Daily Diary, Day 951: I sent off the manuscript to my copyeditor this morning, 2 days early, so I’ve been doing a happy dance (and so as not to injure myself, I am putting up Leeza’s happy dance as my illustration!) I also had both a good night's sleep, after a day with no advil, and today I am feeling pretty much back to normal (regular aches and pains--smile). Might even go for a tiny (I mean 5 minute) walk in a bit.

This morning saw a new bird at the feeder, a tiny lesser finch, much smaller than the regular house finches we had already been getting. And I found the squirrel underneath the feeder eating from what has spilled on the ground. All delightful diversions.

I had two phone calls this morning, but nothing scheduled for this afternoon. And, while I have things on the to-do list I could do, I am going to soak my eye while listening to the Carl Hiaasen, then read the science fiction book I have been working on in the ten minutes before bed each night. This feels incredibly decadent!
