Yup.  I missed a day.  I fell asleep when I took the dog into the bedroom in an attempt to calm her down.  We had some bad thunderstorms last night.  She does not like thunderstorms.  I’m not going to even say what time it was, but it was embarrassingly early.

So, about yesterday… I spent most the day licking my wounds.  I found out that my application for the Signal Fire Outpost residency was not selected (8 spots, 170 applicants).  It’s okay; every rejection forces me to work harder, after I wallow in misery for an hour or so.

And today a friend suggested we take our own retreat, here.  They let you barter to bring down the cost (which isn’t very high to begin with)… I wonder how much they’ll knock off if I promise to write them a poem?
