Lev Lafayette's journal

I had the alarm set for 10:00 but I didn't actually get up until 11:00. I kept pushing the snooze button. Finally got up and had breakfast and coffee, then called mashfanficchick to see if we were getting together today. No, ze was just watching the end of the baseball season, so instead I went to the Starsky and Hutch creative work session on Zoom.

I got some writing done on the story I'm working on, and had a lot of fun chatting. Major topic of discussion was stuff about the con of course, another recap after yesterdays discussion.

So for those who don't know, I crossspost this journal in both Dreamwidth and Livejournal. Livejournal has really stagnated over the last few years, but someone has started a community to revive it. Basically a friending community. So I joined up and posted today. I got some new friends out of it, hello everyone, and I hope that LJ can be revived a bit.

Anyway, I did that during the breaks when we were not chatting. And I also got a new friend on DW, so hello also.

After we finished the Zoom session at 5:30 I puttered online, until 7:00 when I Teamed the FWiB. We talked for about an hour and a half, which was nice.

Then I called Middle Brother. Nothing new with him, except he's looking forward to Columbus Day and Halloween.

After that I had dinner, and then went to the bedroom where I meant to read the zine I've been reading but ended up playing solitaire on my phone and scrolling Facebook.

At pet feeding time I came out and fed the pets, and here I am.

Oh, disturbing news of the day, a woman's body was found in the water at MacNeil Park, the one I call the big park in College Point. I hope that, sad as it would be, she was a suicide, because a murder would be too upsetting there where I have so much emotional history, and an accident doesn't seem very likely.

Anyway, that's all for tonight. After this, go read that zine before bed.

Got up this morning at 9:00 for my Al-anon meeting. Had breakfast and coffee, showered and dressed, and headed over.

Made the meeting early and helped set up. The meeting was good, but I didn't go to the diner afterwards. That's because instead of the regular diner trip to the Neptune diner, people were going to meet the son of a member who died last year and was in town now for I think the unveiling of her grave. I didn't know her well at all, in fact I'm not sure I could put a face to her name, so I didn't feel I should go.

So I went back home and got on the Starsky and Hutch chat, which today was a recap and discussion of SHarecon. It was very enjoyable. mashfanficchick was there, which was nice. And Flamingo was there to hear what we had to say.

We chatted until a little after 5:00, and then ended. After that I puttered online and as usual at 7:00 I Teamed the FWiB. This time Teams did not act up like last night and we had a good time til 8:30.

I had dinner and then went to the bedroom and went through my zines. Sadly I discovered that, of the freebies I brought home from the con, I already had two. I am either going to give them to mashfanficchick or, if ze doesn't want them, I'll hopefully be able to bring them to the next in-person SHarecon for the freebie table. Fingers crossed there will be a next one. We won't know for certain for about a year. But it looks hopeful.

Anyway, then I called mashfanficchick and talked a bit. Possibly I will see zer tomorrow, we shall see.

I played solitaire til pet feeding time, and then I fed the pets, and here I am.
