Skywise got home about an hour ago and I've been working on the first chapter of Book 2 which is now a page shorter than it was thanks to my tightening up the prose and cutting out the "dead wood." Now, I'm gonna take my tired little self to bed. We will be making a supply run into town first thing so I'll be a bit late.

Everyone sleep well and be safe. Smiley Smiley

Morning.

We did make it down to the beach after all... Son didn't want to go at first but after a LOT of sweet talk and getting him out in the car, then finding a shell, he was fine and we all had a blast. It was foggy, wet, drippy and cooler but it was worth cooling off! It was about 15 (F) cooler down there than it was back here!

I'm going to be around for a bit then I'll be heading up to the DMV to get my license renewed, it expires on our birthday here in Nova Scotia. BLECH. Hopefully the line won't be too long and I'll be home within six hours............... Tongue

Time to get caught up and start getting ready with hair washing/showers and what not...

I'm heading to the DMV now. I'm not sure how long I will be gone but I'll be back when I get home.

Have a great afternoon everyone. Cheesy

Afternoon.

And I am "on duty" now. We went into town to get a few things that I neglected to get the last time we were in town and to have lunch. Now we're back and I'm getting organized.

Found out what it's gonna take to get that wardrobe door ready (again!) to paint. I'll do that tomorrow and it "should" be ready to hang by Saturday or Sunday.

I also found out why rain water keeps getting into the window well despite the gutters not overflowing. When I checked the drain just now I discovered that there was about an inch and a half gap around the metal flashing around the window well. I got out the hose and sure enough, water hitting the ground around the flashing was running straight into the well! [insert foul language!] So I got the shovel, dug out some of the dirt that had been carried into the well plus some extra and piled it around the flashing and then watered it down. I kept adding dirt and water until it stopped flowing in. When I have more time, I'll build it up some more.

We actually have HUMIDITY!
Currently 70% with a temp of 71 degrees. I am perfectly willing to endure the discomfort to have the humidity levels back to near normal. Things won't dry out so dang fast!

Back from the DMV and errands...

The "new" licenses up here have a person's height and eye color listed on them now. According to the license, my eyes are "bro" and my height is... Well, I'm SHORT! Tongue

It is a LOT hotter in town than what it is here... Out here it's about 24 C and in town, 30 C.  Smiley The humidity is HIGH too, we're due to get rain later tomorrow, maybe thundershowers along with it. Roll Eyes

I'm here for the rest of the afternoon between dishes and other things. Now to get caught up again!!!

I'm not too bad at the moment but I'll probably be wonky by 10 tonight.

Time to start chopping some veggies for the pizza............

I've finished going through Chapter 3 and lopped another page off of the page count. Skywise informs me that it is time to quit for the night and since I'm yawning hard enough to strain my jaw, I agree. So I'm heading out for the night.

Everyone sleep well and be safe. Smiley Smiley

Morning.

Hubby let me sleep in this morning. I'm here but not awake yet.

I'll be here for the afternoon unless something changes. We're supposed to get isolated showers today with a chance of thundershowers. JOY OH BLISS.

Time to get caught up and get more coffee in me.

Morning.
I'm here too although as soon as I get caught up, I'm going up to the Guest House to work on the wardrobe door. I'd like to get that project going again and today is the day.

The door is now sanded down as smooth as I'm likely to get it without taking it down to the bare wood. I wiped it down with damp paper towels so it is going to have to dry for quite a while before I paint it so I probably won't get to it before 6 tonight. I'll decide tomorrow if it needs another coat or not. In any event, I "should" be hanging it by Friday afternoon at the latest. THEN I get to start on the other door. At least the weather will be much cooler than it has been and I know what to do to speed things up.

A lot is happening locally right now... Nothing bad but things are really lighting up with my local peeps in FB right now. Shocked

I see a fat kitty laying in a box... Flirty Chubby girl!

Mine are prowling in and out the kitty door.

The rain has perked everything up. The pollen is out and my eyes are feeling icky. I'm going to go close them while I have the chance. Skywise leaves for work in an hour and a half.

Hubby left over an hour ago and I've been bouncing around the net. Things have been quiet now that the locals have settled down.

And I've been ebil in FB again but it can only be seen by certain people...Hehehehe....  Smiley

The note from Tinkerbell. Yeah, I saw that. I'm about ready to pull Book 2 out and get to work. So if I seem to be offline, I've just gotten busy and forgotten to refresh the page.

That's exactly what it was. Heh. I didn't post it publicly because I'd be accused of "causing trouble deliberately", and since I still wanted to share it, I only shared it with a select few people who would think it was funny. Cheesy

Gotcha. I'm still here, playing games in FB and being quiet. But I AM still here. Tongue
