I’m haphazardly trying to get my manuscript together for my July 1 deadline. I was off from work today, and my son was at home with me. It’s hard to get any work done with an almost-two-year-old around. When he settled in for his nap, I felt like I wanted a nap, too. However, my work beckoned to me, so I made an iced coffee to stay awake. Since I was impatient, I didn’t allow my coffee to cool properly, so it wasn’t as good as the iced coffees I’d gotten at restaurants and coffee places. My coffee ended up tasting lukewarm, even after I’d added the ice cubes, but I drank it anyway since I needed to stay awake.

I got a fair amount of work done, and I’m glad about that.

Also, I’ve started reading Michelle McKinney Hammond’s book The Last Ten Percent. I’ll post a full review about it once I’m finished with the novel.
