Dog Days of Summer

There literally is nothing going on here. Nothing. We definitely are in the dog days of summer. It has been super hot, too, which I wouldn't mind -- if we'd get some rain. We haven't had rain in so long that everywhere I look plants are dying. If only some of that rain from the Gulf Coast had made it here; I'm sure they could have spared some!
With so little happening here, I have been putting all my energy in to working and doing a few things around the house. I'm generally a workaholic anyway, but I've been taking it to a new level of extreme. That's good, though. Now's the time to do it, right? I actually am making some progress on my book, too, so that is a very pleasant result! : )
