A slight delay, and some irritation

     Well, I was hoping to get my second book up this weekend, but it looks like it won't happen.  Reason:  I'm trying to buy a car.  The money for formatting and a cover photo will most likely go towards a vehicle inspection.  As long as it's for a good cause, right?
     Speaking of vehicle inspections, I was supposed to have one.  Of course, the owner didn't show up with the car.  Sat at the mechanic's for thirty minutes before running some errands.  The car still wasn't there an hour later, so I decided to go home.  Tried to call the owner of the car, but he's not answering his phone.  Nice.  I guess that's what happens when you end up dealing with guys around twenty.  Oh well, moving on.
     Getting seriously impatient about a guitar I bought last fall.  The headstock was completely broken off when I bought it, but it was a total steal and the only way I could afford a Les Paul.  It's Epiphone, but still, a Les Paul is a Les Paul.  So, finally having the money to fix it (thanks dad), I dropped it off with a repair guy.  That was over three weeks ago.  The headstock is back on, and the stain he put on the neck to cover the funky spots is drying.  The jack is broken, though.  After he gets everything fixed, he'll do a full setup for me.  Crossing my fingers that it will be done soon.  I really want it back.
     I think that's it for the day.  I'll let you know when I get my book formatted, but it's all dependent on cars right now.  Thanks for reading, whoever may be out there.  :)

Scheduling ...

     I need to do it.  There always seems to be too many things I need to do, so, of course, I don't get any of them done.  But I'm working on it.  So, yes, it's been too long since my last post ... again.  Sorry 'bout that.
     Mom had been gone for the weekend, so my dog has slipped into a puddle of despondency.  Poor thing.  He lays down at the top of the stairs, waiting for her to come home and looking completely pathetic.  Right now he's on the bed, but still looking pathetic.  He's been extra goofy and excited when I come home the last couple of nights.  Redirecting that energy, ya know.  I know that, when she finally does get home, he's going to completely freak out and be a menace.  Just as long as I'm not in his way.
     My nephew has become a fan of the tenth anniversary performance of Les Miserable.  A big fan.  Huge might be an even more appropriate word.  He's watched it about six times in the last two days.  And he's six.  Yeah.  He really is the weirdest, most interesting, and eclectic kid I've ever met.  He knows more words to Raconteurs songs than my sister does.
     Next week will (hopefully) be an interesting one in my attempt at being a successful writer.  I have another book that's almost ready for upload to Amazon.  Just needs one last read.  I have a picture that I want to use for the cover.  Just waiting to get paid at my regular job so that I'll have money for formatting and the right to use the photo.  Crossing fingers for an upload next weekend.  Oh wait, it's Sunday, isn't it?  Why do I think it's Saturday?  I guess that would be an upload this weekend.  This coming weekend?  Whatever.  In about a week.
     Well, that's about it for now.  Just one last thing:  if you haven't check out The Black Keys new album El Camino, do it now.  It's awesome.  Watch this; you'll love it.
