Usually I wait until at least the end of the month to do these, but this happens to be convenient for me to do right now, while I try to find all the various scraps of paper listing other things I want to write about.

1. What was your favourite subject in high school? In general, I liked my science classes, particularly chemistry. I also really liked the Great Books class I took one semester senior year.

2. Name three people whose lives have been improved by knowing you, and explain why. Cindy, because I listen to her complaints about work and help her plan travel. Kim, because I’m supportive when she’s depressed and I come up with interesting things for us to do. The Gentleman with Whom I am Conducting the World’s Longest Running Brief Meaningless Fling for somewhat obvious reasons.

3. What profession would you have chosen, if not your current one? Maybe a bookseller.

4. How do you react when you realize you've made a mistake? Mistake? What’s that? Seriously, my first instinct is denial, but then I try to figure out how I can fix things.

5. Describe your favorite sound. Waves crashing against a beach, especially on a stormy day.

6. Imagine you are attending your dream concert—what songs would you want to be played? What does the stage look like? I rarely attend concerts that have more than one performer. I would love to see Jonathan Richman again and I wish he would perform both “Give Paris One More Chance” and “Here Come the Martian Martians,” neither of which I’ve seen him do live. Beyond that, I’ve never seen Luka Bloom live and would like to. And it’s been years since I’ve seen Eric Bogle, but I don’t think he's touring any more.

7. Where are you from? I grew up in a ridiculously small town on (well, off the south shore of) Long Island.

8. If there was one person who you had the power of giving immortality to, who would it be and why? I have read enough fantasy to believe that immortality is not a gift, since it doesn’t guarantee eternal health. And one would invariably outlive the people one loved the most.

9. What is your favorite game? Why? Well, the game I play most often (with two different groups of friends) is Code Names. But, if I had to choose one game, it would probably be backgammon. I used to play it all the time, both with a couple of different friends and with my mother (who I taught to play).

10. What is your all-time favorite sports team? First is the Red Sox and second is whoever is playing against the Yankees, aka the Source of All Evil in the Universe.

11. What is a smell that you remember from growing up? The smell of the ocean. I also really love the smells of a couple of flowers - honeysuckle (though it can get overwhelming) and lily of the valley.

12. What is the best decision you have ever made in your life? Probably going to MIT. It opened up a lot of doors to me. And the great thing about MIT is that people there tend to be very devoted to whatever they are passionate about, which is not necessarily their studies.

13. What is something you are optimistic about? It’s rather hard to be optimistic given the politics of our times, but I like to think we’ll get past the more ridiculous aspects of the current world situation and regain the rule of law.

14. What would you say is the biggest accomplishment in your life so far? I had a successful career and am in a good financial situation in retirement. That has enabled me to see much of how magnificent our world is.

15. When was the last time you failed at something? I’ve continually failed to achieve total world domination, but I’d settle for having a clean and organized home.

16. Which wild animal would you adopt as a pet and why? I wouldn’t adopt any wild animal as a pet. Wild animals need to be in their proper environments and suburban America wouldn’t cut it as ideal for any of them.

17. When was the last time you tried something new? I think the paper conservation class I went to in Greece in June counts.

18. What is your favorite room in your home and why? Probably my bedroom, which is usually the least chaotic part of my house.

19. If TV and the internet didn’t exist, what would you do with your time? I’d spend a lot of time reading and listening to music and, hopefully, also making music.

20. What are some major inventions that happened during your lifetime? I am old enough that there are lots of things that didn’t exist in my youth. The most obvious is personal computing and, especially, cell phones.

21. What have you done that was "out of character.” I was almost 40 before I ever slept a night in a tent. With is something I discovered that I really enjoy doing.

22. Name four items that can always be found in your refrigerator. The things I always have in my refrigerator are mostly condiments, e.g. mustard, sriracha, and orange marmalade. There’s pretty much always packets of yeast. There’s also probably things like butter, sour cream, and some sort of fruit, often oranges and/or apples.

