WEEKs OF Mar 3 to now, 2025

Last Wednesday’s snow storm led me to delay making my visit to Terry until Friday. In the meanwhile I kept up  with making small steps toward other goals: I ordered a new med the vet prescribed for Rajesh, paid extra for expedited shipping and it arrived the next day; I’ve now been administering it orally for the past week. Fortunately, he seems to like the chicken/marshmallow(!) flavor.

My sole house-plant suffered an injury a few weeks ago and I've been trying to propagate new roots from a detached branch. It's being awfully slow about it, but it looks like some nubs are on the way.

I ran my ads for a few days, but they need rethinking, as they are not getting many clicks. I’ve also studied a tutorial for a money-making scheme doing promotions on Instagram. I’m more interested in my reading material: currently the ‘Age of Unreason’ series by Greg Keyes – an interesting alternate history with alternate science, wherein Ben Franklin is a main character.

I'm still watching old episodes of The Avengers. Themes of mind control and paranoia around technology are more time-honored than I'd realized.

As of this current week, the snow is gone. I visited Terry again on Wednesday but have not had much energy for other projects. My Bookbub ads are on hold. I've been thinking about framing the painting I'll display at the Unicorn Art show if accepted.

Yesterday evening I participated in an online meeting of the Minicon Con Committee. I'm not on the committee, but I'm interested in a number of Minicon activities. Mainly Art Show this year, but I've been active in music and programming in other years. I didn't express interest in doing a filk concert this year or in participating on panels, but am still interested in hearing about the progress of planned events. My kudos to those on the committee; it looks like the con will go forward!
