After a bit of time off, I'm back to editing, writing, and critiquing though certain problems around the house may limit the amount of time I'm able to get anything meaningful accomplished. However, my hope is have the next episode of Perfect published shortly: I'm just unable to offer a promise of the actual timing. I wish more of my working environment was under my control.
Additionally, I'm working on a new website and would like to have it ready by the end of the month. I will be moving Perfect there. Watch for further details and the unveiling of my nom de plume. No worries, I'll still answer to "Thomas."
Last, anyone know where I can find a waistcoat (vest) with lapels for a reasonable price?

Little About My Computers
Have been spending a lot of time and energy getting computers to do what I need them to do -- no matter how easy people tell me it's going to be, I find it to be a bit of a struggle. Working on a new website and home for this blog as well as Perfect and I hope they will be easier to use for both of us.
Hope you're enjoying what's left of summer (or winter if on the other side of the Equator).

Fuzzy at Free Friends PDX
My writing has suffered a lot recently thanks to all my volunteering. Simply put, after my hours at the library and Senior Center, I don't have much left inside. The apartment is a disaster and I'm plum worn out.
Unfortunately, volunteers are difficult to find for Senior Center Bingo, so the really don't want to lose me. And, truth be told, it's good to feel like the work I'm doing makes a difference. All I have to do is not show up one Wednesday (as I now do on the fourth Wednesday of the month) and I'm greeted with lots of warm welcomes.
Sure, the library staff appreciate the help as well, but they have lots of permanent staff and many volunteers. But for the first hour on Tuesday's they have difficulty finding a place for me. It's okay when I'm doing well; I help with pulls or shelving DVDs. But when I'm not doing well, like last Tuesday, there's nothing for it.
I've already cut my time on Fridays by a third. Will have to talk with the supervisor about Tuesdays and make a decision.
Back on Key
I've got plenty that I want to work on both in finishing my Japanese Fairy Story and researching the vampire story (with my own special twist on the now saturated genre). So it's not an issue of inspiration: it's a matter of fatigue.
Plus I want to be able to get out and enjoy life now and then a bit. Even if only after having a tooth worked on...

Just sipping on some Moroccan mint ice tea at Three Friends in Portland.
