Vacation time!

So what am I going to do on Monday? Go to the dentist to get a crown fixed! Woohoo! Well, it's much needed and long-delayed and part of my long term plan to get some serious dental work done, so I'll have to deal with it. I mean, I'm used to it by now and I think this particular dental office is much better than the previous ones I've been to.

Other than that? Hmm. A visit downtown, a roadtrip to Filoli Gardens again for some horticultural enjoyment, a Costco run, a roadtrip up to Petaluma to visit the in-laws and possibly do a bit of shopping, some house and garage cleaning, but for the most part this is all about just spending some time relaxing away from the Day Jobs and having some fun.

Well, that and work on an outline for the last several chapters of Theadia. I'm at the point where it's needed now...I only have the vaguest ideas of how I can wrap it up, and winging it is not the way to go here. This is just like those last chapters of The Balance of Light way back then...weaving together all those plot threads into something that makes sense and works in the best way possible. And speaking of which, I've also been thinking more about commissioning a cover for this one. I have a few artists in mind that I'd like to contact. There's one I really like that has the book cover background and their style is very impressionistic, which I think would work here. I'm a bit worried that it might cost a lot, but it's something I'm still willing to look into.

But yeah...it's vacation time, so I am really looking forward to slowing myself down, catching up on sleep and hanging out with A and the kitties!
