Lorna left this morning for another trip up Nawth. Her folks are on the list for a, well, not exactly assisted living. Not sure what to call it, really. Anyway, they are on the list and the place is having an Open House this weekend. Lorna thought it would be nice to see the place. She rented a car, a Honda Civic, because the truck still needs that wheel bearing assembly bought and put on. It was cheaper to rent a car than get the truck fixed. The truck is driveable, just not 1400+ miles highway driving.
So it is just me and the dogs. And cats. We are fostering a cutie-pie 10-mos old puppy. His name is Bodie (odd name, yeah) and he is probably around 80-90 lbs. That’s right. Not even a year yet and he is as big as Joella. He is part shepherd, part some sort of hound, part something else because he has blue eyes. Adorable pup. But an 80 pound pup is a little different than the normal pup. He is such a freakin’ klutz! He and Joella are in love and play constantly. I timed them yesterday – for an HOUR they were either running in and out the back door, wrestling on the floor, or playing King of the Hill on the bed. So if any one is looking for an adorable, um, puppy, let me know.
I keep the current WIP open all the time and I write a paragraph to a page or two every few hours or so. I hope to get a lot done while Lorna is gone.
Speaking of WIPs, we were in the car rental place and the young thang that waited on us became my mental image of Nikki, the main character in BG2. I watched how she moved, how she looked, and how she acted professional, yet, not so much since our mutual gaydars were in hyperdrive. Nikki is much taller than this thang but in my mind, they match. I needed that, you know?
Reminds me of a t-shirt Vada Foster (Vada is the mean twin, Verda is the nice one. :D) had on at the GCLS Conference in Atlanta: Careful, or You’ll End Up in My Novel!
