First, regular readers may have noticed that Peanut didn’t post yesterday. She’s still invisible, so I decided she might as well be inaudible, as well. Although she’s far from inaudible. I hear her romping around up there in the evening, as if to rub it in that she’s there but I don’t get to enjoy her presence. Stinker!
ANYWAY, I want to tell you about a most fun thing: A Blind Date With A Book. The book store where Per Bastet had our book non-sale and non-signing had a shelf of books wrapped in paper, with the genre and used-book price written on the wrapper. I bought a Mystery one. When I unwrapped it, it was BEFORE I SAY GOODBYE by Mary Higgins Clark, which I haven’t read. There was also a very nice bookmark. Great gimmick, and it didn’t disappoint.
My nails this week are kind of crunchy leaves in tones of brown. Instead of using crackle polish, I stamped with a crackle pattern.

My hands are also rather crackle, because I forgot to moisturize before I took the photo, and I’m too lazy to do it now and take the picture again. Bleh.
A WRITING PROMPT FROM ME TO YOU: A blind date.

November 20, 2025 at 4:59pmI can’t give her a pet at all — I haven’t seen her in over two months. I hear her romping in the night, though.
