It's November Already

             And it’s been that way for nearly a week now, but my last blog here was still in October. In the meantime, Election Day has occurred. I’m not really going to talk about it here despite mentioning it but the time leading up to it was certainly unnerving at times. And now? Well, I’ve written about superstitions, and superstitious me is keeping my fingers crossed that all goes well. Now, let’s get away from politics and move on. 

            To what? Writing, of course. And yes, the story I’m currently writing has been moving along. My way of writing has remained somewhat different since I got my new desktop computer. I used to print everything out daily and edit both on paper and on the computer screen. Now, I’m still using a different printer since my old one is also broken, so I don’t print as much. That means my edits are all on the computer screen, and that seems to be working fine.

             And my new computer is still outside my office—partly because I don’t want my younger pup Roxie to visit me in the office with its clutter when I’m not watching her. She’ll get into everything! And I do want her to remain able to hang out with me.

             Hey, along with Election Day, Halloween is over. Looking forward to Thanksgiving soon! How about you?

Good morning -- This week is flying by -- I totally forgot to check for your post on Wednesday.

Yes, the election is over and I am not the least bit happy with what happened, but life goes on and I plan to keep a positive attitude.

You mentioned your pup getting into things in your office -- my daughter, since she was a very young girl, has kept papers and a pen next to her bed so she could jot down thoughts that occurred to her. Our little dog, Janny, would sometimes get the papers and scatter them around. Then it was almost like she thought "oh my, what did I do" and she'd come down the hallway, walking as close to the wall as possible, smiling and wiggling, as if to say "how can you be mad at me -- I'm so cute."

I've been doing my usual crocheting -- finishing blankets to donate and working on Christmas gifts.

The weather has definitely cooled -- it was only 49 this morning. And it poured rain a few days ago -- much needed. News was showing terrible fires in Ventura County -- big houses being destroyed.

Enjoy your day, your writing and your dogs.

Glad to hear from you!

My pup Roxie likes to get into everything and usually eat things, and she has a bad tummy sometimes which makes things worse. Your dog Janny sounds adorable!

It's not too cold here--nothing like what you're experiencing. And we could certainly use some rain here in LA, including to help put that fire out.

Hope you're enjoying your days and your crocheting!

Overall, I'm very happy the week is over. Along with the nerve-wracking election I had some other issues that are resolving so I'm happy to concentrate on fun things like the holidays, crocheting, and reading. Hope you have a wonderful weekend.

I like to edit from hard copies, too.