23. Do you have any fantasies of living in the jungle? Only for brief periods of time. The jungle tends to be hot and humid and have scary insects.

24. What is on your mind right now, and will it affect your sleep? I’m trying to get some travel plans finalized. I doubt that will affect my sleep.

25. What childhood character traits did you have to let go of but wish you didn’t? What can you do to adopt these traits again? I can’t really think of anything. I think I’m a better person than I was as a child.

26. Do you prefer character-driven or plot-driven novels? Why? I definitely prefer plot-driven novels. If nothing happens and it’s just people talking to one another, it’s hard to keep my attention.

27. What is your favorite type of weather and why? I like dry and crisp air, with temperatures in the mid to upper 60’s Fahrenheit and slightly cloudy skies (to avoid glare). That way I’m comfortable and, as long as it’s dry out, my hair won’t be entering the room an hour before the rest of me.

28. How are you going to entertain yourself when you’re retired? If you are retired already, are you spending your time the way you envisioned it? I think I’m spending my retirement more or less the way I thought I would. The first thing I did after I retired was the Smithsonian Certificate Program in World Art History. I try to go to a fair number of educational events. And, of course, I travel a lot, though there are always more places I want to go.

29. What conspiracy theory do you believe is true? I don’t believe any of them are true.

30. Which person would you like to see more often than you do now? The gentleman with whom I am conducting the world’s longest running brief meaningless fling, of course.

31. What qualities do you judge harshly in others, and how might they reflect parts of yourself? The things I look on harshly in other people are definitely traits that I feel bad about myself for. Those include being disorganized and lazy and being judgemental.

The original person from the moving company who I talked with about what I'll be having moved told me someone would be calling me about three days before the move to finalise the inventory, so I was expecting the call to be tomorrow or maybe even Monday. However, this afternoon a call came from a number unknown to me and I decided I'd better answer it just in case it was that call. It was, and the guy went through my original list to check numbers, and I was able to add more boxes and a couple of other things, as well as confirming that they will be taking the stuff to storage for at least a month. This call has been one of the things causing me a lot of anxiety - I was worried about being able to add to the number of boxes, I was worried about whether they would think they should deliver the stuff to my daughter's, and I was worried about just when the call would come - so having it happen earlier than I was expecting, and at a time when I was quietly at home, was a relief. They did charge me extra for having more boxes than I had originally estimated, but I was expecting that.

Now I will be waiting for one more call in a couple of days, to tell me what time to expect the movers on Wednesday. Then I'll just squeeze all that's left into my car and be out of here.

I was tempted to skip parkrun this morning because the temperature was only around 41°F/5°C when it was time to go, but I put on several layers of clothes and wore a headband and went, and I wasn't sorry, and I ended up without the headband and with only a thin long sleeved shirt over my t-shirt. I'd forgotten that when the temperature is around 40°F to 50°F (4°C to 10°C) it's basically perfect running weather. I guess I'm still feeling cautious about venturing out in those temperatures because of the problems I had with my nose bleeding last winter, but my nose was fine this morning and conditions were great for a run, and in fact I managed my fastest time this year. I'm still very slow at a bit over 37 minutes for 5 km/3.1 miles, but apparently that's 66.09% of my age grade so not too bad. There were three of us "back of the packers" battling it out (one a few years older and one a few years younger than me) which is always fun.

There were some fun Halloween costumes at parkrun, including a very impressive turkey costume featuring lots of white feathery bits and huge yellow "feet" over the person's running shoes, although come to think of it, I'm not sure why it would be a turkey for Halloween.

On the way home I stopped off at Safeway for a couple of food items to see me through until moving day. I'm going to have to do more shopping either on moving day or the next day for food for the week in the AirBnB, but I'm not going to think about that yet.

This set of questions feels like it's aimed at someone quite a bit younger than I am.

21. What do you like most about your job? What do you dislike most about your job? I don't have a job, but if you consider "being retired" as work, what I like about it is that my time is my own and what I don't like about it is that sometimes it's hard to motivate myself to do something.

