	Afternoon. It took a while to get moving this morning. All sorts of weird dreams left me feeling groggy and getting brain function online was a challenge. I've been working on my dance costume. While cleaning the basement, I uncovered a supply of costume "coins" and I've been removing the "coins" that I'd put on my current costume so I can put these new coins in their place. Of course, now I'm of two minds. The bra looks pretty cool even without the coinage so I'm thinking that I'll do one side "temporarily" and leave the other side plain. Then model it for Skywise and see what he thinks and go from there.

	I've been putting those coins on while considering what to do about the "stuff" my characters found. I know it has something to do with vampires and/or half vampires but I haven't decided exactly what it is (aside from advanced biotech crawling along the floor!) or how it was supposed to work. Whatever was intended, the stuff is lethal. I just have to sort through the possibilities and decide which one "fits" the best. And I need to start dinner soon...

	Skywise is home, dinner is done and I'm heading out. Everyone sleep well and be safe.

	Morning! Skywise needed the comp this morning so I slept in. He's all done so now it's my turn. After careful consideration last night, it was decided that my bra looks best with coins, so I'll be doing that today. But before I tackle that, I need tea! Later.

	I've finished putting the coins on. YAY! So that little chore is done. Now I'm going to put the wash in the dryer and get dinner going. I'm still thinking about what that "stuff" is and how to work it into my story.

	Heading out. We're taking the car into the shop tomorrow for routine maintenance and we wanna get there before the heat index hits the triple digits again. Everyone sleep well and be safe.

	Morning/Afternoon! We got the car to the shop okay and we "could" pick it up tomorrow but I'm thinking that it might be the weekend or Monday before we get it. It is hotter than hell again today and I am SO glad to be back in the A/C. Air blowing through the van just doesn't get the job done! Now I'm going to catch up on things and get myself a big glass of iced tea 'cause I really NEED it!

	I hate housework but I did manage to get something accomplished in that regard today. Didn't write any but I can't sit at the computer and clean at the same time so.... Still, while doing mindless picking up I did do some thinking so the time wasn't totally wasted. Now I need to be starting dinner in about 15 minutes... sigh No writing tonight, I think!

	Morning. We just got the call that the car is ready at the shop, so we'll be heading out to get it in a bit. Right now, I desperately need tea. Later.

	I got a new Josh Groban album in the mail and I've spent most of the last hour listening to it. It soothes my soul..

	Back working on Chapter 6. I'm still wrestling with this one scene but I figure if I get "something" down on paper now, I can always come back to it later. It IS in Book 3 after all! So I'll do my best and tweak it later! I've selected the "inspirational" music for the "bar dance" that occurs in Book One and I'm listening to that. I also have selected the music for Our Hero's "bachelor party" which will occur in final chapters of Book 3 and is yet to be written. It should be interesting...

	Dinner is nearly ready and we could get a good rain tonight if the storm system holds together. I've finished up the "shootout" scene on a suitable "horror movie" note and I'll pick it up later on at the forensics lab. I figured that Chapter 6 and likely 7 and maybe 8 would be slow going but, as I have to remind myself, this is Book 3 and 1 and 2 have to hit the shelves before 3 will see the light of day. So considering how long it can take to get a book into print, I probably have plenty of time to get it right. Ah. Dinner's ready. Later.

	Morning. We got NO rain out of that storm system last night. It's overcast this morning so I'm hopeful that we'll get something before the day is out. We really need less heat and more rain. Heading out for Saturday morning errands. Catch ya later.

	We're back. No sign of the book I want and no rain yet. So it's off to Amazon I go 'cause I'm NOT going out in the hot and burn gas hunting for it!

	Book is ordered. Hopefully, it will get here soon. I hate waiting for things to arrive although it does make a nice surprise when something I've ordered shows up!

	snark! It's damned annoying when you KNOW you have a book but can't put your hands on it! That text I have on energy constructs probably has the information that I need but I can't FIND the damned thing!

	I'm falling asleep at the keyboard so I'm gonna head out while I can still find the bed! Everyone sleep well, stay cool and be safe!

	Afternoon. I have been up for a while but I've been taking care of some necessary stuff this morning. It's still excessively hot outside so we decided not to go anywhere today, except maybe into town later for a late lunch and maybe pick up a few things at Wal-Mart. It's been over a week and since they aren't tearing the building down and starting over, they "should" be well along with the remodeling! I should get Chapter 6 up on the desktop and see what I can do with it. Later.

	I've made some headway on Chapter 6 and I've split the last half of it off and put it into Chapter 7 and I've decided on the tentative break between 7 and 8. It's looking like Book 3 will probably have about 14 chapters and be about as long as Book 1. The three of them together will probably run close to 2,000 pages in manuscript -- and that's single spaced by the way, like on the page of a novel, the double spaced manuscript, font size 12 in Times New Roman font, it will probably run over 3,000 pages. I can't say for certain since I'm not even sure I've gotten to the halfway point yet. Not knowing how long a book is going to end up being makes it hard to know when you've hit the middle! Time for me to get back to work now. Later.

	I got stuck on Chapter 6 so I quit for the night. I'm pleased that one of the books I ordered (the occult one) is in the clutches of the post office and is making it's way through the system. That means, since it was mailed from Lexington, KY that I'll have it by Wednesday at the latest, barring some bizarre Amazon.com policy. I've got a dvd I want to order next week but I'm going to wait and order it from a vendor other than Amazon. I'll probably get it faster!

	I'm beat and I'm heading out before I fall asleep at the keyboard. Everyone sleep well and be safe.
