Life in The Desert

~It is presently 99° and 7% humidity. We're sealed up in the AC and the humidifiers are burbling. The promised thunderstorm has not yet manifested and is now off the forecast. Oh well...

Random

~I've been on a really 'tight rotation' Up/Down sleep cycle, like three/four hours up and then about that down. Mah Brāne has been Brāning like fuck. Mostly that's about working on The Explanation. I'm in the process of writing two new Addenda and excising an existing one. This will also mean re-posting the entire thing, a modestly daunting task.

And of course I'm still coming down off my whole Birthday Blues bullshit. [I first wrote it 'bitchday' lol] I'll leave this at that. Got a few Pages I need to Face.

And there ya have it....
