Hey Folks,
Rolled out a little before 3. I checked email and played on Facebook for about a half-hour, during which I was able to rouse considerable ire with a personal request of the person currently occupying the White House.
Then, coffee in hand, cigar clenched firmly between teeth, I started working on the edit. I finished it around 8:45, then ran a final spell check in the track-changes version. Then I save it with another file name, incorporated all the changes and deleted all the comments, and sent both copies to the client. Woohoo!
I know I won’t have anymore edits coming for awhile, so it’s back to the writing and full steam ahead.
For now, my grandson and I are headed to the store as soon as he gets back from his walk. As for the rest of today, who knows.
Well, about a half-hour after we got back from the store and got things put away, I caught a chill and started shivering like a wild dog passing razorblades.
I’m sure it’s nothing but a result of doing roughly 110 mph for the past week or so in a 10 mph body. (grin) So I’m off for the rest of the day.
