hey, there is good news though.

Next tuesday is Unification day, so I get that day off.

Well thank the Lord for that!!! Make sure you unplug the phone and put a "do NOT disturb I,m busy with my boys" sign on your door. Then settle down and write PLENTY of sex....PLENTY. You know, the kind of stuff to turn us into puddles again. ;) ;) ;) ;)

The title of that chapter is very appropriate. I have a feeling the Junior is not being intentionally deceptive, but it is how she has learned to cope and in my view, it is not the best coping stategy. I hope Ennis realizes what is going on. I am sure Ellery does. I hope it does not become an issue between them.

Sigh...more family drama.

Unification Day is the day the Bundesrepublik Deutschland was reunited after being partitioned by the Allies after WWII, and West Germany and East Germany became a single country again.  A VERY BIG DAY for Germans.

Uh oh. Is Ellery scheming something? He just cajoled Ennis into staying and even got him drunk. That sudden change of topic was suspicious. Ennis is supposed to meet his daughters later that night, isn't he? and now he's drunk. It seemed to me Ellery sort of declared the war on Junior, or at least he's trying to avoid that Junior convinces her father to let her go to Laramie. Whatever Junior is trying to achieve, she's sure underestimating the power of Ellery's shit detector. Poor Ennis. I hope he finds a way to get everyone get along.

PS. I don't think Junior is a bad girl but she's making serious mistakes. She isn't thinking straight, that's for sure.