22. What’s something new you recently learned about yourself? Nothing comes to mind.

23. In one sentence, how would you describe your relationship with your mother? She died some years ago, but before that it was nonexistent because I had cut off contact with her.

24. What was the most defining moment in your life during this past year? I can't think of anything in the past twelve months that would count as a defining moment. If you go back a few months further than that, it's a different story.

25. What’s the number one change you need to make in your life in the next twelve months? I'm in the process of making it - moving to Connecticut.

So apparently, my fancy assed GE combo washer/drier which I really love, needs hand holding by a representative of the mother ship every six months. Yesterday, after 5 hours, the clothes were still wet. Really wet. So I hung them up all over the apartment and logged into my extended warranty and set up an appointment. Tuesday afternoon. I just cleaned all the filters but I'll do it again and then do a test run in hopes that it was just a one time glitch. I really do love the machine but fuck me, I'd love it better if it weren't so needy.

I had just finished watching something Oh the new Boston Blue (I think one episode is enough of that one), when I got a text from my nephew. "What do you think of this?" hmmmmm It was a head scratcher. I try to keep up with the kids these days but I failed... so I responded "What this?"

Turns out he meant the world series game which I had ignored so successfully, I forgot it was even on. I popped over to Fox and OMG. The score was Blue Jays 11 and Dodgers 2 in the 7th. NOT what I expected. I actually watched a little but those broadcasters chased me into mute and then I gave up entirely. I'm glad they won one.

Steve reminded me this morning that it's time to start working on Christmas dolls. He thinks, since the bunnies of last Easter and the pumpkin people/ghosts, that I'll be doing every season. Nope. BUT I might make up a bunch of snow men. I don't have a pattern perfected but I have some ideas. I need some brown pipe cleaner and orange fimo clay. After elbow coffee.

I have this weird patch of dry skin on the palm of my right hand. I've actually had it before and now it's back. I think it's from the pool. While doing laps, I push off the side with the palm of my right hand. I need to not do that and see if the dry patch clears up. It's itchy and uncomfortable.

I need to get dressed and put away all the now dry clothes hanging around before I head out to the elbow.

Good morning, afternoon, and evening!

We're doing some database and other light server maintenance this weekend (upgrading the version of MySQL we use in particular, but also probably doing some CDN work.)

I expect all of this to be pretty invisible except for some small "couple of minute" blips as we switch between machines, but there's a chance you will notice something untoward. I'll keep an eye on comments as per usual.

Ta for now!

The Work in Progress

Oct. 25th, 2025 09:54 am

[personal profile] mallorys_camera



Cranked out 1,500 words.

And the words came easily.

They were all about the early days of the COVID pandemic. Patient Zero lurches into the tiny community ER & Grazia (who does not keep up with the news) immediately realizes she is out of her depth. Still. The mysterious respiratory ailment doesn't even have a name yet, let alone a diagnostic test. And the world outside the medical community seems to be plugging obliviously along.

I hadn't planned to devote today to writing, but I think I may anyway because the end of the next scene will be a natural chapter break. This means one additional chapter in Part 1, but that is not necessarily a bad thing: My original outline would only have amounted to 60,000 words, and 60,000 words is short for a novel.

###

So! This scene is the Day Before the World Shuts Down. March 16, 2020.

Grazia and Neal meet up to march around bits of "what is left" in Kingston. They banter amusingly. They have lunch in a hole-in-the-wall Jamaican restaurant. Grazia sees her first civilian in a surgical mask. What other status details can I use for foreshadowing? Last sentence in this chapter will be something like, "When I woke up the next morning, the world had shut down."

###

In Chapter 4, Grazia will have a psychological breakdown related to being floated to the wards & forced to care for patients who are actively dying, whose bodies are stacked on guerneys in the hall because there's no place to put them. Heretofore, she's avoided developing any kind of personal relationship with the patients she treats. But now she can't any longer.

Maybe she stops eating & sleeping for a couple of days? It's gotta be a psychosis, but it has to be clear it's a temporary psychosis and one that does not subtract from her integrity as a character.

