Yay friends, and margaritas, and wine, and parties!
What she said!
I was going to go to the beach today, but it turns out to be the one day that is NOT a perfect beach day - cloudy and 70s. WTF? It's 90s and sunny yesterday AND tomorrow!
Where'd they get CAT scan from?... I mean, did they test it on cats? Or does the machine sort of look like a cat?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Seconding the yay! That sounds promising, msbelle.

OK, the weather than makes it Not a Beach Day means that I could actually go for a long walk, possibly to Target. I guess that's a plan.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
The drive was interesting -- North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, and Kentucky are places where people fly the Confederate flag unironically, AND YET we didn't see a single Trump sign. That gives me some hope.
I haven't seen any Trump signs around here, except for a couple defiant little bumperstickers. Granted, I'm in a liberal blue dot on the Virginia map, but even when I head into the rural areas where you'd think Trumpists would be, there are no signs.
Now I want to go drive around and pay attention to it, to make sure I haven't been a victim of selective vision.

I see a fair number of Trump signs. Saw a huge one hanging off an overpass.

After the free Kindle promotion my sales of Cog have flatlined. It's starting to feel like my agent submitting to editors at major publishers all over again; everybody seems to really like it but it never quite catches on. The reviews are fantastic so far.
Right now I'm trying to get it into local school libraries (of the appropriate age group) and line up reviews on blogs. Got four saying they will do reviews, but that will be awhile. That's hard too, lots of blogs that do book reviews, but most don't do any self-published.

Timelies all!
Quiet Sunday here. Soon we will go out for lunch and groceries.

It's also a quiet Sunday here after a busy couple of days. TCG is in charge of parenting at the moment. So, I'm hiding in bed with a book.
