It&#39;s a gruesome task in comparison to the mopping up I am doing in preparation for the long weekend (i.e. laundry, making picnic plans, final edits of the aforementioned tale).<\/p>\n<p>So, even though I feel like this is the never-ending edit, things could be much worse. Wait till you read what task they are tackling \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>I plan to take it easy for the next few days, but that doesn&#39;t mean I won&#39;t still sneak in some brainstorming for other WIPs.
