Hey Kansas!
Yeah, it wasn't TOO bad. Went 4 days without and lost power off and on a bit during the nor'easter, but weather wise things are finally looking up! Even going to be in the 60's this weekend! YAHOOOOOOOOO. But on top of all this, during the hurricane, one of my girls had a stomach virus, then I got it, and now my other daughter has it, so I've been home with kids for a good 2 weeks which means everything else in life is pretty much on hold. Though I did manage to cut off 7K from my novel yesterday and got it down to 93K which is HUGE. I have a bit more chopping to do, but I will be happy with anything under 90K. I had to eliminate a subplot, but it still totally works. Now it's a matter of losing those smaller scenes that are so darn hard to let go of because I just love them or they a part of character development and I'm not sure if they should or shouldn't go, but when I get to betas, they know to look out for that stuff for me. How are you doing?
ETA: Oh! And they FINALLY have the gas situation under some control. They are adopting Jersey's idea and rationing gas out on alternating days (plates that end in odd numbers get gas on odd number days), so today is my gas day!
