Okay, so I told myself I would knuckle down and write ALL. DAY. LONG. Instead, I:
• Baked a batch of lemon poppyseed scones for breakfast. Had one with lemon curd and a cup of coffee.
• Emptied and filled the dishwasher.
• Cleaned the downstairs bathroom.
• Used the dust mop with the 15 foot extension pole to dust the walls and sweep away cobwebs (cathedral ceilings suck.)
• Went shopping for a strapless bra to wear with my party dress for the upcoming vacation to California. Picked up a new swimsuit while I was at it.
• Took two loads of trash out to the dumpster.
• Did one load of laundry.
• Spent more time than I meant to researching gunpowder, but I needed to know to give my story veracity.
But! There were still words. Enough that I'm mostly satisfied.
Ha! Half-way done. And I asked for and got my posting day changed to the 26th (from the 24th), so I have a bit more of a grace period to get this thing done and dusted.
