I am home from City Center, and I did finish the Act Two piano part. Tomorrow I will work here on the guitar part and go in on Friday. Thatch and Annabelle both climbed all over me on my arrival, and after the novelty wore off, about five minutes, they went off to pursue other interests.

Futzed and finessed a LOT, and wrote two new pages. Now I have to go do a couple of things, then I'll come back, eat, and write at least eight more pages and see how I feel after that. I'd love to finish the first chapter, but we shall see.

This morning I have sneezed nine times in the last ten minutes. I hope that it is just dust, and not the start of something big.

I am just catching up on some posts and was reading about DR Vixmom's neighbors having their own fireworks. This is something that I cannot even imagine. Here people are not allowed to do their own fireworks. And I am very happy about that. It would be so noisy, but mainly it sounds super dangerous. Here when the cities do fireworks you are not even allowed anywhere near where they are setting them off.

They are illegal here but they are not illegal in several states just south of us, people drive south , buy fireworks and bring them back here

They're now illegal within Tumwater city limits, but I heard some going off on NYE. Fortunately, they weren't too loud or very close, but still damage could've been done!

Big disappointment:

Checking my book sales on Kindle yesterday, I noticed that $129.00 in royalties was owed to me from Japan.

That was interesting, since, as far as I could recall, I'd never sold any books before in Japan. Could this be an accumulation of several years of previously unreported sales?

Unfortunately, no.

The 129.00 was in Yen, which amounts to somewhere around $1.17 in USD.

It is 5:30 am here and I have been awake since 3:00 when a leg cramp woke me. Today we have our longest tour. I hope I stay awake. This tour includes a lot of stairs and is not recommended for the elderly

vixmom, yes we can check and I've sent that e-mail.

Thank you!

It's 5:50 pm, I have come home after work, changed clothes, made a pot of tea, had a long phone call with my mom, and done a load of laundry

4 weeks ago I was still sitting at my desk with a couple of unpaid hours still ahead of me

I am sorry for my constant crowing but I am so happy and thankful I cannot believe my good luck

Speaking of good luck, I finally had a winning mega millions ticket

I decided to invest my winnings

vixmom · « **Reply #77 on:** January 02, 2019, 02:56:55 PM »

All $4 of it

vixmom · « **Reply #78 on:** January 02, 2019, 02:57:13 PM »

I invested in 2 more tickets

vixmom · « **Reply #79 on:** January 02, 2019, 02:57:53 PM »

The first prize ticket was bought about 17 miles from here

No need to apologize for a richly deserved blessing in your life.

May your $4 increase an multiply into the millions, Vixmom.

Work was slow today, which was good.
I got done what I needed to.

I also watched the last hour of Colette and started John Sayles' wonderful, The Secret of Roan Inish. What a sweet story. And the scenes of Ireland make me want to go back there.

Well, this is sad: Daryl Dragon, the ‘Captain’ of ’70s Duo Captain & Tennille, Dies at 76.

Stopped at McDonald's on the way home, since it plays a very tiny role in the new book. I had a Filet o' Fish and a cheeseburger. I think that's really the end of my McDonald's eating for some time.

I wrote few more pages - six thus far. I'll definitely do another four and maybe four beyond that if I'm feeling my oats, but my plan is to finish chapter one, which will probably end up being close to thirty pages.

Hello, everyone.

Jeanne · « **Reply #89 on:** January 02, 2019, 04:26:01 PM »

Sorry about the chair, Jack. I would have waited also. After all, many things sit for months. I do hope you find another one that's even more perfect.
