930 AM Going to try contacts again, or at least a monofit. I hope it’ll work. I really don’t like glasses. I’m thinking about going for daily wear, to avoid some of the problems I’ve had in the past. IF I can get a monofit, so both eyes...

I need to. Todd’s working on the cover, and I need to finish this by the 20th of June. I think I can. Typically when I get to a near-finished stage I do a ‘rolling rewrite’, in which I go back to the start and fill in all the detail, check...

—got the stream and lotus pond finished. And I (who hate shopping) went and made the massive grocery run (well, massive for us) and got it all done. We are exhausted. But it all works! And I found everything I needed.
