Busy day

Work is no fun in the rain. you office dweller get a bit sprinkled as you dash to the car. I unloaded a truck for an hour and a half (that includes hooking the trailer and backing in)

A lovely card from

Sent NIKOLAI out. I'm thinking there's still something I'm missing. No idea what.

My mail brought a couple of goodies:
a contract for "Racing the past."

A contract for "Emeralds" which will be called "Color of money, Color of Magic," and is a dual-world story. Jared is a thraumaturge (magical grad student) trying to become a sorcerer, but can't get an emerald for his wand. Jarrett is a computer programmer who has broken the If Barrier on behalf of a wealthy client who sells gems. I hate getting contracts for stories that aren't done. It feels professional, yet scary

And my notice of a mammogram on Dec 26. Happy Boxing Day!
