Amanda’s POV
After Mark left for his first day of work, I enjoyed the peace and quiet very much. The light was very good this morning, so I was able to get spend some time painting on two of the illustrations for the Hawaiian turtle story. After I was satisfied with that I worked for an hour or so on the teen fantasy novel.
Around lunchtime, I notice there was very little available for lunch in the kitchen, so I went out to the nearest grocery store to grab a quick lunch from the deli, as well as ingredients for tonight’s dinner, and few things I could make for breakfast and lunches for a couple of days. Then I spent the next 5 hours working on the novel, getting far more done in that amount of time than I had since before that i***t Rick had moved in with me and threw off my groove.
