Today Is Tuesday

[dancinghorse]

Every morning when I get up, what with the life of a freelance writer/horsebreeder being intimately connected with the hours of the day but not with days or dates, I first run through which day of the week it is. On Tuesday, the theme song comes from the old Mickey Mouse Club: "Today Is Tuesday..."

And today is Tuesday. The car is fixed. I think. It should make it to Phoenix (and Gilbert and Tempe) this weekend for Famous Author Things.

Reality is asserting itself, after a fashion. Confusion is turning into order--friends gathering (lunch with Christy and Janni today), Kath's affairs being settled by a group at the apartment, everything slowly settling itself into a new arrangement, minus one of its familiar elements. Life goes on in a very literal way.

Reality on the farm will stay in flux for another week because of the Famous Author Thing plus the friend getting full knee replacement thing. I'm getting that antsiness I like to feel: wanting to get back to my real work of writing books and riding horses. I'll be -ready- when all the foofaraw is over.

So will the horses. We are already dealing with accusations of Abuse and Neglect from the resident workaholics. Keed was happy to get his birthday ride yesterday but sulky not to have had my undivided attention. He wants it all day, every day, of course, as do they all, but this, he says, is Right Over The Top. Pooka is oogling those big brown eyes at me and making his ears curl even more adorably than usual, in hopes that I'll come and ride him. Capria just sighs. And Camilla the War Mare stalks over to the gate and Glares. Want Out, she says. Want Out Now.

Unfortunately they don't understand the concept of "Next week for sure, guys." Horses are all about RIGHT NOW. So they have a call in to the World Horse Union, and I suffer the opprobrium of the equine masses.

Hugs, Barb. If you mean the general facts, I've had those in ongoing progression since Friday. I was on Sioux's first e-mail notification list--in fact I looped Janni and Larry in as she didn't have their addys, and let Beth and Katie and Jenn know as well. Christy dropped me a note as soon as she decided to head Tucsonward. It's been an amazing demonstration of the efficacy of the bush telegraph.

I'm not on dm--the usual reasons of time, space, etc.--so I would love to see the posts if you can forward them.

I've been thinking of Starfall, too. I had his addy on the old computer, but haven't had a message from him since I got the new one. It's alanh@something, but dinged if I can remember what. I'm hoping he sees the book-fair PR and comes by.

I keep saying how good it is to see all the old phosphor faces. And it -is.- I lost GEnie some time before it died when I got a computer that wouldn't interface with it, and I've been missing it ever since.

Let's not lose it again. Deal, guys?
