is it Friday yet?

The morning writing hasn't gone too well over the past few days. Mickey's morning meds get dosed over the course of an hour, which chops the time up. This means I need to watch the clock a little too closely, so the semi-immersion I need in order to get started doesn't happen. Add to that the general anxiety. Is he OK? Will he eat this morning? It hits me in my stomach, which means I can barely force coffee down, much less breakfast, and say goodbye to concentration. Maybe I'll try the night writing until this eases up.

Oh look--it's mid-July already.

Working on backfill, filling in the gaps in early chapters. Nasty meeting scene, in which protag is humiliated and discredited, is currently on the table. Hope I can make it nasty enough.

So far:

33,639 / 110,000 (30.6%)

I'll be taking Mickey to the doggy hospital tomorrow. It's been a week and a half since this load of rocks fell on him, and I still haven't been able to step up his food intake so that he can take in enough calories, and it isn't going to get any better if he can't eat enough to maintain his weight. He ate breakfast and lunch, but turned away from dinner, and has been drinking a lot of water. Just spoke with his vet--it's possible that either his pancreas or liver is flaring. Time to call in the specialist.
