Rainy Day
It’s a rainy day and I’m working from home, because I don’t want to get soaked going to the office. So we took an admin day, mailed payments, did the interviews, responded to queries, etc. Got some writing in there, but I am typing on the normal keyboard and my fingers are not liking it.

Not Much Going On
We are still working on Hugh and Elara’s book. There is battling. So much battling. Planning of the battling. Describing the preparations to the battling. Executing the actual battling. Scrapping the battling due to it devolving into clinical account of the battling. Starting over. More battling. Some heads being loped off. Work work work. Workitty.

Doctor Visits and Book Updates

Your Annual Reminder

On Tiles, Surprising Appearance of
I’m a fan of peel and stick tiles. We have an unfinished edge just under our bar area and I peeled and stuck some really cool marble-looking tiles there, so now if you sit on the couch, you can’t see the ugliness. Gordon liked it so much, he suggested we do more as a backsplash.
