Snowed in, Day 2

catherineldfWe got an amazing amount of snow yesterday (amazing unless you happen to live in, say, Buffalo, NY or equivalent). It's mid-thigh high out back by the garage and I need to go do my shift at snow removal even though my left wrist is killing me from yesterday. Sigh. I'm also feeling unpleasantly out of it since I needed to hit the Tylenol PM to sleep at all and appear to have woken up with a lowgrade migraine - discomfort and mild streamers rather than much pain.
But onward and upward, I suppose. I have finished most of my present buying as of this morning and am now embarking on my new project and a bit of some other things. Or at least will be after trying to excavate more out back. There's no way my car will get through the giant snow bank otherwise, in which case no work tomorrow and less money toward the exciting list of recent expenses. Speaking of presents and expenses though, Uncle Hugo's and Uncle Edgar's Bookstore reports that their online search and buy is up and running. Just saying, seeing as many of us are in today anyway.
And in keeping in with my generally random thoughts today, so on the one hand, Alyson Books goes all epub claiming that the "gay and lesbian community tend to be early adopters of new technology" and I know that my sales and most of those of my peers who write LGBT work are going heavily ebook, neither of the major awards for LGBT writing: the Lambdas or the Goldies, will consider standalone ebooks. Not even if they are set printed pdfs. They will consider completely unedited self-published works, however, such as the sort of book put out on iUniverse or Publish America. And so we ask, WTF, people? How's that ebook revolution thing working out for you?
