I’m slowly getting through all the stuff that accumulated over the last six weeks. The piles of paper are diminishing, all the immediate crises have been averted, I’ve made a small clean spot in the office and uncovered half the desk! (The other half has novel manuscript pages on it, and is exempt from regular cleaning.)
And I’ve just re-opened the store. I really hated to close it in the first place, but there was no way I could do all my work and run a business. Fortunately I can do that when necessary, and I hope that it isn’t necessary again. If you’re one of my customers, thanks for your patience. I updated the international shipping set-up. It doesn’t look like I broke anything, but if you have trouble do let me know.
It’s raining, finally. I don’t know if it will be enough to avert the drought we’re heading toward, but it will certainly help. I think I might need to go snuggle the cat and read a book.
I was going to make bread today, to go with Janiece’s lovely jam, but I didn’t get to it. Biscuits might be just the thing, though. (How good is her jam? Well, she switched to wide-mouth jars after I complained about her narrow ones because I couldn’t get my tongue in far enough to lick up the last drops. It’s good.)
