THE DAY<\/p>\n
My goodness, it’s late.<\/p>\n
I’ll make this short and sweet. \u00a0I think I mentioned last time–five days ago!<\/em>–that I’d be out of town for a long weekend. \u00a0I was; it was nice and thanks for asking. \u00a0I did manage to get a few hours’ work done on Friday, but that was it until today. \u00a0I also didn’t keep a GREAT count, but I know I made a lot of words before I left (one day was about 3700) and then a solid 2000 that one Friday. \u00a0So I’ll guesstimate.<\/p>\n I also know that I\u00a0struggled\u00a0<\/em>for\u00a0days\u00a0<\/em>to find the right way to end this one section. \u00a0DAYS.<\/em> \u00a0Today, even.<\/p>\n As always, coming back after a long break, I’m grumpy and moving only in fits and starts and looking at this book and wondering why I\u00a0ever\u00a0<\/em>thought it was a good idea. \u00a0Grumped at the husband, who grumped back. :<P<\/p>\n WRITING OUT LOUD Day 1: 1000 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Day 23-26: 9450 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Day 51-52: 4500 Blog Post: 400 <\/em>What I’m Reading: THE DAY My goodness, it’s late.

\nWhat I’m Watching:
\nOn the insistence of a Whoian, I’m back at the beginning of the reboot. \u00a0Just finished the plastic people thing. \u00a0Silly, and this\u00a0Doctor doesn’t do anything for me. \u00a0I really can see what a kid’s show this was\/is, though it’s strange that when\u00a0Who\u00a0<\/em>is good, it’s very good.
\nAlso started the third season of\u00a0Peaky Blinders. \u00a0<\/em>I’m. . . only kind of meh. \u00a0It’s been so long, I’ve forgotten the thread of the story, though. \u00a0I mean, I pretty much get it, but a few references, I’m like . . .\u00a0wuh?

\nRead a short novella by Jo Nesbo,\u00a0Blood on Snow. \u00a0<\/em>It was okay. \u00a0Started\u00a0Devil in a Blue Dress\u00a0<\/em>just because I’ve never read Mosley, and also sampled\u00a0Tripwire<\/em> by Child. \u00a0I don’t know how this Reacher snuck by me last year unless I simply decided I’d had it with the series. \u00a0This book opens in Reacher’s past, though, which is promising. \u00a0Lately, the character’s felt stale, and the situations have been contrived.
