Over, under, sideways, down...

Played catch up most of the day.

Up late. Spent most of the morning researching markets and mailing off manuscripts. Took a pleasant timeout to sit in front of the fire on the patio and drink coffee.

Cleaned the house while waiting for the sprinkler maintenance man and the Xfinity tech rep to show. All good. Sprinkler blown out, software update on TV successful, house spic ‘n span.

Like to say I accomplished more, but it would be a lie.

Head all full of Pittsburgh at the moment. Can’t seem to get around it. Keep telling myself not to think beyond the moment, be the mountain. But it’s gonna be a long time before things come correct on that account. A very long time.

Now that I think about it, I’m tired of exactly as many people as I happen to miss.

But that’s a conversation for a different day.
