Kanda is too smart for his own good. I have rug burn on both my knees and not from any fun reasons. I don't know how Kanda knows when we're traveling (I've even tried putting the suitcase out early and he still knows the exact day). We have a morning ritual. He greets me in the bathroom, follows me to the computer room so I can check my sugar and then to the living room to open the curtains and then to the kitchen to get tea. Today he greeted me then instantly tried to get under my bed (and if he does I can't get him out). I had to dive on that crappy rough carpet to catch him. he then hid in his litter making piteous noises. Now he's zonked out on the seatee in the computer room absolutely loving it.


The drive was good except for my need to drink an ocean of water. My sugar must be high.

And I broke 40k. YAY.

Nano Snippet - The lady draped an arm around Tenaldi's shoulder. "And I must say, Tenaldi, your logical argument this morning won my approval. Well said."

The Lady of Blood and Bone pressed her lips to Tenaldi's cheek and he seemed too afraid to move. Concern knitted itself into Vinca's expression as she senses something wasn't quite right.

With a pat on Tenaldi's back, the Lady turned her attention to Camristy. She leaned against his shoulder, her lips at his ear. "I feel your pain, my son. I will give you a gift." The Lady kissed him too and the shadows blew away in his mind, retreating to the corners.

I hope everyone's day has gone well. I am thankful for friends like you. And I'm thankful that we made it thru the dinner without politics! And doubly thankful for the dual Star Trek & the Simpsons marathons. I am a content woman. I tried to get Mom into a holiday drinking game with me. We're watching the Star Trek Marathon. My plan is this: 1 drink for every time Bones says 'He's dead.' Spock says 'Fascinating' Scotty says 'I canna' Sulu says 'course set' Uhura says 'hailing frequencies' Chekov says something stupid about Russia and two drinks for every time Kirk gets his shirt ripped/removed.

Mostly Mom and Dad had cooked everything a couple days ago and we were just making the turkey today. It came out fantastic. I took a picture but it's upstairs and I am still too full of food to bother lifting my butt off this couch. The Rex Goliath moscata red wine I brought was delicious.

Lucky Uncle and his wife came too. I think she was NOT thankful for me (or Mom). She has arthritis in her spine and literally from 4 pm when she arrived til 8pm when she left that was ALL she talked about (at least it wasn't politics because she's the unfortunately combination of liberal but a big believer in fake news and random bullshit and hurts the cause because she talks nonsense. My other aunt is the same way. It's like you're making us liberals look like idiots....)

BUT My mom has spinal stenosis and spinal arthritis. I have spinal arthritis, two torn hamstrings and a hip in need of replacing. We've both had all the tests and injections she's having right now and we're not constantly milking it. "oh I can't walk (watch her walk that casino or the mall though) and going oh oh oh ow every time she moves. Now we understand some people have lower pain tolerances but she definitely did not appreciate a) not being the center of attention b) having us having all the same issues and proving you don't have to be a complete invalid.

Kanda enjoyed all the company. He loves Lucky Uncle and people. He was under the table all night.

I'm back to writing. Wish me luck. I'll bbl with a snippet and today's word count. I want to get to 43K

ETA - I failed to get to my goal but I still wrote nearly 2K today.

Nano Snippet "I'm no longer entirely human I don't think, Solan. And I could see Tenaldi is a bit...naive. He's young. You both are. I didn't think it would hurt to have a companion and he's very cute as is your Prince but the prince is a complication no one would need." Camristy let his head tip back and he stared at the ceiling. "But the reality is I am the Lady of Blood and Bone's man. I am centuries old and I may be here for centuries more. I don't see any signs that the Lady will let me go free. She may need the story of the Heartbroken Warrior to endure. And he may be fated to endure it alone."
