Drinking cocktails and dealing with deadlines!

Published: Thu, 11/11/21

Dear Reader,

I went out to dinner this week. A proper, white table cloth, why yes I would like to see the cocktail list, fancy-pants dinner. It's been a surprisingly long time since I've done that and I enjoyed the heck out of it.

There was no real special occasion for it. Other than Mr. Melinda being out of town on a work trip. And while the cat's away the mice go out and drink cocktails. But we called it my belated birthday dinner, got dressed up, and trundled out to try Savor, a local fine dining place we'd heard lots of good things about.

We had perfectly cooked steak, superhero themed cocktails, and a slice of peanut butter pie that we had maybe one bite each of because we were both so full!

And much to our delight, all the good things were true!

An excellent steak, a couple of tasty cocktails, and of course a delicious dessert turned an average Tuesday night into a wonderful treat. Sometimes you've got to take your special occasions where you can find them!

And now I'm going to slink back into the depths of the word mines. Because The Quiet Prince goes to the editor on November 22 and that's only ten days away!!!

😱 😱 😱

XoXo,

Edwina

BOOK NEWS

My anxiety levels are at DEFCON 5 as the November 22 deadline approaches.

I've been pondering the significance of the word deadline recently. Does it seem sinister to you that deadline has the word dead in it? I mean we could call it the dueline or the doneline, but nope it's the deadline.

Like you're going to have to kill yourself if you don't make it...

But so far, despite the occasional fancy-pants dinner and having succeeded in completed the Thief game on Ms Melinda's PS4, The Quiet Prince is on track to being completed.

And since you now have complete confidence that I'll have the book done for you in time, here's my friendly reminder that The Quiet Prince arrives on 1/6/2022!

I WANT TO READ!

We heard about Savor from Mr. Melinda who has fancy-pants work dinners there fairly regularly.

The thing is... I'm not sure Mr. Melinda knows we went for a fancy-pants dinner without him.

But he reads this newsletter, so...

Hi Mr. Melinda 👋 Thanks for the recommendation!
