the_rckYesterday, Cordelia spent two hours ice skating with a bunch of other sixth graders. I wasn't clear enough with her about what she was to do with the money I sent with her, so I have to mail a check to one of the parent organizers to pay our share ($5 for skating, $5 for pizza and pop). I'll get that into the mail tomorrow morning.
I absolutely have to wrap my nephew's presents today. It's his birthday today, and I don't want the presents to be any later than they already have to be. Of course, that depends on when Scott can get to the the post office.
Cordelia has put holds on a three books at the library. I'm not sure how she came up with them. I don't think any of her friends suggested them. The books are Anna and the French Kiss (there are about six holds ahead of her on that one), Ruby Red, and Cinder. Both of the latter two should come in today. We'll put off going to the library until they do arrive. She actually read the book I made her select and check out last week, so I'm hopeful that she'll keep checking books out and trying them.
Scott spent several hours yesterday afternoon removing the hood over our stove. We've lived here about seventeen years, and the dratted thing hasn't worked in the least for at least fifteen years. The hood and the duct work it was attached to were bolted to the walls in ways that were very hard to get at. Scott ended up using a crowbar (among numerous other tools). He's put a layer of foil over the bottom of that cupboard because he's not comfortable having naked wood directly over our gas stove. I'm not so worried-- It's a good three feet from the burners to the cupboard.
I'm debating whether I should renew the library books I have due today. I've had them eight weeks already and haven't opened a single one of them. I don't know if I'm going to. I want to; I just can't seem to find the activation energy to start any of them. I will probably renew them. I usually renew twice when I haven't started something. I don't know, though. The books have been sitting on the loveseat for weeks.
I wrote about 1000 words yesterday. I'm still worried that the whole thing is heavily out of character, but at least I'm making progress. The story stands at about 6500 words, and I'm not sure how much longer it will be. It's really a PWP, as much as anything I write is, so it's kind of hard to tell where it should end. I do want to finish today if I possibly can. There isn't much else on today's agenda, but I think it will depend heavily on what Cordelia does-- I don't really want to be writing a PWP while she's in the living room with me.
