It was a long day all day

I attended my local RWA chapter meeting which meant getting up early and driving quite a ways. But the company was great and gosh it was really wonderful to sit around and talk to writers -- real ones -- who know about agents and editors and how freaking hard it is to write. We traded stories and gossiped about agents, editors and writers and talked about our careers. Then I drove back home for my save-me-from-myself appointment and then back to Larkspur for my son's soccer games. It was raining, windy and cold. Oh my gosh. Then back home with a stop off to get burritos for dinner then home to get our wet clothes in the laundry. I got *some* writing done between then and now, but I'm exhausted and, naturally, I bought books at the meeting, so I'm looking forward to falling into bed with the dog and the cats and a new Laurel K. Hamilton and reading until my eyeballs fall out.

One good thing about my new-to-me car is that I don't have to worry as much about the roads that routinely flood during the winter. The Petaluma River runs right through Petaluma, meaning much of the town is alluvial. Large sections of the surrounding countryside are vernal wetlands. And some of those vernal wetlands have roads through them. Now that I don't have a low to the ground car, I don't have to worry so much about my usual route home -- which has two places that are not uncommonly under a couple feet of water.

Tired. Bed. Book. Me.
