Shoulder dragon:
What went before: All righty, then! I have finished reading the page proofs for the Diviner's Bow mass market. I'll work a little later tonight to gather up the (very few) typos and send them along to Baen, so that's outta my hair.
This leaves me with the Top Sekrit Project, and completing the set-up and listings for Civilized Behavior, the November chapbook.
Today, the WIP broke 90,000 words, so that's a thing.
Tomorrow is supposed to see a return to the 80sF, weatherwise. Someone had asked...somewhere, if it had been cool enough today to warrant wearing a hoodie. The answer being that today's "hoodie" is a long-sleeved t-shirt that happens to have a hood. I don't know why these design decisions are taken. I wanted a purple-striped t-shirt, and this one was on sale.
Everybody have a good evening. Stay safe.
I'll see you tomorrow.

So! Monday. Sunny and going to be Actually Warm. It is in fact 80F/27C in my office as of right now.
Got up early and hit the keyboard, wrote +/-1,425 new words. I want to get back to it. Maybe after I finish up the business portion of the day.
The really good news so far on the day (until the mail arrives and I see if my oval hoop was actually delivered, whereupon -- new embroidery hoop!) is that the next door neighbor's tree guy is willing to take my problem trees down while he's doing the work next door. He'll be by tomorrow to take a look IRL, give me quote, and -- fingers crossed! -- the trees will be taken care of in December.
The annoying news on the day is that the company through which I am financing the replacement doors in Steve's office keeps texting me...things. I don't want them texting me. Email. Email is the height of human communication, IMNSHO. Texting is an abomination, though I grant it's useful in an emergency. I also don't want medical entities texting me, but so far I haven't made an impression there, either.
So! Trash and recycling are in the garage ready to be taken up to the curb tomorrow morning. And I have some email to answer, and at least one phone call to make.
Whhoooosssssshhhhh!
What're you doing today?
