I work tonight. (nurse. three 12-hour shifts in a row starting tonight) I ought to be sleeping.
Can’t. Tried. Got my schedule outa whack on my days off.
So, I’m zine’ing. Working on the cover and the page numbers of the Road Trip Zine. Then it’ll be FINISHED!! Then I’ll figure out which pages to post as an excerpt. It’s a good one, filled with lots of photos and some fun word associations.
You’ll see.

Well, it took me the better part of the afternoon. I cleared my desk of all the business-y sort of paperwork that had piled up in the past week. And now I can get down to the fun of zine’ing.
Worked on a mini-zine last week. I’ll post it later today. Promise.
And it rained this afternoon. Life is good.
home. road. house. family. journey. cloud.
some of the words from the Thesaurus and Dictionary and book of Synonyms, Antonyms, and Prepositions that I have that I’m copying for my Road Trip Zine. There are some interesting associations. Not as dramatic as some of the past issues, but, hey, it’s a road trip. It’s not supposed to be serious.
zine’in’. working on the middle touches. It’s like last minute touches, except that they happen in the middle. I’ve got most of the photos into the places where they’ll go. Now I’m adding zine flare. This is the really fun part!!
I’ll post a page later today (this week-ish) so you can see an example of what I’ve been working on for the Road Trip Zine.
I got some photo paper for the ink jet printer that I have. And I working out which of all the snap shots that I took during my road trip last month to include in my zine about the trip. And I’m putting down some (more) of my thoughts about home and family.
As opposed to s’mores thoughts.
Which I have from time to time, too.
We did not have s’mores on the road trip. We had beef jerky, orange juice drinks, Dr. Peppers, popcorn, and peanut butter and crackers. This is not an exhaustive list.
excerpt of my thoughts:
Family is not the same thing as Home.
It was hard not to include the part of the map of Missouri that I grew up in, the part that I think of as Home. And not to include the part of Texas that is also Home. New Mexico is a home away from Home, much like Chicago, New Orleans, and – now – Kansas City.
