I’ve decided to take a short break from revisions and focus on non-writing accomplishments for the week. Such as:

1. The new dresser! Bought from a nice man in Dunbar. It smells slightly like musty basement, but it’s (so far) flea and bedbug-free. My son is under strict instructions to stop using his dresser drawers as a stepladder to the window.

2. Blueberries! I realize this tiny little bunch doesn’t look to impressive, but between the three bushes we have at least a couple dozen berries ripening and this is the first time since I planted them three years (!!) ago that we’ve gotten fruit. This may have something to do with the new location, and the regular sprinklings of pine needles we’ve given them.

Editing changes, on the other hand, will not be accomplished until Wednesday. If you don’t hear from me by Thursday, please send search and rescue.
