Did I have a perfect day? Well, it’s not over yet, but let
me see what it has been like so far.
It’s been raining for
hours so it’s getting to the standing water stage but before it was that bad I
had decided to check my blood pressure. That’s the little gauge that decides
for me whether I should go for a walk or not. Yup, the numbers were creeping up
again. Not into the dangerous zone, fortunately, but nevertheless: excuse the
old dried out term, prevention is better than cure.
My daughter
graciously offered the use of her umbrella and even though getting a little wet
has never bothered me, I accepted. I called my good ole buddy, Kasa. She wasn’t
bouncing all over with enthusiasm like the day we went to the park in the city so was more manageable. Off we
went. Wasn’t long before that trusty umbrella was blown inside out and had to
be hurriedly put away. Wasn’t long either before my running shoes were letting
my socks get soggy, but hey you can’t walk in boots can you? I made it to the
intersection and back, wet feet and all. Was it a perfect day, so far?
It was a
mighty fine day to be editing the sequel to Two Mother’s, Twin Daughters. www.marilynshistoricalnovels.com
I don’t need to look for any excuse to write but you mean I have to go through
the whole manuscript and find all the times I used the word ‘just’ unnecessarily?
That is not all, what about, ‘really’ and ‘very’, and countless words that end
with ‘fully’? Gulp, or was that a sigh. I thought I was a pretty interesting storyteller but taking out those words is sure
tightening up my yarn. Oops, I better go back and take out that ‘pretty’, also.
I’m working on it folks, but this old girl has a lot more to do before you can
get a peek at the book about Emily and Alice.
Right
now, I’m waiting for hubby to come home. BLT sandwiches is on the menu to
celebrate our own tomatoes ripening, but after that, whoopee, we are
planning to head into town and buy a beautiful blue Volkswagen Tiguan AWD.
2009. Now you wise guys know we aren’t rolling in the bucks because of me being
the author around the place, but, hey, I still think I’m having a perfect day
because I have the peace of God in my heart in spite of the ups and downs of
life. How about you?
