edenfalling1. Sunday was the last day of GrassRoots (a local music festival in Trumansburg, just on the west side of Cayuga Lake) which means it was also my fifth day in a row working noon to closing, since both Boss Lady and Lemme-Tell-Ya attend faithfully every year. Monday will be Sweetheart's fifth day in a row opening the store, since she and I covered the bulk of the shifts while our coworkers were gone; Melodrama and Puppydog covered the middle bits, with one shift of assistance from the manager of our sister store in Elmira.
I have no interest in attending GrassRoots -- camping out for four days in the hottest part of the year is really, really, really not my thing -- but Sweetheart likes both music and summer, and it's unfair to her that Lemme-Tell-Ya has put permanent dibs on the event every year they've both worked at the smoke shop. Ah well. Perhaps next year.

2. I continue to post one chapter of "Secrets" per day over on AO3. I am editing slightly as I go -- mostly removing italics, but also fixing some weird punctuation (apparently in 2004/2005 I had a Thing for starting sentences with ellipses, which baffles me in retrospect) and rephrasing a few lines. I am copying those changes over to the ff.net version, but I'm not certain the two versions are exactly the same, since I've discovered some minor discrepancies between the files on my computer and the posted version on ff.net. I do not feel like going over them with a fine-tooth comb, nor do I especially want to reformat and re-upload the damn things, so I will just declare the AO3 version the most canonical from here on out. (I am not even going to begin editing the FictionAlley version, though I probably ought to upload chapter 15 and the epilogue once I do my final pass-through. Also chapter 14, which I seem not to have ever cross-posted over there, whoops.)
-----
3. I haven't actually started work on "Guardian," since I got a bit of momentum going on "Weregild" and I think one more section will finish off chapter three, which I can then collect and post on AO3. So I'm going to see if I can get that done on Monday -- I have 100 words of part 20 written already, which is not much but better than nothing.
-----
4. My parents are driving to Ithaca on Wednesday in order to drop off their car for the next two months. I will be working that day, but we plan to do lunch on my break. Which reminds me that I must write a note to Upstairs Neighbors R and A to tell them I will need my driveway back for a while. I will do that in the morning.
-----
And now I am going to have a slice of bread and a hard-boiled egg, finish rereading Avalanche bybranchandroot, and get some well-earned sleep.
