Celebration dinner...

It was snowing so instead of traveling 10 miles to Russell's Steak House on the other side of the airport, I went to an Outback that was only 4 miles away. And damn, it was good. The salad had some kind of blue cheese vinaigrette dressing with pecans, the 6oz filet and baked potato were perfect, and I even had cheesecake with chocolate sauce to finish my wine with.

I got so into it, I didn't think to take a photo before I began feasting...so this is how it was going. The DP was a prelude to the meal. 

Came out to nearly $70, including tip, which is about half what the other place would have cost, and I was purring like a kitten at the end of it. Only issue is, that one glass of wine made me sleepy. I don't have the tolerance I once had. Which is good, I guess.

It was still snowing when I came out, so drove home and took a nap. Still a bit sleepy. I may stay in bed all day, tomorrow. Just bring my laptop in and work on BDO, there.

Oh, I also got a haircut at a shop where this lovely Persian lad who goes by Q did a great job.

I think it's finally really sinking in just what I achieved with A Place of Safety. For me, even if to few others. I'd been working on the story for decades. Fighting over it with Brendan. Often thinking I couldn't get it done. Shouldn't get it done. And now it's over and I'm just...I don't know what I am.

I need to hermit for a while. Let my brain and body and spirit reconnect. Ignore the horrors growing everywhere, thanks to that beast in the White House and his demon spawn.
