Finding a quiet time to write isn’t easy around here.  If I sit down to write when DH is taking his afternoon nap invariably both dogs decide it’s time to go out.  It’d be nice if I could open the door and let them go out on their own but around here, it isn’t a wise thing to do. 

     Then there are phone calls and people dropping by.  Therefore, I write late at night when the phone is quiet, no one drops by, and the dogs and DH are sound asleep…well, most of time they are.  For quite a while, DH was having trouble sleeping and would wander down about an hour after I’d get started on whatever writing I planned to do.  There’s no writing when DH wants to talk.  It looks as though a new mattress has that problem solved for now.

     However, Gavin has decided that he needs an extra out in the wee hours of the morning.  Patty, hearing that he has gone out, wants a turn too.  Out I schlep with the dogs.
