Snow day 2. I am a genius because yesterday when we wanted marshmallows but the line was too long at the grocery stores I said,"Let's go to Frank's pharmacy and get Peeps!" Perfect for winter spring. Vera has been out all day galavanting in the Garden and with neighbors. I have been inside, wearing the sheepskin slippers I got for @mckenziewark3000 and catching up on work and community projects and emails. Also I started #danaspiotta s #innocentsandothers and I LOVE it. @jamesbraly sent it to me last year in the throes of #cancer and I couldn't concentrate on a novel then. And too much political news for the past few months. I've been reading nonfiction and news and twitter since Jan 20. I can't believe the new ban, the dismantling of govt, taking away healthcare. I am trying not to think about it because if I do I get totally immobilized. #ovariancancer would be a #preexistingcondition and I just can't let myself about what if it comes back. I can't. I have to stay positive even if it means I'm ignorant right now. I'm angry, that's good. But I can't afford to get into a real depression right now. I can't afford it time wise or energy wise. I always remember Irina in Three Sisters "I want to work!" So do I, so do I... anyway Spiotta is SO fucking good. A little more work on a grant and then candles and novel. #snowday❄️
