Screenplay Started; Work; Garden and Watering; Tidbits

It’s a wonderful Saturday here in south central Texas. It’s a bit warm, 84° at present. We do have some humidity. That’s just south Texas in June though. It is not too bad out, but some hot days are coming.

I did start my screenplay last night. I am over 10% of the way to making the 20,000 word mark. I will have to write more than that to finish my story though. It’s a good, cute little story that I think has some great potential. I will write this first very rough draft and we can go from there.

I went to work for a bit this morning. I have not done that in quite a while. We don’t have the volume of work that we used to, but we do have work. My boss had left early yesterday and did not tell my much so I had to do a few things on my own. I can do that. I have the ability to take charge if I have to. I don’t always have the go ahead. We all have to be Alexander Haig every now and then. I just wanted to make sure my guys working we doing OK. I hate to send them out and then not take care of them. So that’s what I did this morning.

I have been in the garden a bit watering and fooling with my plants. We did not have any rain this week so I decided to water today. I am going to give the whole garden a good soaking. It needs that. I have my plants doing pretty well. They are not all doing well so I will keep up this watering schedule as long as I need to. I want to at least have my garden hang on through the brutal summer months so it can pick up again in the fall.

My wife, niece and a couple of the niece’s little friends are at Fiesta Texas today. They are having a great time I am sure. They will be worn out when they get home, but it will have been worth it.

The niece leaves for Mississippi tomorrow. She is going to stay all summer. My wife needs the break, big time. She needs time to recover and get back on track. The niece must think my wife is a nail because all she does is hammer her. Going back to Mississippi is not the best thing for the girl, but we are not going to stand in the way of her spending time with her mother. She needs to do this and we will allow it.

That’s all I have time for. I need to write a few other things and then move on to some more productive stuff. I am having a great Saturday and I know it will continue. More later!!
