Long-Delayed Update
Currently existing words: 14,253!
Research trivia: Bitterroot daisy is not native east of the Mississippi.
Music: Lots of Indigo Girls, Django Reinhardt
Sustenance: I've been cooking and eating a lot of different things. Breakfast is sometimes toast, sometimes a smoothie with soy milk, frozen fruit, and a bit of frozen yogurt, plus a dash of Torani orgeat syrup. Orgeat, as Regency readers know, is an almond-flavored drink, and the almond flavoring goes well with the frozen berries or cherries
Other writing-related work: Much unpacking and hauling around of boxes in the office, looking for old backups. I haven't yet found the backups, but I did unearth my Office X disk and immediately installed it on the desktop. Now I can open the hundreds of research files I've created in Word over the years.
Serendipitous finds: Certain lares and penates: a horseshoe, a double geode, certain other important small possessions; also a whale of a lot of things I want to get rid of.
Reading for pleasure: a biography of Daphne du Maurier
Exercise: just from housework
Life support work done: More than I can recall, but the oak bookcase is out of the kitchen and being filled with books, the storage shelves are set up in the kitchen and being filled with food for the coming months, and there are stacks of books all over the living room, since I am unpacking and sorting them. Also, I have reserved a rental car in Madison and one in Philadelphia.
Animal assistance: Gabriel is thrilled to have me home. Often while I'm working she alternates between sleeping curled on my desk, her head pressed against my arm, and strolling over the keyboard, purring loudly and demanding admiration and petting. Then she disappears, or goes outside, or just wants to check to see that the outside world still exists outside the front door and the back door.
