Sorry about that, I thought the almost daily posts would get me in trouble.
Yesterday (Saturday) I woke up to no conditioning and a dead coffee maker. The day was spent finding the right machine for my morning indulgence. Today I dealt with the AC (I live in central Florida and my house has floated about 90 F yesterday and today, with the appropriate humidity level. The AC unit will be replaced later this week and the house should be liveable again.
We are nearing a major turning point in the story and Perhaps a spin-off timeline for Zi yi, at least until the 15th or 16th century. Don't know how I am going to handle that yet.
Thanks and an update will come soon.
