Time to check in and then must feed the dogs.

They keep looking at me and licking their lips. Both are on diets, per our veterinarian, and they don't like it any more than I like being on one. The writing has gone well. Thus far, I've penned 4,011 words today, bringing my total to 6,063 for the first two days. And the story just got really interesting. While doing all this writing, I managed to finish cleaning the house and watch Team USA pull out a squeaker of a victory over an excellent and aggressive English team. My frustration with VAR also grew several degrees. Not so much for the calls, but for the delays it causes. Tomorrow Norway plays Sweden. Go Norway. I may or may not do some more writing before calling it a night. Depends on what time the missus gets home and we have supper. For now, I'm going to clear my notifications and then go chill in front of the TV for a bit. PS: the photo is of a future Women's World Cup star courtesy of Pixabay.

When we had two indoor cats, the vet told us one needed to go on a diet. Yeah, that didn't work out well.

We watched the tennis at Wimbledon last night. There are some Aussies playing and one of them, a younger, highly- talented but really obnoxious player, got thoroughly beaten, which pleased me. I doubt it will change his attitude though.

He must be one of those athletes who mistakes being good at sports for being important.

@JudyEv Your description of him puts me in mind of John McEnroe.

@DWDavis Unfortunately he's made enough money now that I don't think he really cares if he wins or not. He's a disgrace to tennis.

Thank you. On an unrelated note, my dad is doing better and has put on some weight. Thank you for your prayers.

I've tried that diet several times over the years. I always enjoy it, but never lose the weight I want.

I'm used to being busy teaching all day. Summer gives me a chance to write. My wife likes that it gives me a chance to be a house husband. I told her I'd be glad to quit my job and be a full-time house husband who writes, or a full-time writer who also does housework, her choice.

Sounds like a very productive day! Makes me want to get to writing my comic book scripts. I am so excited to get started on those.

Congrats on the Muse visiting you. My largest dog is on a weight loss dog food and she sure is hungry a lot- tries stealing our other dog's chow. She had both knees replaced so she must NOT be a fatty like her human.

Our 11-year-old Brittany is the one who the vet was more concerned about. She is slowing down some and not burning those calories like she used to.

It sounds like you've been more productive than I have been. I spent two and a half hours waiting at the DMV for my daughter. Dropped off a couple of costumes at a theatre in town. Did a couple of loads of laundry and made dinner for my family.

Are the lines always that long at the DMV or was it because it's the first of the month and everyone is trying to renew?
