 

Now if I do decide to publish it down the line, I'll mention it here. Another thing is that I'll also be using a different pseudonym if things went down that route. We shall see.

Positivity is all around me right now -- energetic, cautious, and determined. I'm talking about the upcoming elections here in the US, and I'm helping one of my sisters out in sending postcards to swing states. I've never done that before, and now's as good a time as any, and we've been texting each other excitedly over this. She just sent me my packet, having ordered 600 postcards, which she divided between the two of us. She even sent me the stamps, so bless her. I'll have to take her out to lunch sometime. 

After years of not visiting for a variety of reasons, I'm back to checking out some of my favorite political sites like Joe My God (I forgot I still have a Disqus account, which I had to dust off, so I could participate in threads though I'm really back to just liking comments and lurking).  Being a childless cat lady (child-free in some circles since I chose not to have kids because I never felt the maternal need), I'm fully buoyed by what's happening around me and elsewhere in the world. So I'm riding the wave of hope but am still keeping my eyes wide open so I can fight tooth and nail for this country's soul. 

That's that for now. Hope to come back later this weekend for more meandering blather.
