We left the island on Sunday afternoon, so as to briefly overlap with Aunt Cara's visit to the Twin Cities. (She is now retired and is planning to move back to Minnesota from Chicago, and wanted Mom and Nick to help her out with her first baby steps in that process.) We had a nice family dinner, and now Aunt Cara has left to drive home, Dad and Nick are out buying a power cord for Nick's weed-whacker and some fence repair supplies, and Mom is at Urgent Care to get her injured foot checked out after we collectively convinced her to stop ignoring it and proclaiming it was totally getting better, really it was. *headdesk*

Meanwhile I am taking advantage of a free kitchen table and outlet and getting a little writing done. I have added a bit over 275 words to chapter 18 of The Guardian in Spite of Herself -- admittedly, most of them are a description of Tengai, but I'd been stuck in the scene in question for a while and last night I finally realized that what I needed at that point IS, in fact, a detailed description of Tengai, because the town layout becomes relevant later on and this meeting between Eiji and Kisame is exactly where that becomes less of an infodump and more of a "I am showing you around my town so you can work out a defense plan as per our potential contract" thing.

I think I'm gonna see if I can finish the scene and get started on scene 4 (Naga-tachi reacting to a message from Konoha). :)

I hope you're having a good time here in MN - and that you haven’t had too much trouble with all the high water!! (Last year the lake levels were so low that we wished for more… oops, we wished too hard.)

It’s going down about half an inch a day on our lake, which isn’t terribly far from yours. I’m just glad your dock is usable! (We’re still waiting for the water to go down enough for them to put ours in… it already floated away once.)
