Draft 1 Finished
I finally finished hacking out the story "Building Bridges." I did a good deal of editing in the first 2/3 while I was finishing, but I know there will be more revisions to come. And cuts, there will be cuts of extraneous wordage, for sure.
Still, it feels good to have the whole plot worked out on paper, even if the details aren't in the best form yet.
*sigh*
Yesterday we had a dinner party, inviting over friends from church to enjoy some mojo lechon asado. Yummm. The meat was so tender that Deric couldn't carve it! XD Oh and I burned the snot out of my hand gripping the sautee pan we were using to roast the pork. It's usually on the stove so the handle is never hot! Until now.
After food we were talking and saw the ducklins outside with their mama. The count was down from 12 to 10, and one of the 10 had a problem with its little leg. I got the feeling that the next time I saw them there'd only be 9. We tried to catch it...but mama wouldn't let us near it.
In other news, Deric got a call from the BoA (not the singer, the bank) HR dept.. He's now scheduled for a group interview on Wednesday of next week. He's not too thrilled at the idea of banking again, but a job is a job, and if he's hired we can start house hunting.
