I was just going to post and then realized it's not Sunday until tomorrow. I've been either a day behind or a day early this week.

We went to the pool on Thursday and that messed up my notion of time. We used to go on Saturdays before the pandemic, and I had a hard time remembering it was not this time. It is incredible how "structured" our brains are.
Part of my issue is that I took yesterday off, so it felt like Saturday. Maybe because of that, I thought today was Sunday.
It’s officially Sunday…I checked- twice :)I’m in Fairview Connecticut and my friend’s brother is missing. He asked me for help because, as a high schooler, I’m obviously your go to crime solver.
I am somewhere in Montana and have been kidnapped and am being held hostage. I am not sure why but it might have something to do with my dad.
Boy, it's been Sunday for two days! LOL!I'm in Cleres and have just instructed the crow that where there's a way out, there's a way in. Could be smelly!
I'm also in some university town in the US where a dozen people have been murdered in one day. Phew, talk about overkill.

I'm in Ohio and in the Sierra Nevada foothills where I rescued seven puppies from drowning. My father is currently making my life miserable. I'm also somewhere in the wilderness near Cold Creek Highway in British Columbia. My sister has been murdered and her girlfriend has vanished into the mountains. I'm trying to figure out exactly what happened.
I'm hoping to leave both of these places later today and move on to new locations. I'm looking forward to heading to California’s Pacific Crest Trail where campers have been murdered and New York (after waking up in a Los Angles hospital from a drunk driving accident I caused). We'll see how much traveling I can do in one day.

Better than 2 mondays.
My eyes are talking to strangers.My ears are in a fantasy land where lots are going on all over the place. I am currently hoping that the woman who binded my will will die before she makes me save her.... drat... here i come to the rescue.
I am camped along side a river in the woods in Wisconsin, waiting for morning. My friend and I are getting ready to run the rapids in her canoe. We are trying to catch up with her son and his friend. They are on a raft on the same river.
I'm in London, sometimes in the present trying to deal with my cheating husband and sometimes in the 1791 mixing poison potions for women to use on their cheating men. Fun times.
I have left Ohio and the Sierra Nevada foothills behind and moved on to the Pacific Crest Trail where some campers have been murdered. I will not be leaving British Columbia today, so I will head to the LA hospital and New York following my accident in the next day or two.

I'm somewhere in space, trying to get home with a frozen body but the captain of the spaceship isn't having any of it. These chaptains! Sheesh!I'm also going to be in Stockholm today where we're going to hopefully solve a cold case.
I am in a small town in Newfoundland waiting for the weather to clear to get to a small village in Newfoundland. I am a survivor of a brutal attack and hoping to impress my superiors at RCMP so that I can keep my job. I am investigating bones washed up on a beach.
I'm a slave on a US plantation, trying to solve the murder of a free black woman who was dear to me.
I have arrived in Paris after receiving word that my twin sister has been murdered. Her boyfriend let me into her apartment and while looking around, I see a note on a whiteboard written in our secret language. It says: ALIVE. TRUST NO ONE.
I am all over the place today. I'm going to start my day in Los Angeles where there has been chaos around my final girl support group and someone has died. From there, I will likely move on to New York where I'm reconnecting with my family after being injured in an accident while driving drunk.
Later today I will go to somewhere in the US where I will visit my late wife in the cemetery and meet a teenage girl who is spending time there avoiding school. I'm sure my nosy neighbor will get involved.
Then, later tonight, I will head back to Mount Hood where a horrible noise has killed most everyone around. My sister and I barely survived, but I think she may never hear again and she's having trouble facing what happened. I hope I can keep her alive.
I'm in Takamatsu fortress, being surrounded by enemy. I've sent letters to my lord for back up but ke kept telling me he couldn't yet send a big number of army and now our communication is cut. If thing goes wrong here, I think I'll teleport to another universe.
I am in Los Angelos at a nursing home and I'm surrounded by my family when the long lost love of my life just walked in to my room. The last time I saw her was in Austria in 1939 during German-occupied Austria when she left to mail a letter to her Mom.I am also by the coast in late August in the US. I am reclining on a lounge chair on my balcony on my 8 acre estate in my bathing suit watching the sail of husband's boat in the far distance.
I am in Cornwall trying to bluff my way through getting part of an inheritance that I was mistakenly(?) offered... I may be in over my head
My ears are in Rome of 1CE. I am a cook for the wealthy, infamous gourmet Marcus Gavin’s Apicius.My eyes are on the western front in WWI. I am a young German soldier waiting at the train station to go on my first leave. I am worried about leaving my friends behind. Will they still be alive when I get back?
Later this afternoon, my eyes will take me to Lyme Regis, England, to my new home with my two unmarried sisters.
I've visited LA and NY and now I'm heading to the cemetery. (I don't really want to leave NY, but my RL book club is tomorrow night and I haven't started the book yet, so off to the cemetery I go!)
I'm in Milan, Italy. My parents are trying to keep me safe by enlisting in the German army. That's kind of an oxymoron, don't you think?Also later today, I will head to Atlanta, but the magic was down yesterday and I didn't get around to opening my book.
I am in a small cove in the Pacific Northwest trying to reconnect with life after caring for my parents. I have become something of a recluse.I am also in California on the beach with an older woman who lives in her van. My life has fallen apart. I am not happy. I want my life back.
I'm trying to run a holiday resort at a lake in the town of Sproing. Sproingers are very cute 😍 but I'm not sure quite what they are.
After finally finishing some other books I needed to get to, I'm finally getting back to Mount Hood where a horrible noise has killed most everyone around. Part of the time I've joined a team of scientists to find out what is going on and the other part I'm a teenager trying to keep my little sister alive. Later I'll be heading to somewhere in the US where I am a hired hitman working my "last job."
I have been in London all day, working with my drug squad team to catch a drug lord and bust up his drug lab. We finally succeeded in capturing him. It would have been a very satisfying end but now, I must decide to either turn a blind eye at a theft of money from the crime scene or report the person and leave the force. On a happy note, my wife just gave birth to twins! I have a son and a daughter.
I'm in Atlanta fighting monsters. And I'm also in California fighting Scott Joplin's ghost. There's a lot of fighting going on.
I am snowed in at an out of the way hotel in Pennsylvania. It is an old elegant hotel, yet something is strange. What are all these whispering, voices and laughs behind doors of empty rooms?
I am finally back in Barcelona! It has been such a long time since I last visited!Peggy - good luck finding fossils in Lyme Regis. I may visit you later today.
I was in Chicago this morning, but now I've gone back in time and I'm in Lublin. Life is very distressing.
I'm traveling in the US. I was set up to take the fall for an assassination and now there is a bounty on my head that is higher than what I was supposed to be paid. I'm going to find out why and get some payback.
I am in Savannah investigating a possible vampire attack.I am also in the borderlands outside of Bath, England trying to find a piece of a plague map.
I am even in Arizona investigating a murder as a Navajo policewoman.
I am very busy today!
I'm in a fantasy city making counterfeit money. I don't think I get to spend any.I will also be headed into space for a new adventure.
I’m on Blackburn Island. I went home because my father died and they found my twin brother’s bones in his plot when they went to dig it up to bury him.
I spent the morning in Sweden but I'm done now. I'll go back soon. Now I'm in New York looking for a murderer.
I'm a fresher at Trinity College dublin. I live on a dairy farm and everyone here raving about the vegan lifestyle. It's like a recruitment drive!
