Dear humans,

The female walked outside (onto the balcony) with bare feet. She now has burned feetsies. We tried to warn her frail non-desert creatures such as herself should not do such things, but she didn't listen to us. We're not even willing to go out in that nonsense right now.

It is, apparently, going to be 96 degrees (F) outside today. The female braved the weather to water her plants. They were unappreciative of her efforts. We've noticed they're very quiet.

That said, some plants, according to the male, are 'noisy.'

Amusingly, he meant smelly, but now the female refuses to stop telling the male that it's his fault they're noisy, obviously.

Those silly, noisy plants.

So, on the subject of plants, the female rescued a dill plant. It was limp, lying sadly on the container it sits upon. Very sad.

It is now tall and proud and green, and she waters it every day. Some of it died from its abuse at the grocery store (living in the refrigerator section with its roots still attached) but most of it has survived. She is very proud.

In other life stuff, we have learned a new few things:

1: The male is interested in a house outside of town, and he is inquiring if he will be able to work remotely due to the changes at his workplace.

2: As the male will be staying home for another few months at a minimum, the discussion of the workplace rules (for his job) came up, and there are times the female must be evicted to another room. To make sure she can work properly, a new laptop has been purchased. It has 16". It has bells and whistles. The female made choking noises while the male ordered it yesterday.

The female feels like she needs to somehow write a new book to cover the price of this laptop. The male corrected this presumption. (No, female. It's a necessary purchase at this stage. Your travel laptop is not sufficient to run photoshop and a bunch of other things you often require. Stop whining!)

3: The female is trying to eat healthier. She is eating kale sprouts as a snack. She... is frightened by how much she likes kale sprouts. (She does not like kale very much.)

The other sprouts were out of stock so she decided to try these sprouts. There were berries and cherries also consumed.

4: Yes, she had coffee today.

5: The music of the day is Cascada's Everytime we touch. The pop version, not the slow version.

6: To every book we've ever called feral, we're sorry. Booked for Murder is SO much more feral than you ever were.

7: If the female doesn't surface for a few days, Booked for Murder held her down until she stopped struggling and bubbles came up.

Bad book, don't kill the female.

(It will get written. It just has to put up a fight first because it is an asshole.)

P.S.: Send a non-asshole book our way soon, please. Please. We need a non-asshole book, the kind that writes itself in a week. Just one. Please? Please?

Have a good day, humans!
