Harvest time

[luzula]

1) Work hit me like a brick wall in the first week of the semester: a fully online course, and one that I've never taught before, with about a hundred students, who are all new. So tons of questions, etc, mostly of a practical nature. Ugh. Hands hurt, shoulders stiff.

2) Nevertheless I have finished drafts of two big fannish projects lately: one is the audiobook of Flemington, by Violet Jacob, for Librivox. It'll be about eight hours. The other is the alternate ending of my latest Flight of the Heron fic; I am very pleased that it went over 30K, thus putting the whole verse over 100k! \o/

3) Am now working from the family summer place for a week. Look at all the mushrooms Mom and I picked today! They are almost all the delicious Boletus edulis. Now we just have to slice and dry them all...

Ooh, what a haul, I'm envious! We should be seeing boletes now but our very dry summer has meant no mushrooms. B went hiking on his own to fish in the wilderness (my broken toe is not yet healed enough to hike) and he reported zero zip nada. We still have some dried B. edulis from last year but getting down to the crumbs.

Yeah, it really varies year to year! This year is one of the best for boletes in a while, where I am.
