I'm taking a couple of days off to go to Oregon with my daughter for college registration. (Currently at the motel catching up on my promo before being offline tomorrow.) No writing today...mostly driving...or tomorrow. We'll spend the weekend with my mom, who lives two hours from Ashland. I'll try to get something done while I'm there, or I might go through withdrawals...Jannine Gallanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01047728297429025804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-76243278466835100142017-07-13T17:01:04.462-04:002017-07-13T17:01:04.462-04:00Try to enjoy the break, JL.

Typing on an iPad with one finger is no fun. I'm going to have to break down and buy a new one, not in my budget.

You are so prolific. I'm doing the same, but having no trouble filling the time. Doesn't sound like you are either. I'm not getting anymore reading done than normal. I can't handle more than one hour of tv unless it's a movie. I don't sew and gave up crafting years ago. I might make it more than 10 days though cause of the long needed promo organizing I'm doing. I'm anxious to see what political plots you come up with considering the past year and how it's ripe for someone with your talent, JL.Brenda Whitesidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04162555468154752820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-12948926911477760172017-07-13T08:04:26.400-04:002017-07-13T08:04:26.400-04:00Love your 'elbow-deep' visual.

But your brain needs a break every now and then, so I'm glad you took it! And organizing stuff is another brain-clearing thing. A preparation thing.
