Small talk

My mini-van is finally fixed. This might sound like a small thing, but to someone who drives two hundred miles a week, having her favorite vehicle in working order is a good feeling. It wasn't cheap, but it was less expensive than making car payments.

I finally bought the fancy paper to send Sing out. I know I was supposed to have done it already, but I've been sick and getting to the store that carries it wasn't simple. It will go to the post office tomorrow or Friday, depending on our schedule. Good grief high quality bond is expensive (8.00 for fifty sheets!). All I wanted was good paper, but I wound up with "good" envelopes too. I guess the rejection letter will be returned in style.

The last of the editing for Troubled Waters was done today. Now I can move forward with the end.


The picture to the right is Theo in his favorite vehicle. The basket he's in is usually full of dog toys and leashes, but when the dogs have emptied it out, the cats play hide and seek in it. A few weeks ago, Joseph snagged a leash on the straw when he was pulling it out from under Theo and discovered by accident that Theo liked to go for rides. So he tied the leash to it and now every so often Theo will jump in and wait for someone to drag him around in it. Have I mentioned that Theo is an adrenaline freak? It's not hard to picture him with a helmet on is it?

Can anybody recommend a good book? I'm up for a new one and I have a little extra cash I can spend at Amazon.
