You know how real life has a tendency to fill your plate up at times? It's been that way around here. We had to take the keys away from the mother-in-law, so she couldn't drive any more. Three guesses which former car salesman (that sold her the car in the first place) got put in charge of getting the most money from it for her? (2017 Subaru Forester Premium with Eyesight, 18,500 miles, added Katskin leather seats - I'm curious what you think I managed to get for it from a dealership as a straight buy bid.)
That was fine, but she then fell, got hurt, and was in the hospital. Upon release, she had to go to assisted living, and that's where she's going to stay. So now we have to get her house in order (literally) so that my sister-in-law and I can market it, since we're both realtors. In the meantime, I've FINALLY had a qualified buyer again (only took three months!), so I've been busy showing them houses, then getting contracts written, and now going through the home inspection process.
On top of that, my wife had knee surgery Thursday. Amazing how when the pain meds finally wear off how much things hurt. (I've had my share of surgeries over the years - same day normally is great, but two days later REALLY sucks.)
All that to say that I'm ALMOST done writing Chapter 10 of Book Four, but I've been almost done writing Chapter 10 for most of the week. I still think I should have 15 chapters done by Thanksgiving ... I've got things figured out in my head, it's just getting the time to get things down now. It's not like things are incredibly convoluted in the storyline or anything, with it all being quite straight forward, right? (Yeah, I laughed at that a little, myself.)
