It’s called “I was tired yesterday and forgot to post.” Today’s treading involved turfing Jemma the tortie off so that I could get my steps in. She was astounded when the deck started to move slowly and deposited her on the floor at the end.

Yes, it was slow. No, she wasn’t hurt at all, merely boggled. She proceeded to jump onto the pedal sewing machine to watch me sweat while Ramón unboxed a monitor that he’s hoping to hook up to his BBC Micro (he collects old computers and the treadmill is in the dining room, as is the pedal sewing machine. Don’t ask).

In writing news, I made headway on King of Blades and officially moved into the three figure mark for book sales this month, which is a nice return to 2017 levels. Now if I can just keep that up or bump it up even more, that would be faboo.

Oh, also, amusing moment with Ramón tonight — a few weeks ago he started watching a SyFy show about futuristic bounty hunters called Killjoys, which he thought I’d like to watch because of the snappy dialogue and the kickass female lead. And lo, I do find myself enjoying the snappy dialoogue and said kickass female lead, but it’s the hot silver fox quasi-villain who really caught my attention. I do appreciate a morally dubious character with the right amount of grey in his hair and a set of smokin’ blue eyes.
