Doolies reminded me yesterday that I can post text even after my decision to horde my Horribles on the Tuesdays and Thursdays. Drawing has become rare thanks to reading too many books (that's just a sampling; I've been on a tear this summer, reading 10 books over the last couple of months).

The weekend is almost here again. This week went quicker than last week. It's cloudy today and my website says it's a measly 62 degrees. I'm happy as long as we don't break 90 again.

Last Friday I stopped drinking caffeine. I suffered last Sunday for this lapse, but the rest of the week has not been bad. I realized I was drinking coffee more out of habit than for its delicious caffeinated drug-i-ness. I'm going to focus the caffeine on my writing day (man, I wish I could add an S to that last word). I'm sipping my decaffeinated coffee right now. As I've said in the past, it doesn't taste the same: it leaves my mouth feeling a bit chalky and dry, as if it's missing a very vital ingredient.
