Hallelujah, the book is done!!! We’re free!
Ok, expect few posts until mid-week, I’m going out in the garden and may never come back (never probably being until at least Wednesday 
)!
Thanks everyone for all your support and kind words during the process!
Sharon, who, even though she’d done this before, can’t quite get over the fact that she wrote a real, live, book - and that someone is crazy enough to publish it!

Ok, today is the LAST DAY of writing the book. Did you hear me (of course, I’m naturall such a quiet soul, so I doubt you can hear me ;-P)? THE VERY LAST DAY OF SPENDING ALL MY TIME IN FRONT OF THE CURSED-TO-HELL COMPUTER.
Tomorrow, as Aaron put it, “Beer for Breakfast!” - but it is going to be a long, long, long day - it is 6:19 and I’ve been at the computer for close to two hours already. Don’t even ask when I went to bed. And don’t think I haven’t considered whether beer for breakfast might not make this day go faster.
And yes, I kinda forgot about Independence Days yesterday - actually, I think I mostly forgot it was Friday . So please, post your updates.
I will be posting my update on Monday, after exploring just how caught up I can get in a day. My first big management project will be the removal of 14 sheep and 1 donkey from my front yard. Note, the kids would prefer they stay, despite the decimation of my strawberry harvest. Today while I am turning pasty and typing incoherently, the boys will be celebrating Xote’s (our donkey) birthday. Did you know it was our donkey’s birthday? Me neither. But Isaiah says it is, and wants to make him a cake out of rolled oats, mushy apples and some other stuff.
I think the first category I will get something into is “management” since the removal of sheepies and their guard will enable me to then remove the approximately 400,000 individual bits of sheep and donkey manure presently adorning my lawn, garden and porch into the garden. Think of it as a treasure hunt. But it sounds delightful compared to writing any more books, ever.
So you’ve all got to be way, way ahead of me!
