Busy time, this autumn

I'm gonna be offline and unplugged most of this weekend. I peaked in my routine yesterday when I cooked a batch of vegetarian chili (this time, not adding 1/8 of a teaspon of cayenne pepper like the first time, when it should have been a dash or two); wrangled a Canada Council for the Arts grant application (both acts which were supported by an amazing partner who remembers deadlines that I try to ignore until the last), and wrote hard, then thought harder, about my second book.
