It was a writing day

My word processor said it came to 2770 words. I’m sure they need slicked up, but I can’t complain about something like that.

I spent yesterday, a vacation day, taking care of other chores, but earmarked this one to write. I have two more days at my disposal, but Sundays usually don’t amount to much.

I feel like I could have done more, but fell into some deep research. I can’t send Lizzie to someplace like Hot Springs, Arkansas without bringing in some local color. She spent time in the waters, but was interrupted by a disembodied head. Lizzie never gets a break.

I also had to spend some time coming up with names for racehorses. I tried the Call Annie app, but they were godawful. However, there was the occasional word I sniped, and made up my own. I’ll classify it as moderately helpful.

I decided to add something like a witch convention, but they’re all fake. However, the bad ones are hiding among them and have to be sorted out later. Detlef suggested killing everyone, then calling it a job well done, but Lizzie won’t do that.

All in all, I feel pretty good about it.

We’re probably going to go to a garden center this afternoon. I still need a zucchini for my outdoor pots, or something else fun.

Somewhere along the line, I also need to thin Asian pears and spray for moths. I’ll figure out where that fits in later.

Hope you’re all having a good weekend, and if you have the holiday, I hope it’s a great one.
