Edged up to 84.7K, but the ending was (is)a bigger mess than I thought. Plus I came across a sex scene that didn't serve any purpose whatever, other than being sex, so it had to go. I got most of it pasted into other scenes where the parts seem to be happy enough. I guess. But then I realized that portions of the ending made no sense whatever, particularly the big "surprise" at the end. Which seemed stupid and contrived to me. I just got working on it now and made some progress, but it's too late at night to continue, because this is going to take some work. Simple. Keep it simple. I keep telling myself that, but I keep making things way more complicated than they should be.

The good news is that I have this week off the day job. It's not a vacation because I can't afford a vacation, but I have family matters that require my attendance. So, I'll get to attend to that and then sit at the library in the morning and work while I'm playing chauffeur. My sister's taking my son to see Shrek2 on Tuesday, so I'll get to work all Tues. afternoon, too. However, this has been a stressful day for reasons I won't mention here. I engaged in avoidance behavior and cleaned my room.
