There's always a reason to procrastinate.  Yesterday, I finally dragged up my "best" novel  onto the computer and took a look at it after all this time.  It is a good, exciting story, but I know it needs help from a professional writer or editor.  I only have to finish it, Part II, that is, and send it somewhere. 

The pine we've been burning, that I love for the blazing heat it provides, is running low, and we've got to burn old oak now, that is wet.  It provides a long-lasting, very slow fire compared to the pine, so we are mixing the pine with it as needed to get more heat. 

I'm finally through taking Cipro, the antibiotic that was lately prescribed for me.  I am going to keep the appointment that was made for me at the clinic and I'm not backing down.  I will, however, downplay my symptoms - "Oh, it's nothing, doctor, just a pain in my ear - could even be a tooth problem!"  How's that?  Actually, I do need to find out about this for once and for all. 

I am going to make chop suey today, cutting up a piece of  "on special" top sirloin steak for only $1.19, and will add a pork cutlet, cut up, for only $.77, also "on special."  These will be cooked to tenderness in a water/soy sauce mix, with chopped celery, onions and the usual canned bean sprouts, water chestnuts, pimientos, etc. etc. etc. and served over rice.  Gravy made in the pan at the end. 

I need to vacuum today and dust furniture.  Oh, the dusting, the dusting.  Then there's laundry to be done.  The side of my head hurts, and I have been taking naps in the afternoons lately, but today, I want to clean house for awhile.
