Day 16 - 148 pages in a notebook

Yesterday was a big leap forward!  All by myself, I finally figured out how to make pdf files, get them onto a flash drive, and get all 148 pages printed at Office Depot - they are neatly arranged in a notebook - the meat of the book - now need an intro chapter and contents page and it will really look like a book!  (This is the former title, 4th or 5th one by now).  Already I've made deletions and changes in the first 4 pages - so I have much more work to do.  But at least I've got something beginning to resemble a book!  This is the 5th time I've done this so far.  By now it doesn't bear much resemblance to the first draft. . . To celebrate I got my hair split ends trimmed off at Great Clips and then to Wal-mart and bought some new undies, a candle,  and a new watch - old one died a few days ago.  Since the band was worn out and the new watch was only $26 I replaced the thing. . . .Still a bit cool, in the fifties, but looks like back into the 70s by the weekend!  WHEE - more time sitting on the beach in the sun.  Last week I actually got pink feet!   Amazing how rapidly the tan disappears. . . . . Fun watching the pelicans all fly south in straight lines - several groups do that in the mornings.  Need to watch to see if they fly back north in the evenings? . . . Disappointed to find the local coffee shop is closing.   A neat place for coffee  or tea or ice-cream and sitting on couches and reading - but enough business - so they're moving up to Surfside and selling out stuff.  Got a beautiful red hurricane-lamp-type vase for a buck - the Wal-mart candle looks serene therein.   Time to get to work.
