Good Grief!
My son's soccer tournament last weekend was postponed due to the storms. (We had the chainsaw out so yeah, it stormed) This weekend they're moving all our games because our scheduled field is closed due to storm damage. Now I'm scrambling to cancel hotels, reserve at a new one, find out where we're going when...
And, the copy edits arrived for My Wicked Enemy today. Very light, but I have a few things marked to go over in detail later. Tonight I'm just marking... I have a page of queries to address. I guess not till Monday unless I decide to take the MS with me, which I don't want to do (What if I lose it?) But it seems my big problem is commas, mostly the lack thereof, and hyphenating or not hyphenating words. Seriously, that's 98% of the copy edits.
And I saw the rough image of the cover today. It's pretty awesome, I have to say.
I'm now behind on Xia because last night I went to bed at 7:40pm. I read for a bit, but pooped out before 9:00. Tired girl.
Off to work.

Reporting In
Well, I'm awfully tired these days. I'm trying to get myself into bed with the lights out at an earlier hour, but it's tough to wind down enough. I need to find a way to catch up on the sleep, though. This is nuts.
My sister's dog is lost. He's an elderly Rat Terrior, going grey, mostly deaf, who recently had surgery and needs his stitches out. She was at my brother's house and left him in the back yard, securely fastened in they thought, while they took the kids to McDonald's. But he was gone when they got back, and now he's been missing since Tuesday, which is why I didn't get any work done that day. I went over there to help look. She's had a couple of calls and near-catches by others. It's awful. She's loves her dog dearly, and it's horrible to think of him wandering around. We're all hoping he's found soon.
Yesterday, I got a lot done on Scandal and now I need to go get to more. Off to work.
