It's Getting Worse

 Happy Friday, for those of you who don't work the weekend.  The temp was 64 (F) when I got up, which was around 0530.  Showers and thunderstorms are in the forecast for both this afternoon and tomorrow.  Sunday, however, appears to be a washout.  That's if the forecasters are correct.  I work both days so it doesn't really both me.  We could use the rain.

I did work yesterday.  When I checked the figures for the week we hadn't been making plan, but yesterday was different.  Most departments were bringing in revenue.  Millwork, however, had a big window sale go through which was going to push us over the top.  Will we make up our loss for the week by this coming Sunday?  It's anybody's guess.

Some yardwork is planned for the day, but most of my time will be spent polishing up The Body in History.  Sometimes I love this stage, and then there are others when I dislike it immensely.  The dislike arises when I'm anxious to start working on the next story.  By this time, I've usually decided who's going to be murdered next, and how that victim is going to die.  So, the question I'm pondering is will it be Carey Murgatroyd in the musical mystery, or someone else who becomes a body in the shadows.  You can do so much with shadows, an it might be fun to work with shade.

Regarding The Body in History, you might want to ask yourself if this taverna was the inspiration for the Kraken's Grotto.

So, for those of you who didn't think it could get any worse, yesterday's shit show was... bad.  Let's see, Waltz is out as National Security Advisor.  He's now nominated to be the US Ambassador to the United Nations.  Just wait for that Senate confirmation hearing.  And Little Marco is now both the Secretary of State and the National Security Advisor.  I remember when he used to smile, that never happens now.  He's as warty as a toad in his praise of the Orange Anus.  I don't know what dirt they have on him, but it must be bad.  Possible there was more truth in his attending gay orgies than some of us believed.  But the worst was definitely Kennedy saying, during the televised cabinet meeting, that the Department of Health and Human Services was the greatest trafficker of children in the world during the Biden administration.  The horror is that there are stupid people out there who will believe him.
