This will be a radically different kind of busy weekend than last. It will not involve kilts, for one thing, or wigs, or one too many beers, or flapping my gums when I didn't mean to after one too many beers. Even if what I said was the right thing to say.
I've got quite a list to get through, most of it very fun stuff. I've got the idea for a new project burbling away, at that point where I think it's a wicked idea, but where the fuck do I think I'm going to find the time for it. I love this stage, where it could be anything, and will be everything brilliant.
Then there's the two writing projects: one I need to finish already, the other I need to start and finish. Then there's the general writing, the 20 minutes I've not managed to do again since that first time.
But it starts off with lots of non-wordy fun. Steve and I are going to have dinner tomorrow night, after which we will repair to our garage so that he can introduce me to the weights and other sundry workout equipment we have there.
When the tough get down, the down pick up heavy shit, is what I wrote to him today.
And then Saturday morning, I'll cross Somerset Street to make pancakes for the KGRF, and nothing says happy weekend like toddlers throwing themselves at you with glee.
It will be the perfect antidote to this week, which, by and large, has been frustrating and sad and thank the fuck god there's only one more day.

Oh thank her good.
BTW I love picking up heavy shit, so if you want picking up heavy shit company - I do it thrice weekly.
Hi Megan,
I noticed Exit Music in your library. I finished the book last weekend. Did you like it? I am sad to see him going into retirement. I read all the Rebus stories and thoroughly enjoy them. I can't believe it is the end of the Rebus serie. Given my secret crush for Siobhan, i just can't accept it.
I love your writing. Please keep going!!!

Mae: Indeed, it was the week without end, seemingly. We'll see how dedicated I actually become to picking up the heavy shit. It's always hard to tell with me at the start of a new fitness thing.
Martin: Ah, Shiv. So totally crushable. I don't think I've read all the Rebus stories, just picked away at them here and there, so I've got at least a few more to go. I hope, anyway. He's apparently writing mysteries still - my mom gave the first post-Rebus one a faint-praise review. She found it hard to get over the fact that it wasn't a Rebus story, which is not Rankin's fault.
You read any Peter Robinson? His Inspector Banks is quite similar to Rebus. In fact, there's a fun thread going through at least the first few books where Banks is irritated because people keep comparing him to this fictional character Rebus. Fun times, and he's still writing.
Always nice to meet another mystery lover.
Glad you like the writing, welcome!
Megan, thanks for the information regarding Peter Robinson. I will give it a look. As for Rankin, he is an excellent writer but I am afraid that he will be victim of Rebus' popularity. It will be difficult for him, as it was difficult for Arthur Conan Doyle with Holmes, to stray away from Rebus.
Going down south: Do it! I spent 3 weeks in Argentina in January. This break from winter was wonderful. Sun and the late sunset...nothing can beat that!
