Where I Left

Marble and granite. Glossy wood floors. A nanny who followed me around because I didn't want her to take care of the baby, but I couldn't get rid of her.

Sometimes I broke branches off the shrubs and left them hanging there. They'd be gone later. Either a gardener, who was probably peering at me from the guest house, or the bush healed itself. Disorder couldn't exist there.

Not a Good Start, Or Maybe It Is

So this is blog-writing. Interesting.

My first attempt, just a minute ago, resulted in a translation to Hindi. Cool, but probably not the most useful way for me to write since I don't know Hindi. But I seem to have an inner heretofore-hidden technological genius, because I found where I had enabled the Hindi translation, then, in another stroke of genius, disabled it.

I just moved to this bitty cottage by the water, leaving the husband and the stepson behind (do you like how I just threw that in there, as if it was an afterthought?), and discovered immediately that I need something else to do besides work and stare at the tiny baby who is always grinning at me. (Or is that smirking?) (Either way, I'm becoming suspicious of her.)
