▪ The numbers
My friend Robert will be coming in early today, so we’re going to meet for breakfast. Then he’ll follow me to the house where we’ll spend the day visiting. It should be a great time.
Late this afternoon, we’ll head out to the desert to take some sunset photos of saguaro cacti. Then he’ll leave in the morning for the rest of his trip.

Sometime yesterday I did something (apparently) to my left shoulder. I don’t recall doing anything to it, but I get a lot of pain when I lift it. Interesting but weird.
Between Robert’s visit and my shoulder “injury” I probably won’t get a lot of writing done today, but that’s all right.

Rolled out at 3:30 and hurried to the Hovel. I wrote the stuff above, found a few itesm for “Of Interest,” then started on the novel.
It’s important not to break routine, so I cycled through what I wrote yesterday first, then started adding new words.
A good-enough day overall. Around 7 I’ll need to get ready to go meet Robert. Have I said how much I’m looking forward to our visit? (grin)
Talk with you again tomorrow.

While I’m thinking of it, on PWW you can’t add a like to someone’s comment. If there’s a like there already and I tap it, it subtracts the like that’s there, not adds to it. I bring it up because I just read the Manual killzone post you linked to and I could add to the likes there. Sorry to add technology issues…
And thanks for the great “of interests” in addition to your great insights.
Thanks, Karen. I’ll look into the PWW issue. I haven’t had any problems adding Likes.
