The Daily Report

Being back here after two months away is a little bit weird, though less weird than I expected... by the time I left Hagerstown it really felt like it had been ages since I actually lived here, but as soon as I got inside that feeling diminished quite a bit.

I got the fans and A/C going in my attic and got the temperature down pretty quickly, and got a really good night's sleep. I've just placed an order for a new phone with a new carrier, which should be awesome... the new one's got a slide-out keyboard.

This is my only full day here at the house before I go to stay with my parents for a few days, for celebrations coinciding with the 4th of July. Next week I'll be a bit more active on the writing and development fronts.

State of the Me

Doing okay. It's hot here, but easier to manage temperatures.

Plans For Today

Got a chapter of Tales of MU to finish and post. Other than that, mostly just settling back in.

Ugh, tired.

I probably shouldn't be surprised at how tired I am today... we didn't stay up too terribly late my last night in Maryland but we weren't in bed before midnight, and I was awake shortly after sunrise. It was another hot weekend all over, and of course travel isn't exactly restful.

Right now I've got the kind of fogged-in feeling that usually comes for me with deep fatigue. There isn't much that actually needs to be done on the next chapter of Tales of MU, in terms of volume... but it's all mental. I mean, more so than writing is a mental activity to begin with. I was depending on being able to think my way through a problem and untangle the story from the mass of words...

I've been resting and turning in early tonight. I'm leaving for my parents' house in the late afternoon, but it won't take me more than a couple of hours of being well-rested and alert to square this away.
