The construction workers/window washers/whatever-they-were finished early(ish) today, only being insanely loud and disruptive until a little after lunchtime. I spent most of the day waist-deep in the big muddy, editing — or rather mostly reformatting — a manuscript, which really could not be more problematic in its formatting if it tried.

But yeah.) Truth is, I’ve run into worse manuscripts, messier formatting, bigger problems. But oh man, my head? It asplode.
Otherwise, the day was pretty uneventful.

It’s a tough life. And the heat continued to rise, slacking off just a little this evening when the skies opened up and it poured rain.
