So today I uploaded two chapters to "The Wooing of Sunset Shimmer". However, to me, it's still Sunday. I haven't been to bed yet. I get these spells where 36 hours will pass before my brain says "Sleep, you foolish girl."

So, today - or when it's Monday to me, so probably late afternoon or early evening - I'll finally reveal the two gifts we really care about; The first gifts Sunset and Twilight give each other.

So tonight's shift at work was supervised by Murphy.

Cheese slicer came apart in my hands while using it. Scary thing when there's a blade capable of removing fingers running.

Our fryer exploded...well, it's control panel did. Sparks and smoke and the smell of melted plastic and LCD fluid. Yum.

Did I ever mention an exact color for Sunshine's coat? I know I said it was a more bluish shade of Twilight's basic light purple, but have I ever stated a definitive color?

This is where I kind of have issues. I have a mild form of colorblindness, where I can't tell shades apart if they are really close. I know the colors of the Mane 6 because it's not hard to tell and Google is my friend.

It's 37 outside - 2 for our metric readers - and wet. We've been having a drizzling rain almost all day and I'm cold. Not freezing, just cold - that annoying kind of cold that seeps into every last inch and the only thing that helps is blankets and layered clothing.

I plan on closing out Wooing soon, around six more chapters or so. These are up and coming stories and all are working titles.

Fluttershy SOL - When the Bough Breaks

Applejack - Dig In and Planted. - tentative ideas.

SunLight, Homecoming continuity - Chaos Theory

Around five more chapters each of my original works, Summer's Fury and Warriors of Faith

Azure - Into the Wilds

Rarity - Belle of the Ball

Writing the chapter for a large formal ball that ISN'T the Grand Galloping Gala is interesting. I have to come up with a cast of invitees, those not showing up, and possibly chaos induced by a certain Draconequus.

This may be a baaaaaad idea.

They do wonders for recharging the brain. That goes double when you wind up with your cat tucked in against you purring.

A note about the title. The Wooing of Sunset Shimmer is actually two titles in one.

The wooing Sunset does.
The wooing Sunset receives.

Well, so much for a double today. Labor was creeping towards 50%, which in my line of work means that half of our intake was going towards coasts, where we like to try and keep it around 30% at most. As one of the higher waged peeps, I got permission to skip out early.

And by permission I mean told to go home.

*kicks back and relaxes*

I'm afraid I need a day off.

Not from burnout, just bad scheduling. I have to pull a double tomorrow and then open the following day, so tomorrow there won't be an update for "The Wooing of Sunset Shimmer" and I apologize for that.

On the other hand, with the events of the most recent chapter, maybe I should let everypony catch up.

We'll be back with a fresh chapter on Thursday evening.

I wrote a chapter for Wooing while sleep deprived. It was not a good outcome. I almost had Sunshine (Twilight) 'power up' into Midnight Sparkle v2.0, which was going to be similar to how Sunset's second transformation was less demonic and more angelic. The writing was horrible, did not quite match the tone of the previous chapter, and honestly was rubbish. It has since been burned, dissolved, and boiled away.
