Thunderstorms are moving into the New York area, threatening to preempt my weekend plans.

My blog is malfunctioning in myriad small ways. The plugin that’s supposed to gather a daily digest of my Twitter updates stopped working last week, so I replaced it with a different one. That one worked for a few days, then it died, too. I tried upgrading my WordPress software and the plugin versions. No dice. So much for auto-feeding the blog beast with cheap tweets. Another plan foiled.

So far I haven’t done any writing today. Instead, I’ve been scrambling around and running errands. I still have to clean the cats’ litter box. Oh, joy.

Time to go get the dirty work done and then get to writing. If I can. Sigh.
