I did get some WIP-reading done, and a lot more of lying in bed by turns listening to The Goblin Emperor (which I know so well I'm not stressed about missing things) and dozing. Back is still tender, but not so much as even this morning, so, yanno -- progress progresses.
I'm hoping to be done with the worst of this particular brand of nonsense by tomorrow. fingers crossed
The cats are liking the lying in bed part of the day's structure. I fear they're going to be disappointed when the schedule returns to what I like to call normal.
I may try to get one more shift of WIP-reading in this evening. Or I may just watch the last three episodes of WandaVision.
Everybody stay safe; I'll check in tomorrow.
Saturday. Cool-for-now and sunny. Windows in my office are open.
Woke up early and ill, but hey! At least my back doesn't hurt. Currently sipping ginger ale. Trooper has had his morning gravy-with-meds.
I did watch the last three episodes of WandaVision last night. Pulling the witch out the hat was . . . facile, and honestly, I'm not inclined to follow Agnes any further down her road.
I'm actually amazed that Marvel tried to undertake a story about life-changing grief, and that they managed as well as they did. Even unto that very difficult -- and correct -- ending. And Wanda's love for Vision did not allow her to remember/recreate him wrongly.
One of the things that we as writers do over and over is to use death as a plot device -- the motivating force that triggers the Real Story. And while it's true that the Lost Girl, the Dead Spouse, the Slaughtered Village releases a lot of energy, surely there are other means available?
Going back to Wanda -- I'm interested in the smart girl with the bright red lipstick -- Darcy? -- who seems to be a continuing character. Does anyone know where I might find more of her?
And on that note -- woman does not take her meds on ginger ale alone, so I'd better see what I can cobble together and call breakfast.
I expect it will be another Off-Kilter Day here.
What's the day looking like there?
Rosebush proof of life:

They pointed out that the sheepskin they use on their dining room chair was on the floor.
They initially bought themselves one but the first time Gary encountered it he claimed it, and they couldn't bear to take it back so just bought another one.
He ended up with three over time.
We got rid of (most of) his along with his other things, but V does still have theirs of course, on that chair.
It probably fell on the floor when I was putting the chairs back after they'd been on top of the table so the dining room could be cleaned yesterday. But regardless, Gary is such a big presence still.
I miss him so much. I think about him every day.
