Cthulhu?

Due to construction going on at work which has deprived us of the electricity needed for the air conditioning, lights, computer, phones, etc., but has supplied us with jack-hammers operating directly in front of the office to remove the concrete steps and entry they redid only a few months ago (they didn't lay it correctly, and water settling on it drains toward the building, rather than away) I am staying home today, to work on my laptop. This will, of course necessitate frequent dips in the pool, and possibly a nap, if it all becomes too much.

On Sunday night I posted the last of Harry & the Pirate IV: The Chalice of St. Francis (and then tweaked it more yesterday morning when I got up). Such a relief to have finished it -- a little over 25,000 words in the last two weeks, and it says pretty much everything I wanted it to say, which is the advantage of having an outline to work from. And writing is so mind consuming that I felt as though I'd really been away for two weeks!

I did a few other things over my break...

And now, I think it's time for a swim! Yay Summer!!
