The house is so silent, except for the ceiling fan humming a soft, still-mostly-night song. I don’t really care that it’s below freezing outside. I like to burrow deep beneath the blankets to sleep.

We had weather that took out the satellite. I had revisions–which I’m gleeful to say–make the book better, and now it’s on the editor’s desk in England. I’m so happy about that.
