Back to work today after a week's vacation.
Can you sense the excitement in my voice? Yeah, didn't think so. *grin*
On the plus side, I did manage to get quite a bit of writing done yesterday. It felt great. I've reached the halfway point of my novel and I'm excited to keep going on it.
Can you believe it's August already? Where did 2006 go? Not that I'm complaining that we're moving closer to the autumn months because let's face it - this summer has been an absolute scorcher, in more ways than one. A wildfire in western Nebraska has threatened my college town where I received my undergrad. Absolutely scary. My brother lives two hours away and he says you can smell the smoke when you walk outside. The heat and drought have not helped at all. This area is part of the Nebraska Pine Ridge - absolutely beautiful country. And this fire is just wreaking devastation.
Yeah, I'm ready for cooler temps and some moisture. Anyone else looking forward to autumn?

All right. Enough with the down-in-the dumps posts. I realized that I had way too many of them in the past few weeks and I am bumming myself...
Come here to BC, Melissa - it's a crisp 14ºC here this morning (somewhere in the 50s F) and going no higher than about 20 C if we're lucky *g*. Though it's supposed to warm up a bit by the weekend.
ReplyDeleteGlad you got some good writing done :-)
And yeah, it's hard to believe it's August already. But I never look forward to autumn. I LOVE summer.
Sepetmber 5th is the day I'm living for now. I don't think I even need to say why that date is significant LOL
ReplyDeleteHmmmm, September 5 - gee, must be the day the kids go back to school. LOL
ReplyDeleteI've said it before, I'll say it again - I.hate.summer. I have 4 signs of Autumn and one is about to start: 1)School is back in session; 2)The Fall issue of TV guide hits the stands; 3)NFL begins; 4)the Texas State Fair. Not that I'm counting things down you know. *gg*
