Willey has a bad cold. Our Valentine’s kisses are limited to quick pecks of the lips. Of course, that’s temporary – he always says “what the heck” and so do I. We share EVERYTHING! The girls are full of energy and are displaced for a few minutes as the heating maintenance man is here, checking the vents. JiMin just woke up. It’s early for her 9am! Being a teenager has some benefits…

My goal is to get a very good idea of my characters today and to write (even if crappy) 300 words. That is LaMott’s prescription. I only have a couple index cards written out.

My Valentine’s present this year was a delicious margarita – Willey makes the best ones. This morning, he made me a cup of coffee.
