I've been writing on Demon Connection this week, since the kidlet is in 1/2 day bible camp this week. So far, I've written 3884 words. Not as much as I would have liked, but better than last week.
Demon Connection total word count: 12,364 words. Goal: 90,000 words
Pool update: Hubster opened a can of 'whoop-ass' on them. The pool still looks like milk, but at least they are making steps to fix the problem. They still have not admitted to fault--and we have numerous websites that state 'no more than 5 lbs of soda ash' at a time--they had us put in 50 lbs. Ten times the appropriate amount and they still don't think they did anything wrong?? Will keep you updated, but I suspect it will be two weeks before we can use the pool again.
95 degree sunny weather + no pool = suck-o-rama.
Maggie the puppy: I need to post more puppy pictures. Our puppy is just under four months of age and weighs 40 lbs. I keep telling people she's 'fluffy, not fat', which is true. Old English Sheepdogs have the softest, fluffiest coats around. The puppers has been sleeping a lot and today I noticed that she's already lost four incisors. The vet said she'd lose the vicious canines last--Yee-ouch! *sshhh!* we've had a week without an 'accident'. She still doesn't bark on command, but has figured out how to 'train' us. :-)
Watering system: Last month I finally got the one thing that I wanted when we moved into this house fifteen years ago--an automatic watering system. Now, it was just in the front, but the good news is we are having our backyard destroyed to put the pipes in! YAY! Hopefully they will get started within two weeks as they have other jobs lined up. If it is the same crew as it was for the front yard, I'll be very happy as they exceeded our expectations with their work ethic.
Since we won't be swimming this weekend, I guess we'll have to go to the movies! We saw DESPICABLE ME last Friday--it was wonderful!. The kidlet and I are planning to see THE LAST AIRBENDER today, after church camp. And the family will go to THE SORCERER'S APPRENTICE on Friday.
I should be able to write at least 2000 words Wednesday and Thursday, but Friday camp gets out early so I'll shoot for 2000 though I don't know if I'll make it, but I'll do my darndest to hit my count.
Write on!
Except for the pool, it sounds like a great summer. And you're making great progress on the Demon Connection. :)
ReplyDeleteFour months and 40 pounds?? Wow. How much will she weigh full-grown?
ReplyDeleteWe took some of our puppers in for checkups. Our littlest one, Olivia, weighs only two pounds less than our biggest one. We call Shadow Ponyboy because he's so tall, but he's awfully lean. Liv is small and solid muscle and weighs 72 pounds. No wonder she can drag me all over creation!
Pool people came out, added crap to pool--will have to wait for the stuff to get caught in filter, then probably repeat again and again.
ReplyDeleteA full grown female OES weighs around 80 lbs--that's what Katie weighed. They don't look like they are that big because of all the fluffy fur. :-)
ReplyDeleteWe've started training Maggie to get the paper and the mail. She does a good job, except when she gets side-tracked. :-)
"Suck-o-rama?"
