The Post For Stuff You Wanna Tell People

I was reading a (very) popular magazine article when I suddenly, unexpectedly, saw MY NAME. They quoted a study that I had published last year!

Awesome! Congrats!!!

Good for you!

My note is less celebratory, but I seem to need to let someone know...today would have been the first day of the summer tours I won't be giving again this year, and I'm wishing that were different.

Thanks, everyone! It was such a shock and an amazing feeling to see my work being read by a broader audience.

Mamselle, I'm sorry you are missing another summer of tours!

Thanks.

In a sweet turn-around, though, my next-door neighbor asked when I'd next be bringing my accordion out on the front porch to play, as I did last year a couple times.

I'd sort of forgotten, so I'll have to do some extra prep for that, I guess, soon.

It was nice she remembered, and asked.

Big day tomorrow and smudge on my pedicure.

I realize every time I have gone in for a successful job interview, something went wrong and I still got the job. (Boyfriend dumped me the night before, lost a button, spilled on myself...)

So will take this as a good sign.

[ab_grp]

Good luck tomorrow, ciao_yall! I hope the smudge does turn out to be a good omen.

[cathwen]

Good luck, ciao_yall!  May the smudge be your magic charm!

Fingers crossed and flinging cat hair here for you, Ciao yall!  (Do we still fling cat hair here?)

Went to the gym for the first time since we surged in November. It was nice to move real weight, not the elastics I use at home. Happily, I've not decrepified too much.
