I've been busy being useful in various ways today.  Did some more cleaning/moving/arranging in the basement so I can dance/exercise down there. I have the second rug almost laid. I still have to move some stuff to get the last 12 - 18 inches of it on the floor but I've cleared enough space to lay out my pilates mat so it can flatten out, have room for my exercise bike and "should" have enough room to start dancing. I still have to get the recyclables ready to go out in the morning and I'm STILL waiting for Spirit to tell me what we're having for dinner! If she wants chicken, she's out of luck! All I have is frozen solid!

Skywise told me about this when I woke up but it has taken me a while to find a news story about it.

Did a lot of "wife stuff" today and not much "writer stuff" but I've gotten my Krav Maga books out and I'm "setting the stage" for the fight. I'll start on the choreography tomorrow. When the fight and its aftermath are done, I'll have Chapter 5 done. A chunk is going to have to go into Chapter 6 and depending on how much, most or all of Chapter 6 could be done too.

I'm a few sentences away from the fight so I'm going to pack it in for the night. I'm yawning WAY too much to write anything coherent!

Everyone sleep well and be safe. Smiley Smiley

Afternoon! We're back from lunch and shopping and settling in with the "To Do!" lists. I'll be in and out as I attempt to get some work done. I'm hoping to get some writing done too today.
Later.

Omm: Nothing worth mentioning. Cognitive functions are NOT at optimum right now. Food WILL help.

The food helped some but I'm still NOT up to standard so the next "fix" to try is sleep. I'm heading out.

Everyone sleep well and be safe. Smiley Smiley

Okay, breakfast is out of the way and I'm working on Chapter 5 which I'm hoping to get done by mid-week. Then I'll start on Chapter 6 which will have the first 16 pages completed once I move the extra pages from Chapter 5 into it. Then I'll only need about 20 to 25 more pages and then it will be done -- while doing all the usual "house stuff" I need to do...
Better get busy!

Had what looked like heavy weather coming in but it fizzled out. We got just enough rain to kick the humidity up a few percentage points...

I didn't get a lot of writing done today. Too much "house" stuff to do. *sigh* Oh well. Tomorrow is another day and it isn't like I have a deadline...
I'm heading out before my cognitive functions crash completely.

Everyone sleep well and be safe.  Smiley Smiley

Morning!
I think it's morning anyway. I really need tea so I think I'll get some and try to wake up. Skywise has the early shift today so he'll leaving in a couple of hours. He has the late shift tomorrow. Tomorrow will be better for the whole "being awake thing, I think.
Tea, Penth.
Later, when I'm alive....

We made a sudden fast trip into town and since we got back, I've been trying to get caught up on some necessary online "housekeeping." I've made a dent in it so I'm cross-eyed but pleased.
Now, I need to take care of some offline stuff! So I'm off again!
Later!

That was fun... NOT!
Storm came through suddenly. We took cover and then had to wait for the satellite to come back which took a while much to Moonie's disgust! She resorted to the dial-up which was working fine. The power also went off just long enough to require everything to be reset.
Now to get caught up.

Dinner is done, thank Hestia! I was starving!
I'm making some headway on Chapter 5, the necessary run up to the fight. Once that's done all I'll have left to do IS the fight.
We might get more storms tonight so the flash drive with the books on it will be coming out of the comp before I turn it. The LAST thing I need is for it to get fried!

Afternoon!
We had some rain in the night but no storms, just quiet, ground soaking rain which we need as the ground although appearing damp, was cracking.
I got my belly dance dvd today finally! I am STILL gonna tear Amazon a new one though. The "track and confirm" number they supplied me with is really a "delivery confirmation" number which can't be used for tracking. Amazon apparently now has a shipping facility in Whitestown which is why my package sat there for 4 days.  Smiley Once the US Postal Service got their hands on it, on the 18th, THEY got it into my hands promptly!
Thinking I'll be ordering my next dance dvds from someone other than Amazon, even if it DOES cost me a little more!
And Moonie's DS Lite is finally on the move. It was shipped out of Dallax, TX last night and since it's Priority Mail, she should have it by the end of the week at the latest. Which is a very good thing because the girl was driving me crazy about "when will it get here?!"

Reviewed my new dvd (Flawless Floorwork) and I love it. Of course, it's gonna be a while before I can use it. My core, especially my legs, are going to need considerable strengthening before I can manage the descents (I WILL master the "Takedown" descent even if it kills me! And it may!) and ascents smoothly. I "might" start practicing some of the actual floor work moves before then. It can't hurt and "could" ease my craving to do relentlessly sexy/sensual floor moves!

Dinner's cooking and with the exception of providing a deceased character with a name, everything in the run up to the big fight scene is done. I "might" add a bit more to what will be the end of the chapter but I'll decide that after I see how long the fight scene is going to run.

We took off as soon as we got up this morning, had to hit the fabric store (no luck with fabric buying but I DID get some beads, some "coins" already sewn onto black twill tape and a really COOL spider pendant that is giving me all kinds of dark and "gothy" ideas. I "may" have to come up with another costume concept to do it justice!
I'm also thinking that I'm going to need to find a large (like maybe 8 x 10 feet large) piece of vinyl roll flooring for my practice area. Certain floor work movements aren't going to be comfortable (maybe not even possible) on carpet and downright hazardous to the skin on concrete! And I'm not ready to install the floor down there yet so a solution has to be found!
And Moonie's DS Lite arrived today so she's happy which means I'M happy!

Skywise is on his way and as soon as the weather settles down a bit more, I'll be going downstairs to do my workout which I "hope" I'll get to complete this time! The dvd isn't going to do me any good if I don't use it!
