It's been cool here lately. It was up in the 100's then it dropped to the mid 70's. I like the 70's. Life is more bearable in the 70's. It won't stay there, though. This is only the beginning of July. We have the rest of the month and all of August to get through. Holy heatwave, Batman.
The writing is going well. I've revised quite a bit, though I still don't think I'm telling the whole story yet. I've started on a new project because there are days that I just can't bear to look at the old story even one more time. That feeling passes eventually and I go back to it and revise some more.
The new story is my first try at first person/present tense. It isn't going well. I write a chapter or two then go back and look at what I've written. After the first two or three sentences I find I've fallen back into third/past. That means seeking out all those pesky little verbs and changing them. Believe me, we use way more verbs than we think we do. I'm beginning to hate the little buggers.
Mom is doing well. The heat was really starting to wear her down but these last few days of cool weather have helped her recover some of her energy.
School is almost done for the summer. I have two extra point projects to finish for my English class and one final left to take. I'm ready for it to be done. My brain is starting to seize up at the oddest moments. This is not a good thing when you're figuring the commissions for the sales people at work and you suddenly can't remember how to use the calculator, or you're driving home and you suddenly can't remember where you're going, or if you're on the toilet and you can't remember if you've wiped or not. Don't laugh folks, I'm sure it's happened somewhere. heehee
So that's it. Now you've had a glimpse into the mess that is me, go on with your life and enjoy your sanity. Just remember, if in doubt, wipe again.
Oh Polly, Polly - what a last sentence :-)
