icepixieIt feels more like early October than late July outside. I love it. Can all summers be like this? In fact, this whole summer has been largely beautiful--cool (for here) and rainy. The only downside is that the rain has bred a crapload of mosquitoes.

I continue to look like I'm smuggling a baseball under the skin of my right thigh. Out of morbid curiosity, I measured the bruise covering most of said baseball-sized swollen area, and it's 3.5 inches at its widest. My old math skills suggest that, as a shape that most closely resembles a circle, it has an area of about nine inches. Note to self: Never wear blade guards on the ice again.

My main character decided to suddenly have 500 words of flashback in the middle of a rather important scene of the not!drawerfic. I'm rolling with it. It does confirm some backstory I've been meaning to nail down for a while, and I do like that it gives her character some more nuance that dovetails nicely with some of her actions earlier in the story.
I feel, eh, about a third of the way through part two of four. I am, at least, covering significantly more time in part two than in part one (18 months vs. three months), and parts three and four will cover relatively vast amounts of time, which makes the 1996 ending feel not so far away. (Currently I'm still mired in the autumn of 1990.)
