The grass so far doesn't *need* to be cut but it's toying with me. Really hoping it just chills the heck out until next week. Or maybe next year. That'd be good too.

Me: "It's too hot and humid and sunny outside. I'll stay in." The Dogs: "We want outside we know we just went but we want to go again omg let us outside now pls"

I remembered I had a newsletter! Not only that, but I shared the first tidbit of new info regarding one of my already published books. I can't say much...yet! seanrfrazier.substack.com/p/do-you-lik... #Booksky

Really getting Willy Wonka event vibes from the photos of the Great American State Fair.

Thor wishes a happy Caturday to all who celebrate. Cats, basically, but also anyone else.

Working from home today means that I get to pet the doggos AS MUCH AND AS OFTEN AS I WANT!!!

Really counting on my coffee to work its magic this morning.

Yesterday I began my methodical "get stuff done around the house in preparation for a week's staycation." I figure, if I get it done beforehand, then I won't feel like I have to do it next week. Not a lot that needs to be done but it's nice to have motivation.

Oh this? This is my emotional support pre-coffee coffee.

Got some solid galley proofing done this weekend. Still a long way to go. I find I'm going slowly because I get sucked into actually READING and enjoying the story I wrote instead of simply proofing it for obvious errors. It's a good problem to have I guess?

Happy summer solstice to all who celebrate! Except the sun. That guy, man...

I have a week off coming up after next week and I'm thinking about all the stuff I should do that I never really do. But also I have galleys to proof and it would be a good time to knock those out. Guess we'll see which I choose.

Thor would like you to know you're all not worthy.

No YOU'RE in bed and trying not to fall asleep at 6:55p!

Okay, Thursday, what dumbfuckery are we knee deep in today?

My virtual open house is today! I'll be online for (2) one-hour windows: 10–11am EDT and 2–3PM EDT. There's no presentation, agenda, etc. It's an open chat if you have questions or you just want to come say hi, meet a few folks, etc. I think last time we had 4 in one session and 5 in another. 🤷🏻‍♀️⬇️

I don't know how it happened, but I apparently have ZERO meetings today. It's like Christmas.

Today's not Monday, but it's also not Friday.

How much coffee will it take to get through today? LET'S FIND OUT

I've got a week-long staycation coming up in a couple of weeks and I think I'm gonna try to get some reading done. I don't really want to be busy doing things. I want to slow down. I just want to...be.

Coffee truly is a miracle and I swear if climate change kills it off I will tear this place down. Slowly, though, because I'll be tired and headachy from lack of caffeine.

It's funny how something like a video game can become a part of your identity. Yet, so many things are ephemeral and what happens then? I played Destiny since day one. For over twelve years, I fought the good fight. Today is the last bit of content, then it fizzles out forever. Eyes up, Guardian

I built bookshelves and books somehow migrated onto them. Funny how that works. (we love them) Kinda surprised my cat hasn't figured out how to scale them yet, though.

New bookshelves! (they're not slanted, I just took the pic at a weird angle)

I made a pin to wear. HAIL PRIDE-RA!

I'm becoming increasingly aware that the job I'm currently working is far different from the job I signed up for. It's nobody's fault. Things have simply changed a lot. But that also means my happiness in this job has decreased quite a bit.

It's time for Mage Breaker galleys!!! Which is my least favorite stage of the editing process. ONWARD! *sobs quietly*

This one was NOT happy about the storm last night. She also puked. Needless to say, she had a crappy night. Which means we had a crappy night. (she's feeling better now)

I am pleased to announce that I, too, will not be performing at the Freedom 250 shit show.

Friday Eve...whatever. Thursday still stands between us and Friday and that makes it our enemy.

Catoflauge

Is it nap time yet?

Last day of my four-day weekend extravaganza. It shall be filled with sloth...and maybe a bit of work to continue taking down the playhouse.

Just logged out of work. Happy 4.5-day weekend to me!

Thor will struggle to get the few drops of water from a cup rather than move two feet to the water dish but okay.

With Mage Breaker: Reckoning edits coming to a close (hopefully this weekend), I get to bring my side project up from the minor leagues, and I'm pretty stoked about that. Which means, obviously, I need a new side project... Let's just say, I have ideas.

Currently trying anti anxiety meds for this guy so maybe he'll stop peeing on random things. He is NOT on board with this. (we've ruled out the obvious stuff)

I spilled my coffee this morning. I need to stop filling my mug so full. Counterpoint: I need a larger mug.

Reinstalled Battletech and I forgot how much I love this video game.

I'll hopefully be finishing Mage Breaker: Reckoning edits tomorrow morning while I still have energy to function semi-normally.

Working from home today because a) I feel like dog crap and b) I'm probably super contagious. Managed to get pretty much everything into the dumpster before whatever this is really hit me last night.

Hoping to have Mage Breaker: Reckoning edits wrapped up this coming weekend and, guys, I'm pretty stoked.

I just dropped off a TON of stuff in the neighborhood dumpster (that we can't recycle or donate) and, damn, it feels good to purge stuff.

Available Now! Between the Worlds – Book 2 in the Olive Tree Academy series #UrbanFantasy #Magic #Fantasy

Both Mage Breaker books (and the third when it's released) are now available on PayHip! If you want an ebook version from somewhere other than Amazon, you have another avenue! payhip.com/CreativeJame...

When you take a day off from work, it's important that you REMEMBER THAT YOU TOOK THAT DAY OFF FROM WORK. (I took tomorrow off and totally forgot until this morning)

As the day wore on, more goats mysteriously appeared and then AND THEN...a donkey! Today, they are all gone, and there is a spot of sadness about.

Have a couple of random goats for your Tuesday. (because I saw a couple of random goats)

I have second-round edits in my inbox, just waiting to show me how poorly I abuse commas.
