	Prayers sent, sorry about your cousin RT! What the DOLPHIN CHATTER??? Yeah, I'd be getting new locks ASAP too, because that is dangerous to allow someone to do that!!

	Thank you VE, it means alot. There has actually been alot of weird things happening around the village there the past couple months. There was even a stabbing last week in the trailer court! It's not the safe, sleepy hamlet from my childhood anymore.

There was nothing between us and the outside but old fashioned wooden screen doors that we locked with hooks and eyes. Those days are gone out here too..

	I've been working on getting all my belly dance notes in one word document and editing it up pretty. I'm also working on dinner. Life is peaceful, quiet and good.

	Morning everyone. Hubby is working until noon today so I'm going to be attacking #7 again today... I'm going to see if I can continue on from where I left off in Chapter 12 in the main manuscript to see if I can start to bridge the gap between that part and where the file I completed yesterday will be spliced in. If I can't move along in that area, I'll work on what I call the "middle third" of the story (the MMG file), which is the part that comes right AFTER what I finished yesterday. After that I'll be running errands so I'm not sure what time I'll be getting back online after I'm done writing. It will be sometime this afternoon, I know that much. I'm around for another hour or so. Time to finish getting caught up!

	I'm heading offline now to see if I can get a page or two written up in #7, hopefully in the gap between where I left off in C12 and where the MCEWCA file will be spliced in!! I'll be back later this afternoon... Have a great Friday everyone!

	Morning! I've been here for a while but I've been buzzing around the house and haven't had an opportunity to post. We're going into town for a late lunch later and a little "pre-weekend" shopping. Skywise doesn't know yet if he'll have to work tomorrow so we're counting this as our last day of vacation. The Track on Sunday is definitely ON though!

	I got back from town about 20 minutes ago and it is CRAZY up there!! The one bridge had traffic backed up on it from the west side of the river right across the bridge and up to the intersection on the other side, which is PAST the mall parking lot!! Of course, I wound up getting stuck in it because my bank happens to be right beside the bridge... SHOOT ME!!! I did get my shopping out of the way and yes, I got strawberries again... I HAVE to have some else I get hateful!! I also got a lot done this morning... Not as much as I would have gotten done if I had an entire day to write, but it's still a lot... Chapter 12 is DONE and I have another file spliced in!!!!! I'll explain in greater detail in a blog. I'm here for a few hours, until about 6 or 7 my time then Son will be getting the computer while I veg with Miss Fluffo. Time to get caught up. Thank the stars for SODA, it is HOT out there right now!!!

	I'm back too. We went to town, had lunch and I picked up a "touch up" brush, fabric for harem pants, some hardware for the wardrobe and various odds and ends. If Skywise ends up working tomorrow, I'll have plenty to do to keep the mopes at bay!

He's going back in tonight from 8-close, 3-12 tomorrow and Saturday then 9-3 on Victoria Day, which is Monday. By the way this weekend marks the official start to the summer season here in NS...

	I'm not sure about tomorrow's schedule. We'll do our usual Saturday stuff and there is a special event in town that we might go to. It's free and we might spend a couple of hours there.

	About an hour ago, I did the math. It takes seven days for the primer I'll be using on the wardrobe to cure. It takes a minimum of six hours between coats of the paint I'll be using to make said wardrobe a glorious shade of black. Letting that cure for 24 or more hours is good idea. I want to do a "test" piece before I start slapping primer and paint on the wardrobe. Conclusion: It will take 8 or 9 days to complete the "test." Then, if all has gone well with that, it will take an equal amount of time to do each piece of the wardrobe that I'm going to paint. Which means that if everything goes PERFECTLY it will be two and a half weeks, minimum before I can start to assemble the wardrobe. Therefore, I got the test piece ready and it is currently primed and drying up at the Guest House. I'll be working on the makeup table while I'm running the test and, after that, painting the wardrobe. It's gonna be crowded in the Guest House work area but I should be done painting the makeup table by the time I need to start putting primer on the wardrobe pieces. I hope......

	I'm gonna have to keep busy, that is for sure! It "will" give me plenty of time to finish the makeup table and fine tune the alterations (minor) that I'll be making the wardrobe but yeah, "bonkers" might be in my future.

	Well, I just 86ed over SIX pages worth of stuff from Chapter 8, stuff that was not relevant to the story. It was stuff related to something I was going to use later on in the story, but the more I thought about it, the less it seemed logical to do.. So I took it out. Chapter 8 is a HECK of a lot shorter than it should be... So I may wind up moving that to either the end of Chapter 7 or the beginning of what is now Chapter 9... Looks like I'm back to only 11 chapters in the main manuscript folks. You write, you learn. At least that crap is out of the story now. I'm going to be here but editing, Son is still playing video games and wants to stay up REALLY late tonight so I'm good for now... Until he yells something about wanting to go to bed.

	I think I have everything related to that bit out, I think the rest of it is smoothed out now and I've made changes to the chapter breaks. I'm now at the end of Chapter 11 instead of 12 and what remained of Chapter 8 was combined with Chapter 9. I went from 98 pages in the main manuscript file down to 92. I took out a LOT of garbage!!

	"Taking out the trash" is part of the job. The Gods know I had enough assorted "trash" to take out of my books! Some of the original posters could not write their way out of a wet paper bag and it showed. Glaringly....

	Morning! Hubby let me sleep in so I'm only getting in now. Penthesilea wrote on May 19^th, 2012 at 2:01am: "Taking out the trash" is part of the job.

I remember you telling me about that! People who can't write their way out of a wet paper bag have NO business trying to write at all in my opinion... I think I managed to get all of the stuff out and the rest of it fixed. I'll have to do a more complete edit, etc when I have more time to do it and when Son isn't here. It's the first full day of the long weekend... Son is home but Hubby works tonight. I'm around until sometime in the mid to late afternoon.

	And I am here. I don't know if we'll be heading out again or not. Skywise's allergies are kicking his behind and he's not feeling all that fabulous today so we could just hang around here the feline persons.

	Allergies stink. Son and Hubby have been sneezing like crazy over the last while too, Son is so bad his voice is VERY hoarse. I am sooooooooooooooooooo dreading the pine pollen which will be out in a couple of weeks, all three of us really get bad when that's in full swing!

	His nose is making him miserable. My eyes are burning.. And both the girls are sneezing and going through tissues like we owned controlling interest in Procter & Gamble! Hopefully, we will be doing better tomorrow since we ARE going to The Track!
