Limbo
This is an odd week—it’s a lot of waiting to see stuff. Mostly good stuff (like, my story goes live on Monday! THERE WILL BE LINKS AND MUCH EXCITEMENT AND PROBABLY CAPSLOCK); possibly good and, worst case scenario, not worse stuff; and not-good stuff that doesn’t affect me or mine directly, but I am waiting to find out how it will indirectly affect me.
I hate waiting. I hate the unknown. I am not good with these things. I would be the worst follower of Earthseed, like, ever.**
But I knew this going in, and so I’ve given myself a very light schedule of to-dos this week (it helps that I have four days off coming up, during which I can clean my damn house), and my mantra is be kind and drink water.
**Read Octavia Butler’s Parable of the Sower and Parable of the Talents. Prepare to cry. And for outrage. Because this is some seriously plausible near-future dystopian sci-fi, that probably deserves its own post.
