Been some busy time visiting my sister and her beau. After a week of working on comics and oil painting, this weekend Cedra and I helped work on the garden. I used my meager woodworking skills to raise the top of the arbor. And then we hiked the trails over in McCloud. Amidst a drought in California, it has been raining a lot this week, and so everything was so green.

This morning (Monday) is the last day in Bandon, OR. As my friend Cedra and I pack up and drive inland to stay with my sister and her beau. Goodbye coast. Goodbye honking lighthouse replacement machine. Goodbye dead cow on the beach. Goodbye visiting writing friends. Goodbye pretty rocks. Goodbye kites and beautiful sunsets. See you elsewhere.

This morning was one of those morning where I had way too much dilly-dallying before I buckled down to work. And I’m realistic in my memory, I recall, even when working a day job, there were plenty of days like that. The difference is: now I care. Ha! Finally, when one can legitimately spend hours on Facebook and Youtube, one has good reason not to (aside from the NORMAL good reasons).