At the height of her psychosis, she has some sort of spiritual vision, some intimation of an indifferent universe but essential oneness. Neal will rescue her, nurture her back to mental health. But the residue of the experience will be that henceforth Grazia has faith in an indifferent God.

Status details to include:

• Public Policy Eleanor's anecdote about scoring N95 masks from a drug dealer at 4 in the morning
• Those weird corpse guerneys

The end of the chapter (and the end of Part 1) has to segue somehow back to the scene of the four women on Neal's porch at the beginning of Part 1.

###

Looking for something as good as Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norell, I started trying to read The Starless Sea. At page 50, I gave up. Not my kind of book.

But...

Its style—relatively short declarative sentences, externalized metaphors—is perfect for Daria's voice. Even more perfect if Daria is all in the present tense! Daria is a character who thinks in three languages simultaneously. This is difficult to convey when the author only knows English! 😀

That is the great challenge in writing this book. I want the three POV charaters to have very distinct & different voices.

It's challenge time!

Comment with Just One Thing you've accomplished in the last 24 hours or so. It doesn't have to be a hard thing, or even a thing that you think is particularly awesome. Just a thing that you did.

Feel free to share more than one thing if you're feeling particularly accomplished! Extra credit: find someone in the comments and give them props for what they achieved!

Nothing is too big, too small, too strange or too cryptic. And in case you'd rather do this in private, anonymous comments are screened. I will only unscreen if you ask me to.

Quite a few of my coworkers have October birthdays so we always go out to dinner to celebrate them. Went to Arch and Eddie's for the first time in a year. Definitely a different app menu from Sixth Sense (Like I said, two different owners now) Also something new, two fried chicken sliders with siracha sauce, broccoli slaw and general Tso's sauce. REALLY damn good actually. As was the raspberry whip (whipped cream vodka, pineapple juice and raspberry puree.

We went from that to Michael's for ice cream parfaits, I had the apple cider with marshmallow and caramel sauce.

But still...I wish this was last night so I could have gone on the ghost walk. ah well. it was still fun.

I was looking at Coldwater Creek's All-Season Jacket because I could use something like that, but holy cow, it's over $200! Maybe I could find one on eBay. Yep, took 5 minutes and found it for half-price. I also bought some navy pants to wear with my navy-and-white striped top and a white linen blazer to wear while boarding the ship.

I joined Bumble’s BFF site. I sent a like to someone named Melissa who has some of the same interests that I have, but I couldn’t figure out how to send a message. There’s someone in Bloomington, but she wants retired friends. Oh well.

Whoa. Dizzy spell. Maybe I should lie down. I emailed in sick for the morning, but I’ll make it in for the afternoon. I’m up, but I think that I need a shower before I take the dogs out. Feeling shaky. Finally got myself together and got the dogs out.

Crud. I have stuff to do at work, but I'm feeling lethargic. I really want to go back to bed, but I have a singing lesson after work and I skipped last week, so I better not skip this week. Okay, got my act together. I keep needing to go downstairs and pee though. Getting older is the pits.

Oliver is sleeping on the chair upstairs like a little angel. Appearances can be deceiving!

Oh shit. I peed a little going down to the bathroom. Arthritis in my hands. I hate getting older.

I’m going to go to bed after my singing lesson and feeding the beasts again.

Gracie pulled me down the front stairs and I fell hard. I gave up and told my singing teacher that I won’t make it. This week really sucks. I’m going to eat, post, feed the beasts, and go to bed.

Yesterday afternoon I spent a couple of hours with my friend P (from parkrun), sitting peacefully in her cosy living room chatting and working on knitting/crochet projects. It was very pleasant, and I'll miss her company after I move. We're tentatively planning another (final) walk together at the end of next week, after I've moved out of here (providing the weather continues to be fine).

