I’m up to page 137 (of 335). There’s some workable stuff here, but this book has ‘issues’. Lots to be cut/revised. Of course, the challenge for me will be: What to cut; what to revise; what to keep. But isn’t it that way for all of us? I need to remember: For many things, less is more.

But this is my last day to “play at full-time writer.” My convalescent leave is over, I’m walking using my knee, so duty calls. Tomorrow, I return to duty. But I like the writer gig. I’d like to do more of it.

Physical therapy continues and is going well. Next week, I do the pre-op appointments for the eyes, then I will be on another week of convalescent leave. Not sure how much I’ll be able to use the eyes, so that may limit computer time that week. In some ways, I think the eye post-op time will be worse than for the knee. I tend to rely on my eyes for many things.
