The whiny story of slogging through writing my first novel.

Rain And A Day Off
Wednesday was the worst rain and flooding I've ever seen in Bloomington, and I've lived here more than 30 years. People still talk about the snow of '78. Now they'll talk about the flood of '08. Thursday morning I woke up feeling horrible, so I stayed home, laid on the couch and slept a lot and messed with my new laptop. The only bad thing about new computers is how much you have to set everything the way you like it, and load the software you generally use. I put Casino Empire on and fired it up. It's a goofy little game that normally takes about a minute and a half to load on the old laptop. It shows a line of showgirls and runs "funny" witticisms along the bottom while it's loading. Yesterday it loaded so fast I literally blinked and missed it. I tried typing on chapter twelve, but that made my head hurt worse. Didn't even watch tv or a movie.

Pity -- I know how much you look forward to those showgirls! When you're sick admit it and take care of yourself (or so someone keeps barking in my ear as I cough up a lung). How can the body manufacture so much useless phlegm?
Yuck. I hope you're feeling better this morning. You're right...I miss the showgirls. ;-)