The real estate agent came over before lunch to pick up most of my house keys; I of course had to keep one so I can continue going in and out of my house. When he asked how I'm doing I told him how anxious and stressed I've been, and how I'm worried about fitting everything in the car etc. He looked at all the things I've got piled up and assured me breezily that I'll be fine. I hope he's right. He also kept telling me I'm looking wonderful, and that he's had other clients calling him in tears because they don't know how to proceed or something is too hard. He seems to be confident that the house will sell in two or three weeks, but that if it doesn't, he'll take it off the market and try again in about February.

Last weekend I emailed the government department that handles my monthly payments for Kaiser health insurance (National Finance Company, or NFC), letting them know that I am moving to Connecticut. This morning I had an email back telling me I have to choose a new insurer since I'm moving to an area where Kaiser doesn't have services, then I have to let them know my new choice of insurer and my new address. I was considering dropping the private insurance and relying on Medicare, but recent events have made me hesitant to do that so I chose a new plan (after checking that they have doctors in the area where my daughter lives) and emailed the details and my new address to NFC. Unfortunately the price is about 60% higher than I've been paying, but I was expecting a price increase anyway, going by news reports about health insurance costs.

I got an email message yesterday that my eye appointment - in January - was canceled because the doctor had left the practice. Best I can tell he was the only ophthalmologist there. And, my insurance has a very lame, and incorrect, directory of in-network doctors. Many of the ones listed may have practiced here once, but sure don't now. Ugh. I can't even decide whether or not to worry about it. I'll call over there this morning. 'There' is a large cadre of medical peops all over the northwest so I'm sure they will want me to go a doctor in Seattle and that is not happening. Now I'm worried about my primary care physician. I do not want to lose her!

It's so dark so late into the mornings these days. That will clear up next weekend when we switch the time again. But, now it's very spooky so, I'm thinking, seasonal.

Plus it looks like here it will be a rainyish day - spit rain - a little here, a little there - just constant. Which suits me fine.

It's new menu day. They publish the menus for next week. This week has been loaded with excellent options. If next week is back to not so excellent, I'll order up extra meals today to eat next week. Some of their stuff just freezes beautifully and serves me well when the menu is blah. New menu day is like planning the weekly grocery shopping except I don't have to go anywhere and it's already paid for... and cooked. The best of all.

I finished up Task on HBO. It was one of the more excellent series I've seen recently.

I think I'll go swim. I still have my Dollar Store list and the car still needs gas and still neither of those things has to be done today. Also I'm out of those good ham/cheese croisant-ish rolls that I like for breakfast. Costco. Sigh. So... who knows.

The tax law final was hard. Filled with questions like, Julius & Murgatroyd are a married couple under age 65. Julius is retired on permanent and total disability. What is their adjusted gross income limit to qualify for the hardly-ever-used (because never indexed for inflation) Credit for the Elderly or the Disabled?

But I got 94% on it, so you know: Go me.

###

Before I collapsed to watch endless episodes of The Real Housewives of Miami, Season 2—which is simply the best season of The Real Housewives ever made—I forced myself to tromp because exercise.

It was a very grey day.

It wanted to rain, but it did not rain, so the landscape was pregnant with a sense of thwarted desire. Not conducive to photography, so instead I offer you a photograph of golden grove unleaving during day-before-yesterday's drive through the Catskills:



Season 2 of The Real Housewives of Miami is iconic!!! So many vile people! So much bad behavior! What's worst? Aging Brazilian narcissist Adrianna punching foul-mouthed-but-seraphic-appearing model Joanna in the face at a lingerie party/charity event put on by Miami's Boob Doctor to benefit the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation? Or coked-out Nazi-cum-Real-Estate-Developer Thomas Kramer so perfectly blending misogyny & patriarchy at the Dinner Party from Hell?? (Shortly thereafter, Kramer was convicted on a RICO charge.)

Ben always maintained that the real reason Osama bin Laden took down the Twin Towers was because of The Real Housewives.

And you know, I think he just may have been right.

###

Anyway, I have carved out an entire day to play with the Work in Progress. So, that is what I'm gonna do.
