I may be jinxing myself since my son is not yet in bed, but he's sick today so it looks like I'll have a little more time than usual to write or maybe read tonight.
Jack was supposed to start preschool today, but he stayed home with dad on Jeff's day off, because he has a pretty nasty cold and even had a fever last night and this morning. He hasn't had a nap today and is a little more out of it than usual for 8 p.m., so I anticipate that I'll have a half hour or more than I would on a normal night to sit here and write or keep reading Stephenie Meyer's "The Host."
That story has gotten a little more interesting now that I'm about 100 pages in. I'd like to keep reading it to see how long it can hold my attention. It's not a typical science fiction book and is actually a sci-fi/romance hybrid, like Meyer's "Twilight" series that's a fantasy/romance hybrid. It's all internal dialog though, so I'm not sure how they'll make "The Host" into a movie, but that's what screenwriters get the big bucks for, right?
Well, as much as I hate that my son is miserably sick, I am looking forward to the extra writing and/or reading time tonight, so I must end this and get him to bed.
