Friday JohnKu – AKA – TGIF

“It’s Friday, Little One. Go play.”
“But Dad. I don’t have anything to play with.”

Looks like we made it to Friday. I hope your week was a good one. I can’t say much has been going on around here. We have had a full week of above 100 degrees F. Have to say it gets old after a while. Wednesday night we got a nice downpour. It was totally out of the blue. Not forecasted. It seems the big high-pressure area that sat over us all week moved slightly to the west. Nature abhors a vacuum so in rushed a little cold front and there we had it, rain.

I managed to keep the 1000 wood a day pace on my WIP this week. I’m currently at over 47,000. That means I did a little better than 1000 a day. I usually target about 90,000 so I’m a smidgeon over half way to a completed first draft.

Today’s JohnKu talks about unforcasted events. I hope you all have a super weekend.

  1. We’ve had temps close to 100 all week, John. I don’t mind the heat, but the humidity is so oppressive. You’re right though, it does get old. I’m ready for a taste of fall air…not cold though. Sounds like you’re making steady progress…great job! Happy Friday…I’m soooo ready for the weekend. 🙂

  2. Wow, great progress on your WIP. Congratulations! Maybe the heat is helping you stay indoors and focused? Warm or cool, I suspect Twiggy is a bit of a distraction. How can anyone resist her plea for a playmate?

  3. We’ve been swimming in 100% humidity for days on end, the old “air you can wear,” and I, too, am over it. Variety is the spice of life, right? Wishing you a lovey weekend, John.

  9. That caption on Twiggy’s picture is perfection, LOL!
    Congrats on your continued word count, and wow, hoping you get a nice long break from those 100 degree temps. We had several days of those a few weeks ago and it was terrible!

    Happy Friday, John!

  11. Aw, poor Twiggy. Her toy-pile looks remarkably like Dallas’s. One nice thing about having a senior pup is they don’t demand new toys every time you leave the house!

    Kudos on the WIP progress. Sad that I can’t claim the same. Maybe one day….

  13. Our heat indexes have been as high as 110 this past week. Indeed, it’s old. Tuesday we had a thunderstorm that made temps drop 20 degrees … talk about singing in the rain 😀 But it never lasts long (enough) 🥵 Happy Friday, John, and I hope we all get some relief soon.

  15. That kind of heat would definitely get old. Pretty quickly, at that.
    Every day should be a surprise! And if you can’t see it, look for it.
    Happy weekend, John. And please, look at her face… just give the poor lass a toy, she is bereft! LOL!

  17. Yes, it would be nice if every surprise was good 🙂 The rain sounds nice though. Congrats on your word count success.

  21. We too had high nineties last week, but each afternoon we get a wind that helps lower it a bit or at least it feels like it, and the evenings have been cooling off for a couple of weeks now signaling a change of season is coming.

    Looks like they have lots of toys, but like children, they too get bored with them after a while.

    I hope it’s cooling off there, and you hit your target word count this week!
