How weird is that?
We're pumping into Fall! Yay! It's not so much about pumpkin spice everything, though I do love me some pumpkin spice (especially coffee creamer)! It's more about cooler temperatures, fall leaves, sweatshirts, crockpot cooking, and just nicer days. Oh and Halloween and Thanksgiving.
It's freaking hot here! Like you go outside and immediately have sweat dripping into your eyes. Gross!
We're back to being empty nesters. For now. K4 went back to school last night - got stuck in traffic for an accident for almost an hour - and then got some kind of stomach bug. She missed classes today and was so upset about it. But what do you do when you're up all night puking and still puking when it's time to get ready for your day?
She'll be home this weekend for the holiday and then she doesn't know when she'll be home again. They have lots of campus stuff going on in the next few months and she's excited about it.
So, I have a title for the contracted book! Redemption: Sector One. I'm so excited. It's a dystopian world-thing with a tough as nails heroine and an amazing hero. I'll give you more info when we get closer to release day!
I'm also writing the anthology story! Getting there. Digging the new story. A lot! I'm about a quarter of the way through! And I hope to be done with it by Friday! (It's a short story)
So our weekend plans were helping That Sister put in this super cool bay window in her dining room. That Man's work donated the window to her. Amazing. (like seriously) And we all got together to get it put in for her. I was a supervisor. And cook. And clean up crew. The window is absolutely gorgeous and she cried. (I cried too) We had a lot (a lot) of laughs, great food, great conversation. And B ended up coming home with us overnight so his folks could have some time together. That was absolutely fine. K1 works all of the time and J rarely, if ever, gets a break. We were happy to do that. When we got back home, B and I giggled over silly things for a while before he fell asleep, which was awesome. We haven't done that for a really long time. It's super cool to be "just" a grandparent again!
K3 came over on Sunday and we hung out and laughed and talked. It was great. And then it was too soon to be Monday again.
Today was brutal at the day job. Four call offs. And an insane work load. That Man had dinner started when I got home after buying nine-million dollars worth of pet food since we forgot to buy it last night. Oy!
Okay. That's all I have. It's too hot to stay up any longer.
Behave!
