I am at my Dad's, house- and dog-sitting while he goes on a motorcycle cruise through Southern California, Arizona, Utah, and Nevada. I am looking forward to a week full of doing a whole lot of nothing.

Well, not actually nothing. I have grand plans for getting a ton of writing done while I am up here all by myself and the Monkey is home in Sac with kiwifruitbat. Also I have several pounds and inches I would like to sacrifice to Dad's Bowflex (which will need to be dusted first. Tsk, tsk, Dad.)

It will be a little weird, though, without Alan around for so long. I've grown accustomed to his face. ;) Not to mention I will have to cook my own food! Oh noes! Looks like those pounds and inches won't be so hard to shed after all, heh. But, I have lost four pounds in the past three weeks. Slower than I would like, but I admit I'm not being as faithful to the menu plan and exercise regimen as I could/should have been. It's nice that half-assing it still provides _some_ results, though.

Also I elected not to bring my own computer up here, so I'm on Dad's. No fiddling with cords and whatnot, and his monitor is, like, half again as big as mine, but he doesn't have Word (he rolls with Notepad, baby. Yeah), so the aforementioned writing will need to be by hand or in Google docs.
