Well, my first day as an unemployed librarian. Or as a housewife. Stay at home mom of cats. Writer "between novels."

I ate some flax flakes and then headed into Cambridge where I got my eyebrows waxed, my hair cut and coiffed, my hands exfoliated and my nails manicured. And I do intend to go on as I've begun!

My big plan for tomorrow is to make big batches of vegan bran muffins, chickpea soup, and ratatouille. I just love batch cooking. Chuck it all in the freezer, and voila, delicious homemade vegan meals whenever you want them.

I can't wait to catch up on my reading, too. I have loads of books waiting to be cracked open. It's such a luxury to have all of this time. I can feel myself losing my crazy impatience...I was really okay waiting for the 66 bus today. After all, where on earth do I have to be?
