8/3: scheduling

 ...a doctor's appointment for later this week.  Why is this a good thing?  Because I had been putting it off and putting it off and putting it off.

8/2: turning my head

...this morning and seeing Phineas the Cat quietly watching me at the side of the bed, as if he didn't want to disturb me or wanted to make sure he'd be welcome.  So I made a "come here" gesture, and he came and curled up next to me.

8/1: being able

 ...to test Tilde the Cat's glucose level at home.

7/31: Tilde the Cat

 ...waiting for me to play a little with her before she and I both head to bed.

7/30: making

...a grasshopper pie with Chris.  It's chilling in the refrigerator for tomorrow.

7/29: reading

..."The Parson's Daughter of Oxney Colne" by Anthony Trollope because I saw that it is on the new required reading list for all 12th grade students in Texas public schools.  I was surprised to see Trollope's name at all on the list.  I'm not sure what young people who read only this slice of Trollope's work will think of it, but I was glad to have a push to get some Trollope into my summer.

7/28: receiving word

...that some recent collaborative visual poems were accepted for publication.

7/27: mailing and making

Mailing a package of freshly-made copies of a pamphlet to my co-author.

Making a lot of copies of a past pamphlet so that a punchbowl of them that's part of a travelling exhibit can be replenished.
