Friday Fun
It’s a wonderful, great, and surely fun Friday. I am ready to get this day over with and to get home and have some fun. That’s what I need and that is what is going to happen. I really love my Fridays. I am surely going to have a great weekend.
Today a buddy of mine will take my wife out to lunch. She hooked him up with a free airline ticket and then helped him with some travel plans. So he will take us out to lunch. That will be nice.
I am up to 15,500 words on my screenplay. I got a little off on my count yesterday in my journal. At any rate I am doing nicely on the whole deal. I need to get up to around 17,ooo words after the weekend. I have more writing to do and that will slow me down on the screenplay a bit. I like the screenplay format. I am going to have to write another when I finish this one. I might do a stage play of some sort. We will see.
Work is going to get a whole lot busier in the next couple of weeks if things hold true to form. We got four jobs just yesterday. So we are looking up. I am ready for that.
We had more rain yesterday. That is always good. It was not much, but it stayed cloudy for a second day in a row. That helps cool it down and then we don’t get all the evaporation of the water.
That’s it. I will post this and move on to other things. I will check in later!!

Thursday Trappings
I was resting really well in my bed last night and this morning when the alarm rang. Yes, the alarm rang! I usually beat the alarm, but not this morning. Then I lay back down and slept more. So I am a bit late, but that’s OK. I can make up the time at some point.
Besides, I get to work at 7 and I can really get there at 8. So I will just be a little later than normal. That will make the day seem shorter if I got to work later.
We had rain all day yesterday. I did not check my rain guage, but we had some very hard rain for a bit and then it got slow and steady. We had lightning, wind, thunder and heavy rain for a bit. My garden surely enjoyed it.
Suzie, on the other hand, did not. Our baby girl was not herself last night. I think she may have been scared of all of the inclement weather. She is fine this morning. She slept well. She must have been stressed out.
I went to a small meeting last night sponsored by the magazine. We looked at a short presentation on identity theft as it relates to some things concerning what we do with our writing. Also, I got another assignment. We need some quick turnaround on this one. It’s just about the Spurs and winning the championship.
I have to go. It’s getting later and I need to get some things done. More later!!

Wednesday Warpath
We are at Hump Day. That is a good deal. I love it as the week goes on. I am ready for the weekend already, but I have to get through a few days of doing some other stuff first. As I always say, by about 3 pm this afternoon I will be able to see some light at the end of the weekly work tunnel.
It’s not going to be cool anytime soon. LOL! We are in that summer pattern and it’s just hot. And somewhat dry. We still need some rain to fall, but at regular intervals. We have had plenty rain already. It needs to continue to fall every now and then. We were so dry for so long it has affected many things long term.
I am up to 13,500 words on my screenplay. I am coming along well. The story is coming along well. It’s cute and fun to write. I am on pace to make the 20,000 word mark and have a great story to boot.
Work is a bit worrisome right now.We are not that busy. We need jobs. And much more than we have been getting. I am sure it will all bust loose before too long. We need some work.
That’s all for now. I will write more later. I need to write a few more things here and then head on to work. More later!!

Tuesday Trappings
We are here at a lovely Tuesday morning in south central Texas. The morning has started out well for me and my babies. My wife is a little shaky this morning. The poor old girl woke up and asked me why I was writing at 1 o’clock in the morning. I informed her it was 4:30! My poor baby lost some sleep. She will be fine. She can sleep another hour and a half or so. She will be OK.
Monday was Ok; for a Monday!! I did a lot at work and I was happy with the day. I wrote a lot. I made sure I had some fun. So, for a Monday, it was just fine.
Today will be even better. I will get to work and do some great things again. I just feel like it’s going to be a great day. We’ll get some new jobs. We’ll begin to get very busy again and then it will be a nice day.
12,500! That’s my word count on my screenplay. It’s coming along nicely also. I really enjoy writing like that. I am going to have to try writing a serious one after this one. I like the format and style to have to do it in. If anyone has any suggestions for a story please let me know.
We have settled into a summer weather pattern now. It will be about 75° this morning with a high in the low 90’s. We have a slight and it’s subject to have a pop up shower at any time.
The tropics have been quiet so far. There has not been much activity. I really feel we are going to have a hurricane in the Gulf this year that comes our way. I just have that feeling. We will see.
That’s it for this morning. I have a great day ahead of me. I am ready to go and get it started. More later!!

