Introducing...
That (not so much) crumbling core of Western Europe's military might
Also complicating that is fact that Thalia needs to be home tommorow since she has a cold: cough, runny nose, mild fever. 6 hrs ago
I fell asleep at 7:30pm and woke up at 12:30 due to coughing kid. Awake now. Will be interesting to see when I get tired. 6 hrs ago

Mmm. The extended rise to leader of army plot sequence in this novella will be cut in favor of Duel To Death! Other way is long/boring. :) 6 hrs ago
Thalia's home today sick. Poor kid. Poor Toby's deadline LOL. 18 hrs ago
