Unbelievable – March 17th in Ontario and we’re
enjoying early summer weather! St
Patrick's Day celebrants might be downing their green ale outside today – shorts seem
to be in order. Grass is
turning green, bulbs are up and trees are budding – but I’m not taking my snow
tires off just yet. Love having windows open and a gentle spring breeze flowing through the house.
Writing update – Pam and I have submitted our 30 page
evaluation of Body Perfect to Bloody Words.
The next item on our to do list – finish editing the final draft of Body
Perfect before the April 30 deadline for a contest submission to Poisoned Pen Press. We both
agree that we are dangerously close to not wanting to read any more of this
story so we must really push to get it done.
Most of the pushing needs to be done from my keyboard as I continue with
the tidying up of the manuscript. Its a
challenge for me during the week; recent demands at work have left me feeling
pretty exhausted at day’s end. But with
no winning lottery ticket in sight, there’s nothing for it but to suck it up
and soldier on.
Enjoyed a lovely lunch with my daughter Christine earlier
today – nice to have an afternoon with her.
She is in the process of moving to a new apartment and I got a tour of
the location she is about to call home.
She will be farther away from me, but closer to her work, which is a
blessing for her.
Tomorrow afternoon will be a family celebration of March birthdays.
Grandsons Michael and Noah marked their 9th and 5th
birthdays respectively earlier this month and my daughter in law’s birthday was
on the 12th. And as Pam
mentioned tomorrow is mine.
*****Phone rang while I was writing – tomorrow’s festivities
are now being postponed until next Sunday – poor Noah is down with strep throat
and big brother Michael is showing signs of it developing. Poor guys..that’s a miserable infection – I hope
the antibiotics will do their job in record time.
So I guess now I will take advantage of unexpected free time
tomorrow for revising. Pam and I are
scheduled to have a day together on Saturday the 24th so it would go
great to have as much done as possible..even dare I hope it could be
completed? Keep your fingers crossed.
Happy St Patrick’s Day - May your day be touched by a bit of
Irish luck, brightened by a song in your heart, and warmed by the smiles of the
people you love.
Cheers!
Liz
