Just as I walked through the door, I heard the beeping of my answering machine. It was the corporate office of my former employer, who had a question about a task I’d done before I left. We had a good conversation, which surprised me given the fact that my boss had spent the last two years trashing the hell out of me. She joked with me about how I should stay away from companies like theirs.

After we hung up, I continued my search for a CMS/portal program. I’m at the point now where I’m thinking about paying for one, so long as it works. Again, I’m finding nothing that meets my needs. I wound up setting that aside for writing.

I forgot to count how many pages I wrote, but suppose it doesn’t matter. Chapter 10 is getting written, and that’s all that counts. I came upon a post in another writer’s blog about NaNoWri. That starts in two weeks, and I haven’t even started my outline.

Do outlines do anyone any good? They rarely work for me. I’m thinking about writing a spoof on Lost, since I’m so frustrated with the show. Perhaps I’ll get that outline written on Sunday. If not, then I’ll do what I always do–wing it.

Last night, I found a cool picture of an exotic cat and am in the process of etching a drawing. I had started another picture of a cactus flower, but screwed it up by adding a highlight where I shouldn’t have, thus ruining the whole design. That happens sometimes.

Today is all about preparing for my son’s party tomorrow.
