one more week of school and then maybe i get something like my life back. i'm dying here, folks. sorry i've been so neglectful.

i'm behind on the writing, but am almost finished with the next installment of Reconstruction (i'll hopefully catch up tomorrow).

The Company We Keep: this scene: "Undesirable".

scene synop: emmaline sets out on an unsuccessful crusade to get the local ladies to stop being bigoted prigs about who they allow in their church.

darling:
Noreen Kress, freshly arrived from the city only the day before with her husband, bustled in late to the meeting. She wore a coat trimmed with ermine and seemed to have sharpened her nose over the holiday.

mean things: another platterful of random meanness ~ mostly a huge helping of racism side-by-side with an order of paranoid religious despotism. probably the most interesting thing about writing this was discovering Sandy's prejudices against the local prostitutes and how vocal he is about this, not realizing that the ladies pretty much lump him into the lot with them. bigotry is an interesting animal.

no random fun fact today. brain is too dead to conjure.

i did the dishes this morning, but the refrigerator is empty and the laundry is waiting and everything seems like a huge mess right now. but tulips are blooming, so all is right in the world.

hope everyone is well ~ !
