The good is that I have just submitted a reworked version of the first chapter of Alice Rising to a state arts commission fiction project. Of course, that will eventually become the bad, because I know they won't like genre, but still. It's got lots of local color which they do like, and I needed the feeling of submitting something, right now.
The bad is that I have a lot of pain and tenderness in the top of my left deltoid muscle. Seems all to be in the arm, so I'm hoping it's just my usual complaint of tendinitis, and not a rotator cuff injury (hoping I'd feel that more in the shoulder, but who knows?). But even tendinitis takes me six months or more to heal. Why can't I start over and be 15 again, or at least my tendons?
The other good is all the beautiful yarn I bought at a sale (just went to check out a shop and happened in on first day of sale). Best is some Silk Garden varigated for a scarf, not very challenging knitting, but I want a scarf that looks like this yarn. Also some purplish tweed for a cardigan/jacket, and some light green/aqua cotton for a sweater for Lydia. I've got that one well underway, but will stop for a while now. I know I'll find it a little less appealing to pick up since next step is casting onthe arms on double-pointed needles, a job I don't love. But it's easy when that's done.
On my way through rewatching Firefly before rewatching Serenity, I saw "Ariel" last night. ( maybe a bit of a spoiler? )