MONDAY MAYHEM
Here we are back at another bad Monday. I just hate them. I need another day off. I need to be able to stay home all the time. LOL. I guess I need to continue to work on my writing and little by little it will happen. I just don’t like Monday’s. The feeling of getting to work on Monday morning is not a good one. Sometimes I just sit in my truck not really wanting to go in. But eventually I do and I usually have a pretty good day. That is what I will do today.
My wife’s birthday was Saturday and it was not a good one for her. She got all down and depressed early on Saturday morning about several things; mainly stuff about her family. We went several places and got her some things, but she was not happy. We did go out and eat a nice meal. So it was not that bad a day. Yesterday we had a much nicer time. We went out again and did some fun things.
My wife needs to be happier and she is working on that. She has a plan and is working on it. I think she will do fine and it will all be great in the end. It will involve several remedies and steps, but she is up to it. I think she knows it’s time to move on from some things and begin to live again.
We had rain on Friday and Saturday nights. That was nice. My garden really loved it. I have many tomatoes on my bushes. My butter beans and pole beans are doing nicely. I have tons of hot peppers on my plants. My strawberries are doing nicely. The whole garden is doing great. I am happy and it will continue to grow and prosper. We are getting just enough rain to keep it looking great.
I am up to 11,400 words on my screenplay. That is good. I have to take some time off to write some stuff for the magazine and that put me behind. I figure to get to around 12,000 words by the end of the day. In the four days left this week I want to get to 15,000 words. Over the weekend I will write a thousand and get to 16,000. That will put me at the 24th. For the four days next week I want to get up to at least 18,000 words. That will get me to the 28th. Over the last two days I will need to write 2,000 words. I know I will beat these estimates, but I want to make sure I am at least on track to make the limit even if I have other things to write.
That’s all. I have to go. I have to write other things and then get me and my babies ready for the day. More later!!

Finally Friday; Finally Finished (NBA); Friday Focus
It finally here, Friday. And all the good things that go with it. Mainly it’s the last day of the day and I have the weekend staring at me. I love my weekends. I am ready for it. I am ready to get this day over with and to begin my few days off. It’s my wife’s birthday this week so we have some plans and big happenings to have fun.
Has there ever been a more boring NBA Finals? The last two games were close and were not even exciting. I told everyone that when Cleveland won the East, with LeBron holding the trophy up and wearing the “champions” T-shirt, that they had cashed in their chips. They forgot they had to play another series. This whole deal was woeful. It’s almost embarassing to be a part of the deal. I have not been a big NBA fan, but I am from San Antonio so you want to see your local team do good. These games were just awful. I was a lukewarm fan of the game. Now, I am pretty sure I’ll be no fan of the game.
I sent my last article to the magazine yesterday. Now, it will just be time to get paid in a week or so. I love getting my check. I love the extra money. It shows that I am progressing toward my goal of being a writer. Of course, they wouldn’t have to pay me at all and I’d still write, but it’s nice to know I am being recognized for my work. I will keep it up.
It’s been hot and dry as I mentioned earlier in the week. I watered my garden on Wednesday. If we don’t have any rain I will have to do so again this weekend. The whole garden looks great. I just have to make sure it continues to do as well as it can. I also have to start thinking of a fall garden. That’s next on my list. I will order some seeds and get that started in the next month or so.
It’s time to go. I need to get my day started and get it over with so I can start to have fun. More later!!

Thursday Thoughts
I slept a little longer than normal last night. So I am a bit rushed for time. I will make this fast and furious.
One of our toilets does not flush. Yet, it does not overflow when we flush it. It all happened in the middle of the night so I was not really away, but something is going on. I used the plunger and it did no good. I’ll see how it goes for a bit this morning and then we will see.
Game 4 of the NBA Finals is tonight. How boring is this one going to be? I want to see some excitement in the games. I think we can all remember the days with Magic Johnson and the Lakers playing the Celtics with Larry Bird. That’s what I want to see.
It will be hot again. I can write that until about November now. Ha Ha!!
I’ll send my last article to Miss Fernandez at the magazine this morning. I am having some fun. I hope she likes this one. I am ready to see my work in print.
I have got to go and get ready for work after doing my animal stuff. More later!!
