Yoga: My lower spine hurt this morning, so I was really only vigorous with my shoulders, but WOW was it easier to balance this morning. Clearing primal crud out of hip joints may prove really useful…go figure. (I don’t know why I’m calling it primal crud but it feels right, even if I can’t make

Nur…good writing day but too tired to write much journal-y stuff. Summary: Yoga good but I opened up that sore hip further than usual, along the joint beside the spine, and it felt like it opened up a well of deep crap, like, beyond primal, and I’ve felt yucky all day. I went for a

Disrupting my routines this morning coz I’m agitated. The guy with the problem with AI and pumpkin spice lattes that I’ve been bitching about over the last few days on locked posts has been blocked.

Updates! Ray and I are out of the AirBnB and in the new apartment in Tampa. We are walking distance to Busch Gardens, although we’ve not been there. The apartment complex is pleasantly scummy, with the friendliest office folks I’ve ever met, and everyone I’ve seen here has been nice. I’m sure there will be

Yesterday, the characters in the current scene–all I was trying to do was wrap up the scene, I swear–went off the rails at the last second in a way I didn’t expect but will make the thing I’ve been promising (a visit to the one character’s extended family) more fun to write. Okay! Slight replan!

Midjourney AI, best practices I messed up sharing some of the Midjourney posts on Instagram, resulting in multiple copies on FB. I’m just gonna leave the duplicates. Current best guess on how to use Midjourney: 1. Don’t expect perfect, or even reasonable, control. Allow for happy accidents a la Bob Ross. 2. The order you
