Happy Solstice, Update, and Jacqueline Carey
Happy Solstice! I’m listening to Jackson Browne doing “barricades of heaven,” thank you Bear.
This song just makes me want to be writing Kismet instead of tweaking Valentine. Urgh. I have first-pass pages for Valentine 4, which means it’s almost in bed and I’m almost finished with 5.
Okay. So Oji-san is going into surgery this afternoon at a new hospital; they transferred him yesterday. Since his color is good and his spirits are up, they finally decided this type of surgery is going to be best for him. Quite frankly, if he’s hung on this long he has a good chance of pulling through if they can just stop the bleeding.
*sigh* I hope it goes well. I really, really do. I miss the DHM. I am hanging on by teeth and fingernails.
IN other news, I am planning on attending the Jacqueline Carey signing at Beaverton Powells tonight. The Sullen One will help me wrangle the kids, and the Mighty Martian Crab will be there too. Plus I need to return some books to Saint Peter. But I am not going to miss the Carey signing.
I am a HUGE fan of hers. The Kushiel series, I think, is some of the best fantasy to come out in the last decade/fifteen years. (I should know, I’ve read a lot of it.) But I just fell in love the moment I opened Kushiel’s Dart and have never been disappointed since. One of the proudest moments of my life was when Ms. Carey gave Working For The Devil a cover blurb. *boggle* It was like…like…well, words can’t describe, and I hope I don’t gush too much tonight.
I’ve caught some more sleep and my eyelid has stopped twitching. Thank goodness. This has been incredibly draining.
Merry Solstice to you all. May your light and life increase.
