pshaw_ravenI need to learn how Obsidian works. And since it isn't full-featured on Chrome, I need to get it onto my Windows computer and learn it there. I may wish to rearrange my desk some so that typing is easier, making two workstations out of one computer - the writing side and the drawing side.
I finished up a rough draft of "Oracle," and now I need to get it typed up so I can start editing. I typically like to write longhand and just ... write stuff. I'll make notes or digress, and that's all stuff I can fold in when I'm editing. Some of my rough drafts can be pretty disjointed.
But first, a short run. Just to the stop sign and back. I'm enjoying running again, not really going out with any agenda, just running. Today I may run some speed intervals once I'm at the top end of Villa Nueva where the surface is firm. I want to get a solid base built up by March where a ten-mile long run is normal, and from there I can build up miles to get to my goal of fifty. RunDisney is opening Wine & Dine signups early - February 10 for the great unwashed. Fox's foot and leg have improved so much that he's now going out regularly for walks and starting to build his cardio and endurance back up. That's the power of seeing a doctor who fucking listens to you. So he feels much more confident about signing up for Wine & Dine himself.
We shut a Dove in the garage, and I found it yesterday. It was exhausted, but happily not dead. It was trying to get out the back window, so I opened the main door, but it was determined that the window was the way out. It was also tired enough that I was able to grab it and carry it outside. When I got to the driveway and opened my hands it did that thing where it just sat staring at me for a moment before flying off, as if it was thinking, "So are you going to eat me? Wait ... you're not?" We're usually good about checking for birds when we've had the door open for a long time, but sometimes they hide.
