Friday Five

[jtthomas]

 Figured I might as well start doing these, just to have something to post.

1. What plans did you have for this summer?

I wanted to get a second draft of my second novel done, and perhaps get in some music practice.

2. Have you accomplished them or is it still a work in progress?

Writing was put on hold due to a tendinitis flare which progressed into a new location of trigger finger (a family problem, strangely). Some music practice has happened, however, which is nice. I'm picking up guitar pretty quickly thanks to Little Bear, and I've adapted my old violin skills to what my hands can handle. 
 

3. What would make this summer much better for you?

Not having a tendinitis flare, trigger finger, or heat intolerance. That last one goes for every summer.
 

4. When did you go back to school from summer break when you were a kid?

My school was the only one in the area which didn't go back until after Labor Day. As far as I know, that's still true, even with a changed superintendent and new principals at two of the three schools.
 

5. Is anyone else as shocked as I am that July and most of the summer is nearly over?

YES.
