catherineldfSo New Year's Day I twisted my right ankle horribly during an an activity that shouldn't have led to ankle swellage. Friday, I went to work, driving on the ankle, but elevating it and bracing it once I got there. Saturday, we went to the Walker to see the artist book show, which was okay. We hit the giftshop afterward, which was surprisingly good for a change, seeing as I haven't found anything I wanted there since the place turned into the Angry Robot (thank you, S.N. Arly).
Eventually we went home. Then we went back out. And I went dancing on said ankle! Why, you ask? Well, we were at a formal lesbian soiree, complete with adequate bar band, and it seemed like the thing to do.
Sunday, ankle was very unhappy. I missed my friend's cool annual tea party in the hinterlands of surburbia because I really couldn't drive and my beloved equates the words "tea party" with "eldritch horror." This is what happens when you marry a butch. But there it is.
I did, however, get some useful things done while becoming one with the Epsom Salts. First up, I'm going to be a guest on the the League of Amazing Paranormal Women blog radio show (http://www.blogtalkradio.com/League_of_Extraordinary_Paranormal_Women/2009/01/30/ParaWomenRadio) on Thursday, January 29th at 7:45 EST. I'll beblathering sharing about lesbian ghosts, Haunted Hearths and other paranormal things.
I also finalized a date for a local release party for Night's Kiss; that'll be at True Colors Bookstore (4755 Chicago) in Minneapolis, on Valentine's Day. Time will probably be 7ish, that's TBD. I did just hear from the talented and adorable Nell Stark (http://www.nellstark.com/). She's going to drive all the way in from Madison in dead of winter to join the fun. Nell is the author of several hot romance novels as well as a number of stories in various erotica/erotic romance anthos. There's a third mysterious guest as well; I'll post when she confirms. Yay! :-D
Oh yeah, and I got a good start on my Loft Career Initiative Grant proposal, due in a couple of weeks and on the story I have due this month. And now, back to work.
