Broke through my reluctance and got chapter nine finished. A blast from the past, a rousing nightmare, and another look into Loomis’ headaches for the coming day. Now they have twice the work as they do the normal multitude of chores required to survive and get their new members settled into place.

And Gwen? She’s heard the oddest thing. Loomis has never had a boyfriend. Hmmmm . . . Is there hope for Gwen’s gold digging ways, yet?

I really hope that when I swap over to day shifts permanently, I’ll be able to organize my day properly. Can’t seem to get anything done with any regularity except dishes.

A couple of days ago I wrote about 500 words on Orphan Maker. Deleted them today and rewrote them. Only 500 for the day. But I also got the next round of Tiopa Ki Lakota edits finished today, so it’s not a total bust. Tomorrow will be better.

Got off work yesterday, ready for 5 glorious days off. Got plastered last night while in chat. It was fun, actually; better than a bar! LOL! Not to mention less smoky.

I think I’ll spend the rest of the day watching The 4400 and working on Orphan Maker diagrams. Still have to get the Loomis homestead and floorplan finalized.
