Feeling better, finally, though still wrangling a bit of a cough. Spent today picking blueberries and traipsing around farms in eastern Wisconsin, which was delightful. Last weekend's drag show was a lot of fun too! I also got to have lunch with a friend I haven't seen in a year and a half, picked a bunch of tart cherries and currents in the Bancroft Meridian Garden and made cherry-current chutney. And I gave some things away on the neighborhood Buy Nothing group and was gifted with some herbs from a neighbor's garden.

Other items of note:

Had a screening interview for the job I applied for last week and felt like it went well. I find out tomorrow or Monday if I made it to Round 2 (I expect there to be at least 3 interviews for this).
Have a phone interview tomorrow and followed up on a referral for a different job.
Did a practice run for the Strong Women, Strange Worlds reading on 7/15 (which reminds me that I need to do a timed practice run).
Sent Foxhunt out for reviews and discussed the finalized interior design. So excited about this book!
Started talking to cover artist Dian Huynh about the cover for Jennifer Goloboy's Obviously, Aliens, which we'll be publishing in December.
Read some submissions for Queen of Swords Press; we're getting a lot of things that do not fit this reading which is your reminder to read the guidelines and try to familiarize yourself with what a publisher actually publishes and is looking for.
Did lots of fiddly administrative things and worked on the new short story and the next novel chapter for Patreon.
Did not make much progress on the Teachable class and need to dig into that tomorrow.
Going back to the Twin Cities Antiquarian Book Fair for the first time in two years this weekend, but this time on a tight budget and just a few months after the death of my friend, Dave Christenson. Feeling a bit iffy about it, but will see if I can go and think of it as a semi-new event, rather than a familiar one with big loses.
Going to see "Black Widow," because of course I am. Part of this week's cold recovery has been watching the earlier Fast & Furious movies so I'm clearly in an action frame of mind.
