Just so ya know

For the two of you who might see this and don't already know, southernwitch69 has formed a community for those of us SSHG fans who are going to Portus: http://community.livejournal.com/portus_sshg/profile

Here's the website for the symposium itself: http://www.portus2008.org/

If you're planning on coming -- if it's even a possibility -- then sign up. As the time approaches, we'll be making plans for hanging out, lodging, and such.

As I get older, I become more reconciled to the spring and summer here in SoCA. I used to loathe both -- summer because of the heat and spring because it meant summer was coming -- but I've been enjoying the day today. Since R.G. isn't coming tomorrow evening, I've taken the day slower than I had originally planned.

Mom slept in yet again, so she was here when I woke at 8. I went to the car dealership to get some maintenance done, and Dad was kind enough to bring me home. (But boy, did I pay for it; he was such a grump!) Had breakfast, worked on the apartment, worked on some beta reading, and went back to bed for a bit. Then Dad picked me up on his way to a client's place and took me to pick my car up. Went to KMart and spent way too much money, came home, did more beta work, and went out to the garden for a bit.

It's breezy, upper 60s(F), and not a cloud in the sky. The cats are loving the sun and the breeze, and as I rinse off and place Grandma Pearl's rocks in around the pots in my dirt patch, I know that there's nowhere I'd rather be.

Just had to share that with you all. I hope you're having as good a day as I am.
