The fun part: my brother came by for a visit. Not the first time I’ve seen him since I moved up here but the first time he’s been in our house.
While that left my work week one day short, I hoped to make it up with good, efficient work. Alas, no. Tuesday, we had work done on the side of the house, where a woodpecker had done a number on the siding. Not only was the drilling jarring, the dogs freaked out — I lost the ability to concentrate.
Wednesday I had to take Trixie in for a dental exam. Turns out she has several bad teeth — it’s a chihuahua thing — which made it pricier, plus a little more unsettling. I hate being reminded our dogs are mortal.
Still, I’d taken the dental appointment into account. I didn’t account for Plushie’s eye acting up, and that I’d have to take him to the dog optometrist. Followed by another appointment today, plus working around the housecleaners.
I did get further on Southern Discomfort‘s final draft and I began my next draft of the Doc Savage book. As I have sections for each year detailing changes in the magazine and developments in the world, I went through and polished those. A small thing but I wanted it out of the way.
I didn’t get anything up at Atomic Junk Shop but I did put a story in The Local Reporter on Carrboro Elementary’s PTA helping buy school supplies.
Overall a disappointing week. But next week, September starts fresh!
