Slogging

Well, the going is slow right now. I feel like I’m slogging through things. Of course, the fact that it’s January and I’ve got to get all the business stuff in line (ugh – taxes – at least I’m done with those forms), and the crisis in Cape Town, South Africa seems to be generating a fair amount of interest in the Simple Shower (my invention – buy one on Amazon or at http://www.simple-shower.com).  In case you haven’t heard, the government shut off the water supply because the reservoirs are practically bone dry and have water distribution sites where people get 25-50 liters of water per day (that’s the equivalent of 6.5-13 gallons a day). Not a lot. Luckily, the Simple Shower (btw, featured in Surveyor) can get one clean with as little as 4 liters (well, some people need less, I use three, the final liter being the “aaaahhhhh” liter).

I suspect I’ll get little writing done this week, but we’ll see. I managed to knock out another thousand or so words today (despite having been working since 6:30 AM and it’s now after 9:30 PM).  Almost up to 48K words.  With any luck I’ll be over 50K by next weekend (keep your fingers crossed).
