For a Balanced Diet

So after yesterday’s post, I thought I’d better update and share today’s happenings so far – for balance.

The truck did, eventually start. First tried starting it at��a little��past 1 pm and finally turned the engine��over at around 6:30 pm. I then drove��along the verge of the field next door to toss all the wood in the back of the truck over the fence by the furnace.��I managed to empty the bed and was pulling away and a branch from a dead shrub at the fence row was snagged on my mirror – it thwaped loose …

only to spring back and shatter the��driver’s side mirror.

I got out and collected up the few pieces on the grass and then pulled the rest out of the frame. Unsure I had got all of the pieces however, I cut hard to the right and into the field to avoid running over any…

and got stuck in the mud.

Put after putting the truck in over-drive and some careful rocking, I managed to make a turn across the field back onto the verge and back into my drive way.

The truck��was good the entire rest of the trip, into the city, even though we made three separate stops each for over an hour.

This afternoon, my wife had an appointment in town. Truck started as per usual and – so far- has gotten her to all the errands she was running.

I got a good writing session in this morning, with over 1600 word in the fifth novel ‘Backstabbers & Believers’. Finished up a section, connecting it to some previously written scenes. I can move forward now and an maybe even start allowing thought of the sixth novel to bubble. Okay – better not push it.

I also got the edited forward back from my editor, and after making one tiny change returned it. I think ARCs are coming soon (Advance Reader Copies).

Also, I got an email from a reviewer turned fan (in India) – I had mailed her a��single page, cut to fit inside ‘Tomorrow Wendell’ and signed by me. She has received it and was grateful – that put a smile on my face.

So all in all things have worked out not too bad. Of course, this is me, and my life so I will admit it — I’m really half expecting the other show to drop. I hope it waits for a couple months (but no where near the Ad Astra Convention)
