It’s been a productive few weeks.

My thesis is defended, and, shortly, will be submitted. I had my final MFA reading, which went well (sometimes you can feel these things from the eye contact of the audience alone!). I submitted my manuscript to four chapbook contests. And wrote a poem.

But mostly I spent the last week in mushy love-land, as Jordan was visiting. We didn’t do much, except eat, and talk, and bask in one another’s presence. But it was just so nice to have him around, to be able to turn my head and peek over into the other room and talk to him about stuff on metafilter.

The apartment is quite a bit more lonely now. I’m getting work done, slowly, but surely, to fill in the gaps, and I picked up a Mercedes Lackey novel from the library, which has put me in a nice, otherworldly mindset (the type of escapism that good fantasy is for, I think!).

. . . but still, I miss him.
