I thought I'd best post so folks wouldn't think I'd shriveled up and blown away. I'd love to tell everyone great and exciting tales, but the truth is there just hasn't been much going on. Summerish weather with a bit of rain, very busy at work, not much spare time at home. Lots of cactus blooms and cherry tomato buds, a few long jalapeno peppers-- pictures coming when I have the energy to download/upload/tag, etc.  Progress on the writing front has been extremely slow, particularly this past week. I should get a little break here, though-- with the end of a cycle at work, I can head home early tomorrow and have Thurs/Fri off. I plan to spend the time writing, at least until my eyes give out. The Rx had seemed to show a bit of improvement, but for some reason, today they have been bugging the beans out of me. It might be due to an Excel spreadsheet marathon at work with lots of tiny number entries involved.

The bunny in the previous entry's photograph has been driving Goblin and The Ghost insane. It, and likely its mommy, come into the back yard to munch on the tough desert grass tufts, then easily escape through the wrought iron fence or the drainage cuts along the bottom of the wall when the dogs come out. The dogs would in turn drive me insane, were it not for the possibility of facing MomZilla, said creature being born the last time The Husband went out of town and the dogs doing exactly this for about seven nights in a row: Waking me up every hour starting at 3:30 a.m. in the pursuit of bunny capture. They have learned the hard way that they DARE not move from their beds until they're told it's okay, which is generally somewhere around 6:10 a.m.

Here's the progress meter. I've crawled my way up to around 97 pages and am trying to decide at what word or page count I might reveal what I think I might title this novel:



(By the way, I learned the hard way about five minutes ago NOT to accidentally click on "Rich text" (when you were aiming for HTML) on the Update Journal page. It makes you lose your entire entry. ::sigh::)
