These days we're having the kind of weather that just makes me want to leap onto my air conditioner and cuddle it until the shivering starts.

Unfortunately, Chris doesn't have an air conditioner, so right now this little fan is my best friend.

Writing a book... is turning out to be a somewhat more frustrating process than I had expected.  More accurately, I had assumed the actual writing was going to be arduous, but in fact that part was easy, fun and relatively quick.  These days I'm mostly wrangling editors.  It's taking a long time with no visible progress.  Add that to the relative lack of control I have over the project right now, and it's not a whole lot of fun.  Then, once they do their work, I'll have to go through and re-edit to add in their contributions.  That's about a thousand MS Word pages of editing and I HATE EDITING.

Tomorrow I have a follow-up appointment with the diabetes clinic to hear about my test results.  I'm pretty nervous about that too.  I had never been afraid of hospitals before about... oh, five years ago?      But the older I get, the more likely it is that there might actually be something to be afraid of... so now I clench up a bit every time I walk in and almost speed walk out.

This babbling about myself was good for introductory practice, but it's not really all that challenging. I need to start writing about actual topics here.  Not tonight, but... soon.
