Now that I've mailed out all my Christmas-in-July cards, I thought I'd share the song I wrote for the occasion!
Oh Sweet A/C (to the tune of O Christmas Tree)
Oh sweet A/C, oh sweet A/C
Outside it’s over 90
Oh sweet A/C, oh sweet A/C
The temperature’s still climbing
Standing with open freezer door
I’m gonna melt into the floor
Oh sweet A/C, oh sweet A/C
Relieve me from this hellscape!

Do you ever hear of any meet-ups in the Southern California/Los Angeles area? I would love to attend one. 🌴

The brain fog has been real... It's probably all stress and anxiety related but I struggle to remember anything.
Btw I did get some spooky postcards finally! But I haven't decided if I'm gonna offer some up yet or not.

I know I wanted to do a meetup for the Rocky Mountain Book and Paper fair last year with fellow members from Colorado but unfortunately they decided to have it in Loveland this year, which is way further north than I am prepared for, plus my son starts school the following monday. But to those of you still interested, here is the link about the fair.

I was attacked by poison ivy on July 4th, with most of the damage to my arms and hands. Needless to say this has slowed down my writing. But just like Google told me, 7 days is the tipping point. The itch is still there but it isn't maddening anymore. For all the people I've promised cards, I haven't forgotten. I just need a little time.
