Day 87: I Lost Day 86

Just realized I lost "Day 86: Later That Morning in Lo Tom".  I wrote it in DarkRoom and apparently neglected to copy it over to 1000 Days.  It wasn’t great work.  It didn’t advance the plot over much.  In fact, it sorta tanked, devolving into one of my introspective posts on how I write and how I do it wrong sometimes.  I’m sad it’s gone though.

Briefly it reveled that Nita was waiting for Mr. Bollister.  He was characterized as round and thoughtful.  I revealed that Nita was looking for his heat signature–I didn’t word it that crudely.  I think I made her a vampire.  Once it occurred to me I had, I immediately lighted on the idea that it might be neat if in this world vampires were dependant on normal folks.  Something akin to beggars.  No idea how that might work out.

I suspect in the next day or two I’ll have to take a planned outage.  Tonight I’ll just get away with lame.

Day 69: Pre-PCP

I am anticipating a possible outage tomorrow during the 9th annual Pumpkin Carving Party.  I’ve got many things going on that will make it challenging to sit in front of the computer for any length of time.  Maybe I should set my alarm?

We’ve been planning for a party here.  Thus far I’ve bought $200 dollars worth of food and still have to cook it and buy beer.  I’ve half made a train costume for Halloween and need to get that done or be kicked out of “World’s Best Dad” club.  Cleaned the house .  Cleaned the office.  GOt the car in the garage.

I need to mow, sweep, and decide not to do a spiderweb this year–again.  Probably ought to shave.  I need to wrap presents for the birthday party the next day and maybe I have to get a card, but she’s one so I am not sure on the protocol there.

Hopefully, today will wrap up nicely at work and I’ll be done by mid-afternoon.
