At Home in Packers Country

I know, I know. Where have I been all day? Not here, is obvious. So, what have I been doing with my day? As usual, I was up before 3 AM, left by 4:30, and arrived at the Y at 4:40 AM. I was in the pool shortly after 5, and in the fitness center by 6:35. I did 45 leg presses at 60 pound pressure, and 7 minutes on the elliptical. So, added a minute. Then it was Wal-Mart to get eggs, I get the 5 doz. box, those don't break, some tp, and an Elvis movie bundle - 5 movies in one, including Roustabout, so now I can watch the movie I thought I had seen, but realized I haven't. Home to work on Thread of Evidence. I was hoping to start the publishing process this weekend, but that's on hold. My son won't start working on the map until Friday. I have less than 200 pages to read through and edit. It's going well. The yawns started, so it was a nap, though this time a power nap of 45 minutes. Up, took care of tonight's writing assignment for Writer's Guild, then off to my son's to do laundry. I'm now home, and have 2.5 hours to get notifications finished before I need to leave for Writer's Guild. My words for this month's writing assignment were: shlep, klutz, and bluff. I didn't have a clue how I was going to use those words in a 100 word paragraph, so I ended up taking liberties. Here's my offering this month. “You know what you are, Charlie Brown. You’re a shlep,” said Lucy. “A shlep? What’s a shlep?” said Charlie Brown. “A shlep is a drag. You’re a drag, Charlie Brown, a real loser. A klutz, just look at that kite. You can’t even get it off the ground,” said Lucy. Charlie Brown looked at Linus. “Am I a shlep, Linus?” “I don’t think so, Charlie Brown. What you need to do is show her you can fly that kite.” “Ha, ha, ha, you couldn’t even bluff your way into making me believe you could fly that kite,” said Lucy. Total word count 99. So, that's been my day, with what's still to come. How was your day? Thanks for reading.
