So I’m sure you noticed today’s post was about six hours late. Well, the reason for that was that I spent four hours this morning helping the handyman fix our clogged sink. I didn’t even do that much and it was still among the more disgusting projects I’ve been involved in. I’ll spare you the gory details, but suffice it to say that if I never have to help clean a drain pipe for the rest of my life, I’ll be okay with that.

Not that yesterday was any peach, let me tell you. In addition to having to wash dishes like it was the early 1900s, with a tub in the sink and having to take it outside to empty it, I also had to run to the store and pick out a new faucet for the kitchen. Not a huge deal, but it was one more thing that I wanted to do. Oh, and I almost forgot the kicker. I had just finished my shower when the tenant in my rental house called to say the furnace was out. So I should have bill coming from the HVAC guy.

At least lunch was good. I had french bread pizza with crumbled bacon on top. After that came an episode of MI5.

With all the problems I had to deal with, I only managed 2 pages on the new novel.

Anyway, my shoulders are aching so I’ll end this one quick with an update on preorders. We’re up to 388. I think there’s a real chance we’ll make it to 500 hundred before the book goes live. Thanks everyone.

Talk to you tomorrow.
