The Good Stuff:
- NaNo is off to a decent start.
- Tales from Bethlehem has been published and I'm awaiting the copies I ordered. The signed bookplates arrived today (Thank you!).
- San Antonio yard is mowed and edged. Should be last mow for the year. I hope.
- Early voting accomplished.
- Yuengling Black and Tans delivered to Twitter friend, and we enjoyed meeting him and his wife in person.
- Hubby wants a mobile picture frame that he can view photos of lanterns, car parts, etc. on. As he's describing what he wants, I realize an iPad Mini with a Bento database will provide the results he wants. But he doesn't want an iPad, and whatever he gets has to allow him to swap SD cards of pictures that he's going to painstakingly embed the text he wants into the .jpg image (can you begin to imagine the sheer laboriousness of that effort?) so it will display on the screen. He's looking at a Samsung Galaxy Tab, which will probably do the job, but it's not quiiite what he wants. I'd love to put this search out of my mind and ignore him, but then I still have to listen to him whine and moan about how "nobody makes what I want." *Runs screaming from the room.*
- Plumbing. In San Antonio house. Is a mess and getting worse. Sigh. Thankfully, the toilet, washer, and kitchen sink still work. For now.
- I plan a trip to San Antonio specifically so plumbing work can get done, and we don't do any of it. Things don't go as hubby plans, and it seems to short-circuit his brain. My suggestions won't work for whatever reason, so I just do what I do and wait. Then he says he didn't want to interrupt me from what I was doing as a reason why we didn't get something done. I think I'm a convenient excuse to blame for any reason he wants or needs to procrastinate on a task. Tediousness. Just mildly frustrated. Pay me no mind.
- Continue NaNo story. I'm thinking this could be an interactive story or one story told from multiple viewpoints. It's beginning to get tricky. I did back off the six first person POV approach and have changed to one first person with five thirds (whew!). I may wind up doing a lot of experimentation in the draft (what else is NaNo for?).
- Trim, edge, and mow Central TX house and store property.
- Make what I guess amounts to a procrastination to do list and begin knocking off items on the list. Nothing on the list that takes more than five minutes to do, and just "get 'em done"! Which, technically, is 95% of the items on my Today list in Things. I guess I don't have to procrastinate on making the list. It's right there.

Thank you, Jean! Let me know when you get your copy. I'm curious if the hurricane slows down delivery. I know a lady by the same of Sandy, and she's been getting a lot of teasing.
Sorry you're having a frustrated time. If you lived closer, we could get together and share a drink or four. :)
I am living on my 20 list these days. It's the only way I'm getting anything done.
Rooting for you!
{{huggs}} on most of it, especially your frustrations.
Part of me wants to ask how plumbing mess can get worse, but having lived through several remodels I already know the answer.
More {{huggs}} and I'm glad nano is going well. :)
