I spent about 3-1/2 hours in the field today doing census work, and it’s exhausting work in this heat. We’re nearly 100 degrees, though we haven’t hit it yet. A lot of walking and knocking on doors. *exhale*
In terms of writing, I’ve been struggling with how to proceed on the story in progress, but I think I have it worked out. I may write tomorrow before I go out into the heat again. I’d like to finish this project up and start another one, but it’s still looking like the work in progress is going to be novelette length.
On the relaxation side, I mixed my first daiquiri today, only I had to use Malibu because I had no other white rum. Not a bad concoction, but too short. I have to start thinking hot weather drinks now, which probably means a lot of sparkling water or ginger ale mixes.
