so this is going to be a little less chatty. Check out this link:ArtsJournal: RoadTrip. Violinist on tour in the UK. Not as boring as it sounds.

Feeling much less stressed, now that Lumina is mostly at the production office. Mostly, because one of the fiction pieces doesn't seem to be the right version and its editor has disappeared, but Holly hasn't dragged me into it yet, so I'm letting her deal with it. And I started a new short story, which I can use in workshop in a couple weeks, which sort of makes up for not doing anything on my thesis. Plus my other homework for workshop is almost done, which makes my Monday a little less crazy.

I also had a nice talk with Susan about what we could do the weekend I go see her in Houston. At the moment we are planning to go to the rodeo, see a concert at her church (or put on by her church somewhere else, I'm not quite sure), and go to the beach. Just thinking about it makes me feel so much better.
