Morning.
Our plans for today got pushed back until tomorrow. Skywise's schedule got changed at the last minute (yes, they can do that) and he goes in early today rather than late. Which means, he'll be leaving in about 2 hours and I won't be up so late. It's a trade off.
I need tea.

Been doing more thinking than writing this morning/afternoon but that's good. I'm getting some stuff figured out.

I'm also "figuring out" some other "stuff" that has come out. As usual, the Powers That Be tell ya that you need to do something but don't tell you exactly what, how or to whom if any! So, I'm trying to sort that out.

I've also been doing some design work and I ordered the stuff I need from Fire Mountain Gems and Beads to make it up. I got one item that I don't "need" at the moment but it could be useful later and I simply could NOT pass up the Greek Key design on it! I also found something else after I'd submitted my order but as I will be needing more beads for one of my belly dance outfits, I'll just order it when I order the beads.  Gotta LOVE assortable pricing!  Smiley

I've just about gotten the "what IS that stuff?" question answered. Still working on the details and deciding how gruesome or not to make them. I'll probably start writing again tomorrow since I have the bones figured out I can start typing and see where the words lead me.
Right now, time to eat!


Post made at 11:11 pm. 1111 is rubbing off on me!

Skywise is home and I'm heading out. They changed his schedule for the rest of the week so we have some "readjusting" of the sleep schedules to do.

Everyone sleep well and be safe. Smiley Smiley

*Yawn* Morning, I'm here long enough to check in as we have errands this morning. 
Be back later.

Well, it IS later! Been really busy today with uninteresting stuff that doesn't need posting about. I'm now going downstairs to work out. Smiley I'm getting a hankering to make another dance costume so I think I know what I'll be doing this winter while I'm trying to puzzle out a writing situation!  Right now though, time to hit the mat!

Smiley Afternoon! We're home! It was payday so of course, there was much dashing from place to place. The Wal-Mart is being remodeled and the energy of the place is confused/chaotic and the mood of the customers is confused/POed. NOT a good place for us to be! I was glad to be out of there.
Now I have a ton of stuff to put away but I'm gonna catch my breath first!
And get my tea...
Later.

I'm sick of the sound of heavy machinery.
A jackass on Jensen Road bought land without first finding out if it had water. It doesn't so now he's having a water line put in that runs from the main on the opposite side of the road, under the road and through the woods to his house. FORTUNATELY, they are putting it along a long abandoned road that formed the northern boundary of this property when my parents bought it. Mom sold a section off that end about forty years ago so it isn't cutting through our land, just close enough that the noise is a nuisance. Of course, the jackass "says" he loves the country but Skywise is willing to bet his entire retirement fund that he won't last five years out here. A few icy/snowy winters and he'll be begging to sell.
And we won't even discuss the problems that nice long water line running through the woods is going to cause him and probably the water company too....

Making headway. I've got the "stuff" corralled and I know why it was made. I've also decided how Our Heroine's daughters get involved in the investigation. Things are going well....

FINALLY found the information I needed on how to "enter and clear" a room. Now all I need to do is write the scene.  Smiley Everyone in the room is already dead but the characters going in don't know that. But before I get into that, I'll probably have to make dinner. Thank goodness it's simple tonight.

Dinner's over. IMing with Nike and still thinking about what my characters are going to find in the previously mentioned room. Dead bodies, that much I know. It's the "how" and "who" that I have to decide now. Conveniently discovered research notes will ease the plot along. I want it hard but not impossibly so... Smiley

Heading out. STILL mulling over the best way to go with the story. Oh well, I'll keep mulling until it jells. Meanwhile, I'm falling asleep here.

So, everyone sleep well and be safe. Smiley Smiley

Busy day getting ready to go to the fair along with all the usual stuff. I got my Fire Mountain Gems order so I fixed my favorite necklace. I also got some beautiful little links that are going to be made into the prototype of the bracelet Our Hero gives Our Heroine to symbolize their handfasting. (I gotta know what it looks like before I can describe it, after all!) I'm gonna need some more stuff for that project but I haven't decided exactly what yet so I'm holding off. DEFINITELY gonna need a lot of 6/0 beads for the new bra and belt set I'm planning. Plus a white cabochon big enough to choke a horse! But that's for later.

We're back from the Fair.  Smiley
I am exhausted. Need tea desperately. Not only to cool off but because the caffeine content of my blood is unacceptably low.

The caffeine levels are beginning to reach an acceptable level. I also washed the sunscreen off my face and that has helped with the "burning eyes" thing.
Been trying to find music in the public domain to which the lyrics of a song that will be sung in Book 3 can be put. Knowing fans -- and believe me I "know" fans! -- if I don't supply words and music for this song, someone else will write it for me and since I have rather specific ideas about this piece and what it should say, I'm gonna be writing the lyrics myself. And again, because I know fans, the music has to be in the public domain because it WILL be performed, hopefully often, at SF conventions from one side of the continent to the other.
So, I search for music. I'd like something that runs 4 to 5 minutes that can be sung by a soloist with or without a choral backup but I don't know if I'll find something that long or not.
Ah well.. back to work as soon as I get more tea...

Too much to think about right now. Need to process but my head is spinning, not TOO fast thankfully or I'd be flying off in all directions.
What does it mean for me and mine?
What am I anyway?
More information may be forthcoming tomorrow, I'll have to see but for the moment, spinning head and a million questions but only a few that really matter....

Morning! Slept in this morning and just got up.  Yesterday was fun but boy was I tired! Now I need some tea, some breakfast and to see what's going on!

Bits and pieces of the lyrics I need are coming to me and I'm writing them down as they present themselves. I'm going to fix myself something to eat and then get busy on some of the "housewife" stuff I need to do while keeping a word doc or three open on the desktop...
Later.

Been doing the "housewife" stuff as well as some writing. Also designing a new dance outfit. I have some beautiful white and silver embroidered trim that is giving me ideas. I want to do floorwork in this outfit so I'm gonna have to keep that in mind while I'm thinking about the design for the belt.
Right now though, I gotta start thinking about dinner.
Later.

The dough is rising and I've sent out a couple of friend requests on facebook. Going to have to be more "social" in preparation/practice for when I'm promoting the books.
Need to check the dough.
I SO need a cook!
