So the plan to not work didn’t happen. I’ve edited two stories, both needing a decent amount of work for various reasons (one was a first draft, one was shoehorning an already excellent 10K document into 2K words; my head justifiably hurts).

Made bread. Should probably eat lunch, although it’s almost four o’clock and I haven’t even thought about what to feed myself, let alone what to do about dinner.

Received the FedEx box with half a dozen photo albums inside it that document my general life from birth through marriage. Very odd. I saw pictures of people I haven’t seen in years, and realised that I don’t even own a photo of my paternal grandfather who passed away over twenty years ago. (Well, I didn’t until this morning, that is.) I ‘m looking forward to sharing the early albums with the boy, the ones of me as a baby and up to around five. The ones of me from about age eleven through sixteen make me cringe, but meh; part and parcel of my past. Some good haircuts, some bad. Particularly bad first pair of glasses when I was in something like grade four. (It was the eighties; I need say no more.) Lots and lots of Christmas morning pictures from various years. Bad t-shirt/shorts/kneehigh socks combos. Adorable handmade party dresses for the under-ten parties. I was fascinated to see photos that I dimly remembered, but remembered slightly differently. It was also interesting to see how my grandmother had labelled the photos. She assigned my CEGEP grad to high school, for example, which amuses me because all the photos she took of my high school graduation were lost since she hadn’t taken the lens cap off the camera. I’ll have to slip a note under the plastic for Posterity’s sake.

Today I landed a local recording gig for a self-published meditation CD set. That will be done next week after I come back from our Easter jaunt. Speaking of the Easter jaunt, today I also arranged a coffee date with a somewhat well-known podcaster that is partially personal and partially work-related, to happen Saturday night. We need to work out an actual interview arrangement for sometime soon, too.

I really need to walk away from the computer now.
