Chinese Food for Breakfast
Saturday, December 27th, 2008 09:34 amChristmas the day was quiet. I read, but did not finish, a book. It was nice. I must do it again, sometime. At two o'clock Steve and I kept our reservation at The Lucky Panda, had a leisurely dinner and wended our way home again, with leftovers, naturally. The evening was spent talking to family via the phone, watching the last two chapters of the Book of Water for Avatar and playing a few friendly hands of rummy.
Yesterday was a little more frenzied. I went out early, mailed a couple of necessary packages, did some grocery shopping. I devoted the rest of the day to Fledgling while Steve perused the page proofs for Longeye. It takes me days and days to do page proofs (yes, I read slow, not a good thing in a professional writer), but Steve finished up in one day. Color me impressed.
Last night over dinner and a glass, we listened to the new sea shanty CD, and so to bed, where the dreamwork was supervised by coon cats.
This morning, amidst the rain and/or ice pellets, Willie Nelson and Wynton Marsalis ("Two Men with the Blues") provided music to eat leftover Chinese food by, and now it's time to get to work.
