For the next five days talk about three positive things about your day. I'm posting yesterday's things this morning, as yesterday afternoon I was driving back to PA from DC & when I got back had to finish some grading & unpack & feed and medicate His Imperial Majesty. I shall endeavor to do today's list tonight.

1. Fandom Meet-up - Friends old and new. I won't list individual names, because I'm bound to forget someone and then I'd feel really guilty, but it was wonderful to see familiar faces and also to put names to faces for folks I'd not met in person before. Thanks to everyone who made their way to DC (okay Fairfax, VA) to share the love of White Collar (and other fannish interests), play writing games, and keep the wait staff at the Logan's on their toes. Safe travels to those of you making your way home today (and tomorrow, Pooh).

2. Fandom Meet-up - Words! I had a horrific semester last spring, during which I had no time to write, and unfortunately the writing doldrums largely carried over into (and through) the summer. I had to leave the meet-up earlier than I'd like (work calls), but I wrote two short pieces during the picture prompt games, one of which may end up having a sequel, and I feel inspired to finish off the drabble/time-stamp meme I started last May/June.

3. Coming home to a purring cat. I'm sure he probably spends most of his time sleeping when I'm away, but I always miss my kitty, and as much as I didn't want to leave the fun and creativity of hanging out with fandom friends, it's better when you come home to a loving ball of fur who climbs onto your lap and butts his head on you and purrs aggressively. Not that I dote on my cat, or anything.

Meanwhile, I am trying to figure out which friends are already doing this and which aren't. I tag

sahiya and
