Joy was sooooo happy to see me tonight coming home after podcasting over at Josh’s. Waggy tails and lots of kisses. Coopey, too, but not as exuberant. Movie was good tonight. It was the first fully Hitchcock movie I think we’ve watched. There’s an argument to be made...

Today was a recuperation day. I was due for one, to be honest. I got 20 pages written yesterday, and I hit the wall today. But, this is a marathon and not a sprint. I’d estimate I have five or six more 20-page days before I finish the damn thing…and I can’t do that...
