	It's been a long day and Skywise is home. I'm going to pack it in. Everyone sleep well and be safe -- especially those of you in areas where winter has arrived with a bang! Post # 8,450

	Skywise has had the comp this morning. Now he's watching the Colts/Jacksonville game -- so am I, for that matter! Things are shaping up nicely, gamewise. I'm gonna do a few things online and then get to work on the Command Center so I'll be ready to apply stain when the next string of warmish/dry days arrive.

	The last of the slots have been cut, rasped out and fitted to the rails. All that is left to do is to cut the support pieces to size and to cut the pegs [2 inch lengths of 7/8 inch dowel rod] and fit them in their holes and the Command Center will be ready to assemble. I'm going to touch up the sanding, maybe fill in or smooth out a few "dings" and the whole thing will be ready to stain and finish. Again.. Since we will need a few warmish/dry days to do that, we might just assemble it and put it to use until Spring rolls around and then do the staining/finishing.

	I'm a tired little woodworking person and I'm heading out. Remember that the site is scheduled to be down in the morning so no one panic. Everyone sleep well and be safe.

	I've been buzzing around today and let the kids have the computer while I was being useful. And wouldn't you know it, Spirit wants to use the computer again! I will be SOOOO glad when we have a network set up!

	I'm here, finally! Busy, busy day and typical for this time of year. At least the girls have been getting their internet fix so they won't be driving me crazy when it is my turn!

	Skywise has the late shift tonight (I hope that there is no overtime required.) and I'm settling in for a long stint at the Castle. With any luck and inspiration, I could have the monster hunt pretty much wrapped up tonight. I've just about gotten the nonessential cast reduced to a manageable size and laid waste to the necessary countryside. Then double checking to make sure I haven't contradicted myself somewhere -- easy to do when you are writing back to front! -- and I'll be ready to put the posts in. I'll be sure to put a head's up here since the new stuff won't show up on the 30 most recent posts because I'll be taking old text out and putting new text in.

Still to do: kill another unneeded NPC. Have the "final monster battle". And tidy up the loose ends. Also, something about the Lord Marshall in Boot Camp.....

	Observation: Wood rasps are murder on fingernails. Of course, having shorter nails makes typing easier. Fewer incidents of typodemon incursion... sigh I guess I'll just have to go with short nails painted a lovely shade of black.....

	Well, I didn't get as far as I wanted to tonight but I need to think about this next piece of business so I'm going to knock off for the night. It will be a couple of hours before Skywise gets home and I can work on the Command Center while I'm waiting for him. Everyone sleep well and be safe.

	Yawn! Morning! And it actually still is morning! Skywise has the early shift today which means there very likely is a nap in my future! I need considerably more sleep than my beloved and there simply aren't enough hours between when I fell asleep last night and when I woke up this morning! Yes, I've been awake for a couple of hours now -- just not on the computer!

	All righty then!! flexes fingers I've gotten the kink out of my creative process and I know how to accomplish this next bit of gruesome business on the Castle. So I'll be causing untold horror while I'm doing the laundry....

Okay, they've changed the forecast. The snow will be starting sometime tonight. I hope that Skywise gets home before it gets bad. Gotta love Indiana weather. I'm glad we're pretty well stocked up on staples just in case. I don't want to have to get out tomorrow.

	Okay. The last NPC on the "Hit List" is dead and the last stage of the Monster Hunt is underway. I'm probably not going to get it all done tonight -- Skywise has the early shift and I'll be starting dinner directly -- but I'm in the home stretch, thank the Gods! Fingers crossed I hope to have this wrapped up by Monday...

	The "Hunting" part of the Monster Hunt is done! Primary and secondary monsters -- yes, we had a selection of monsters -- have been dispatched with a satisfying amount of property damage and bloodshed, the NPC cast has been thinned a bit and some loose ends tied off so that later posts now make sense. All that remains is a few "set up" scenes and something for Lord Marshall. I shall have to think of something "special" for him.... I will, of course, go into considerably more detail when I write this section up into a novel but that won't be for a while yet.

	Spirit has pulled all of the Christmas decorations out of storage and has them stacked on the sofa. The space normally occupied by the Christmas tree has been prepared. Methinks that tomorrow, we are going to be putting up the tree. Note to self: Get the Mannheim Steamroller Christmas CDs out of the car....

	Well, Skywise got home before the nasty weather started so all is right with the world. I'm a tired little writer person so I'm going to head out. Everyone sleep well and be safe. <---- Spirit loves this little guy. hehehehehe

	Busy, BUSY morning! Skywise's gift to me is sitting in the back of the van. Due the influence of impish deities, we were running late by the time we got home and he didn't have time to wrap it and he's not inclined to hide it in the Guest House, wrap it there and then haul it down here. (It's heavy!) So I'm on my honor not to peek and since I'm an honorable little thing, I will NOT peek and will, instead, try to think of something inspired to get him. I know what he wanted to give me but it wasn't something he could give me right now. Maybe next year.. hehehehe and yes, it's naughty....
