Eclipse Posting!

As in, we have plans for the solar eclipse, and that’s gonna mix up posting for quite a few days. Worth it if we can get some good totality going, though. Honestly, posting’s gonna be erratic for the next week*, all in all. Sorry about that.

*There’s the SCA event I’m running, right after this. Fortunately, the weather’s holding up…

Lonnnnng day today.

Had to finish the newsletter AND track down my glasses. Well. Try to track down my glasses. They’re still missing. In fact, now that the baronial newsletter is done I’m gonna go try to find them again. Yay.

I gotta spend the next two weeks worrying about the weather. Yay.

Got the eclipse next Monday, then the SCA event I’m running at the end of next week. After that I think I am officially done caring about the weather for a while. Or about much else that isn’t family- or book-related, honestly. Cannot wait*.

*Personally, I wish the universe had been a little more thoughtful over scheduling what might possibly be the last accessible solar eclipse on the North American continent in my lifetime. It would have been so much easier if it had pushed the eclipse back a month – what’s that? Look, we had a problem with the dates for the event, all right? We couldn’t do anything about that! But the universe could just, I dunno, do physics or something. Gimme a break, I’m a fantasy novelist.

Happy Easter!

John 20:11-18.

Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene

11 Now Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb 12 and saw two angels in white, seated where Jesus’ body had been, one at the head and the other at the foot.
13 They asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?”
“They have taken my Lord away,” she said, “and I don’t know where they have put him.” 14 At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus.
15 He asked her, “Woman, why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?”
Thinking he was the gardener, she said, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him.”
16 Jesus said to her, “Mary.”
She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” (which means “Teacher”).
17 Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’”
18 Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the news: “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them that he had said these things to her.
