(The last couple of Fridays got away from me. Knowing people are reading/enjoying helps a lot with getting me to post when that happens...)
Welcome to this week's salon post!
( Useful notes: consider tracking, comment as you can, questions are great )
Topic of the week
In the Northern Hemisphere, there's been a lot of summer out there. (Though locally, much more moderate this week.)
Do you like summer? What keeps you going in hot weather? (Me, I am a 'hide in a dark room with the air conditioning, and seltzer to drink. Maybe a gin and tonic occasionally' sort of person.)
If it is not summer where you are, tell us the wonders of winter! Or your local climate.
What I've been up to:
I've been writing - someone on one of the communities I follow mentioned a gamification writing site, http://4thewords.com (free month trial, $4 a month after that). I'm finding it useful (since it means I have a rough draft of stuff in one place on the web), and also amusing. The game part is that you battle monsters with set word/time counts and earn things, which either give you bonuses on challenges or are fun clothing for your avatar.
I have also been in all sorts of rounds of medical stuff (the joys of getting to second tier medical issues is that the more pressing ones are behaving themselves. On the downside, new set of appointments.)
My allergy shots are going well, though. And otherwise teaching the new Dedicants in my witchcraft tradition (we're doing the third proper class tomorrow.)
