Bed is made for sleep.

Hare - Fare (paying to get there)

You know things are bad when it starts pouring rain right as you pull into the parking lot.

Quote by verbal
I actually have to drive across town to deliver proof to the IRS that I paid them.

😲Apparently, the US government's accountants are no better than Canada's. If they received a payment and it was applied to your account, they should be able to see that, which likely means some drip didn't post the cash application or something (yes, I admin an accounting system among other things).

Good afternoon! Some heavy showers this morning but it let up by lunch time and was clearing. I have put in an order on a new set of wheels (don't get too excited, I'm replacing a Honda Civic LX with a newer Civic LX, nothing fancy). Not sure when I will actually get it other than the dealership has already told me the 2022 LX trim is sold out so I'll be getting a 2023 when they come in.

Since she is so readable, is her work on show elsewhere?

You know the place. 😉

Daze - Haze (what i was in before I got my eyes fixed)

Pleasure comes from many things.

Quote by verbal

I battle the IRS on whether I owe them money or not (I already paid you!).

If it makes you feel better, CRA is just as big a PITA as your revenuers. And I say that as the son of someone who worked there for like 30 years (and married a former colleague as his third wife). He was in property appraisal though so only got to make life hellish for people incurring capital gains on property sales or inheritances.

Coffee is perking to perk you up. Tea is a steeping. Iced tea and lemonade are made and in the fridge.

After a cooler day yesterday, things are warming up again here.

Scott, you know my answer to that will always be PUBLISH it! Especially since you already have the formatting part down. You can always pull it back down.

We shall see. With no other writing projects on the go, fixing this up for publication might just be my current writing project. Need to refine my process for creating ePubs, too.

Quote by redwriter
BTW is there any word on the proposed competition collection?

Writergirl had life intervene so the project got cancelled, or at least sidelined. And I know from another site that she's been swamped with work of late.

5473 (ape is having fun, whee!)

Foliage makes the world green.

Lamp - Damp (how I feel on a humid day)

Quote by verbal
I won't mention what it is, but it's very angry, which should give you a clue

Let's see, an American writing for an anthology on a very angry topic. There's a few options there, eh, but perhaps one of the recent ones involving SCOTUS?

Nice day here after a rather muggy Sunday. Cool, sunny, breezy. Too bad I have to work, eh. Working at home this morning so wife can have the wheels, but have to go in this afternoon to do an interview for my still-unfilled vacancy.

As an experiment, I tried putting the three Tana stories together and used that to play with creating an ePub of them, mostly just to experiment with creating ePubs, something I have never done before. There's some editing needed (e.g. since they were published over such a long period, there's some redundancy to keep them standalone) if I want to make this into a novellette or novella but it might be a project to keep my mind active until I get something new going. Not sure I would actually take this one all the way to selling it on Amazon or Smashwords since it is more about me learning the technology, but maybe something I would distribute privately or under a Creative Commons license of some form.

Cool trivia: ePub-formatted ebooks are just html (web pages) with some associated files all zipped up. Of course, if you're selling them, there's additional security built in so it is not just a zipped up website, but for minor format fixes and edits, I can just dust off my HTML coding skills (used to run a church's website).

Coffee is hot and ready. Teas are Earl Grey and Irish Breakfast. Iced tea is in the fridge for those needing something cool. Have a nice one!

Good morning!

Coffee is a Costa Rican Dark Roast. Teas are Red Rose and Cream of Earl Grey. Iced tea and lemonade are in the fridge for those like me facing warm, muggy days.

No special plans today but life has a way of making them for me.

Later, alligators.

5467 (be real good and get to heaven)

So I was watching some good live music today. Two of my favorite bands were at Hellfest in France and the sets were livestreamed. Epica and Nightwish.

Pouring myself a glass of iced tea and kicking back. Definitely summer here.

Laze - Lace (nice trim for clothes or fine tablecloth)

Fill your glass with water.

Whew. Just came in from a long (for me) bike ride (about 20km return). Coffee and hot tea are on for those what want 'em, but I'm drinking iced myself. One pitcher for the fridge, one for me. 😋

Mate - Mace (what she will use if you get too frisky)

Should have a little icon of your head exploding at the end. I think that's how I'd feel. 😋

Gooooood morning (or whatever it is where you are)!!

How's things? Not much happening here. Just me saying naughty words at computers. Which is in my job description. Really, it is. 😋

5455 (five for fifty-five, not an impressive win record)

Popped corn is tasty buttered.

Quote by verbal

Done.

Cool. Good luck on the next pass. Hope it is not one of the ones where you go back and realize chapters 4-8 need a total rewrite or something.

Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood Morning!

Coffee is black and strong. Tea is tastier but still packing some punch. Iced tea is fresh and ready. It has cooled off here but only for today, supposed to be hot and muggy this weekend.

Fees sometimes help pay employees.

Dale - Date (stepping out, with my baby...)

You know things are bad when your office AC is going to be fixed on the day you are planning to work from home. 😨
