So the new chapter is off for editing, finally. Once those wonderful editors make my inane thoughts readable it will be y'alls to read. Hope everyone is doing alright. Let's hope those in charge finally get the people affected by the last two storms the help they need.

So, I know I'm behind and wish I had better news. Real life is getting in the way of writing. I was given a shift change at work and adapting to the new schedule has been tough. I'm now working from nine at night until six in the morning. And we're coming on peak season which means I'll probably be working a bunch of overtime.

For some reason this has completely got me spinning. I'm writing but in drips and drabs. I'm hoping maybe by the end of next week to have the next chapter off to editing.

I know as an avid reader that this off and on posting schedule is annoying as hell. I'm doing my best, and I appreciate those that are sticking around for this ride. Hope y'all have a great weekend and your favorite team wins unless it's the Packers.

So the next chapter will be set to post in the morning. Hope y'all have a great week. I know mine is going to be horrible, so I've got that going for me.

I'm putting the finishing touches on the next chapter. Which means I'm probably messing up the fine work of my editors. It'll go into the queue to post first thing in the morning.

Hope y'all are doing well.

I've got about two thirds of the next chapter written and hopefully will get it finished this weekend. Because I have extra time due to peoples inattention to detail.

Here comes the rant.

I purchased a new grill. My plan was to put it together today. Well, that's not going to happen. Seems who ever packaged the grill forgot to include a necessary part. This essentially shut down putting the grill together. As I write this I'm on hold waiting to talk to somebody about getting this part sent to me. I'm guessing this call is going to aggravate me even more than I already am.

The second part of this rant is going to be about a more societal issue. I made a small deviation from how I normally go about buying things like this. I didn't check where the hell the thing was made. Turns out surprise, surprise it was made in China like most everything today. The quality of how this was put together in the nicest words I can use is shitty.

I can remember when things were built to last. I have a washer and dryer that's been in the family since the late 80's. They are probably going on their last leg at this point. But hell, I'll take a major appliance lasting almost 40 years. Shit just isn't built like that anymore. Things aren't built to be fixed anymore, if it breaks down just replace it.

I apologize for y'all having to listen to me bitch, but I just needed to get that off my chest. I hope y'all have a great weekend.
