Why I have insomnia:
I Was up late the other night, trying to remember what a wildebeest looked like. Eventually decided I was picturing a water buffalo.
Looked it up. Looks more like a moose than that. Also, I can't spell them.

Why is technology not helping me live a better life?
I was raised on The Jetsons and Star Trek. You never saw anyone in those shows wanting to beat their computers to death with a hammer.

Our church has become sort of dog friendly, on Wednesday nights. But that might not last. Apparently, last night, during evening prayer, one of the paw-rishioners got the zoomies.

Should I tackle some of the easy but numerous things on my to-do list? Or should I watch some random guy on Youtube pressure washing a brick patio?
But.. The patio has moss...

I've been watching reruns of 20/20 to relax...
(I know, weird, right?)
There are a lot less master criminals committing crimes than mystery novels have led me to believe.
People, I have notes.

Playing a complicated game where I move files from format to format so I can break the DRM on books I've actually written so that I can save the files and edit as needed.
Because the system is so tight that it protects me from myself.

Re-editing an old story that I've gotten the rights back to.
Very few mistakes as it was professionally edited before. Removed a couple of prepositions, changed one word...
And discovered I misspelled Almack's!!!!!!!!
Oh, dear. That's like being a demon with a 'Hail Satin' tattoo.

On a quest for a book cover design and using my standard, fatally bad instincts.

Living in a world of 24/7 irony is still not as fun as I thought it was going to be.
Also, too many people didn't pay attention in high school english.
