Been so busy lately, I really needed a down day. So my brain played solitaire, and my body just curled here like a cat in the chair. The time change is toying with my endocrine system. For the first time in weeks I felt free-floating anxiety: that prickling sensation. It's only my body. I didn't get sucked in. Didn't feel like talking to people. There will be plenty of time for that tomorrow.

Danny found an external CD burner in the attic, so today I removed 2 G of images from the hard drive of the old computer. On a whim, I threw a disk in the old burner, and the damn thing worked. I still have the pile of useless disk here that it chewed. Maybe the computer senses its imminent replacement and is begging forgiveness. Futile, now that I've had a chance to play with 1 G of RAM.

Bruce is determined to give me a working computer. He took his old PC back home last night and replaced practically every part of it. Windows has to be installed again, of course. I am embarrassed and grateful. He is an angel. I might drive to Toronto Thursday evening to pick it up, if it's ready, otherwise on the weekend.

I'm not interested in Hallowe'en this year.

I have only the foggiest notion what I'm writing for NaNoWriMo. Only one day left, but tonight I'm determined not to worry about it, or anything else.

Thank you, D.

My 23-year-old niece, Robyn, who had the opening of her first solo show on Friday did something that reminded me of you. She made postcard-sized prints of six of her paintings and sold them individually ($1) or in complete sets ($5). She will donate 15 per cent of the proceeds to Sheena's Place, a centre in Toronto for people with eating disorders.

Her brother Darcy, 20, is a member of a rap band, and he is the lead singer. They've done three concerts, and all their proceeds went to the Humane Society.

Oh, my goodness, I'd almost forgotten!

I really have to try to write something this year. 2 years ago, I wrote about 150 words. Last year, not a word. :(

Yes, participate this year! I have a few friends undertaking it. The more, the merrier.
