The landlord needs to shut the water off in my building today which means the place will likely be empty. I filled my bathtub with water to run the toilet, have enough water to drink and cook with, and I am going work and enjoy the stillness. :)

The latest chapter (88) of Flying Witch is kind of mindblowing... Wow. It's gentle and relaxing (it's Flying Witch, after all) but...gosh it hits hard.

I've seen things…you people wouldn't believe.
Home runs and fastballs off the shoulder of Ohtani.
I've watched high beams…glitter in the dark at the Dodger Stadium Parking Lot Gate.
All those moments…will be lost in time,
like tears…in rain…
Okay! So I'm being dramatic! We'll get 'em next game!

Wow! I made an unexpectedly good sandwich. I would share a picture, but I ate it already. Gosh, that was yummy.
Wishing everyone who reads this the magic of an unexpectedly good meal.

On a panel at Rose City Comic Con I was asked about my writing process. I said my best days ever are when I can sit at my computer to write and immerse for hours. Like any other obsession, it's probably unhealthy. And I am super inefficient. But I'd rather do nothing else.

Looking at rough of the next chapter I'm editing, I came across this sentence:
"Anyway, once we get back Anyway anyway, we'll have plenty of time to eat when we return."
Yes, it's a cut/paste remnant--but it's also sort of my world view in a nutshell. One day I should find a story for it.

I am thinking of writing a very short flash opera about a worker bee whose troubles stem from not realizing how valuable she is to the hive. I will call it, “The Plight of the Humblebee.“
