09:31:08: Yest. aft. while I was gone, cattle broke into garden--made mess but didn't get into the raised beds. Life in the country--nothing happens!
10:14:53: Five days to release of Oath of Fealty. Jitters. Several new posts up at http://www.paksworld.com/blog/

Flitting by...
I'm off to College Station early in the morning and will be gone all day (obviously) and not home until afternoon Saturday.
The cattle got loose again today (not ours--neighbor's) and were in someone else's back yard, happily grazing. But it doesn't take long for half a dozen cattle to graze out one yard, and then they go somewhere else. One of this bunch is a nice big muscular polled Angus bull...not what you want to find out your back door, or--as yesterday--wandering around what you...

23:31:46: Fancy recording studio--wow. Choir music: Bach, Schubert, Bruckner, Mendelssohn and more. Yum. Long, busy day. Bed now.

07:15:58: Storms & rain overnight, clear dawn. SO glad the farrier came yesterday. Boyz locked in the barn lot for the day, though.
07:26:07: Heading out for brief look at land before work & phone interview. Need silence/beauty.
09:35:23: Evil Girl Scout "thin mints" ambushed me just now...I can't eat just one.
09:36:38: 80acres: one Mexican plum blooming, others about to, lots of birds including migrants, lots of running water and mud.
19:29:50: Family disagreement on how to build trellis...

08:30:50: Today the farrier comes to prune hooves. Today it's raining.
08:33:21: Were horses ready to come quietly into their respective stalls for breakfast? They know...and it's so much faster if they do...but no.
08:35:05: Too many televised awards shows using up time that might be entertaining (at least the potential.) Didn't watch; never do. Boring.
10:59:17: Farrier came; horses both trimmed. Mac was difficult; Illusion was too good. Always worry when he's too good.
11:02:44: Sent...

Very busy days
The pre-book-release crush of chores and things has really sped up, and the birthday weekend added to it. I need to a) finish a synopsis for one editor, b) finish revisions for another editor, c) write a blog post (two separate) for each editor, c) have horses ready for farrier by midmorning today, d) go to regional transportation focus group meeting in late afternoon (which means finding out where the city hall in that town is before then,) e) get M- to class (means leaving here before 6...

17:38:27: So the choir surprised me with singing, a cake, flowers, and cards. Did not imagine this.
17:39:11: Came home, started cooking, company arrived, we talked and ate, and ate and talked some more. Lovely birthday!
19:09:10: Del Rey posted chapter one of OATH OF FEALTY; now I've posted chapter two at http://www.paksworld.com/excerpt-oathfealty.html

10:28:11: A sick cockroach woke me up way before dawn, scuttling around bedroom in disorganized way. Can't sleep. Now tired. Bleh.
17:40:30: Friends came up--we walked land, saw birds, ate, had cake & ice cream, chatted, watched more birds. Perfect birthday party.
18:27:32: Seen today: full-bloom of plum thicket, early bloom of Mexican plums, lots of mud, lots of birds, and more rain in forecast.
21:24:06: Can't get photos to upload to 80 acres blog. GRUMP.
21:28:04: Guess I'll have to look...

09:35:46: Sheer delight: special hot chocolate made by husband...yum.
16:08:59: Revisions going well so far. As usual, "little" changes make more changes necessary...
23:23:03: Have to write synopsis of Book 2. Erk. "Starts at end of Book 1 and continues until start of Book 3" probably not cutting it.
23:27:12: Five new tasks for the coming week landed on me today. That week was already busy. Now it's insane.

11:04:43: Interesting post and discussion about advances: http://jimhines.livejournal.com/495326.html
21:41:46: Long day--had to nap in AM after short night--then work, then long walk, then ice-skates to city for M-, visit friends, drive back home.
21:42:37: Scary to find in BBQ place 50 miles from home that you don't have your wallet. Lost is now found (on kitchen table!) Whew!
21:43:21: Autistic son M- proud of himself because he gave a short speech in his "Transition to College" class...
