Return of the mojo…
Io is a purring machine. His love for me has returned in full force. My allergy-ridden sinuses prove it ;-)Leia? Much less bitey. Much less swearing has been shot in her direction this evening.We’ll not talk about the attack of the flies.

Have put notes onto the computer, and am *finally* getting one of the short shorts I’ve been jotting in fits and starts into semi-story form. And as each word hits the page, I feel happier.
