Sunny Day!

I love sunny days. I'm up over 2k on the Herman story and can't see the end. I worked on it a bunch yesterday and will again today. Yay!

January 9--Egyptian 18th Dynasty Wedjet Eye Pectoral from Tut's Tomb. Lucy opened her eyes to see an eye looking back at her. The eye wasn't connected to a body. It never had been; not in the usual way. It was attached to Nate's body, though. It was in his skin. She never understood why he had gotten a tattoo of an Egyptian eye, some hieroglyphic that no one knew the meaning of. It creeped her out to see that unblinking eye and eyebrow looking at her from his upper arm. She kind of liked the bird on the right side of the tattoo. It looked kind of like an eagle wearing an odd sort of crown but she never warmed up to the cobra snakey part on the left. Nate spun some story that the eye stood for some kind of protective mojo with the ibis, yeah, an ibis that's what he called it, spreading its great wings on one side and a poisonous snake on the other. She thought he was full of shit.

There. Now if that's not a perfect example of the difference between men and women, I don't know what is. Enjoy your day.
