A Book of Tongues: THUD

handful_ofdustChapter Twenty-One: Done. 8,511 words total. Off to the usual sources.
Chapter Twenty-Two: Begun, mapped out. Hopefully much shorter, since most of it's just a "long-distance" conversation in a graveyard. Then the Afterword, and...done, motherfucker.
Yesterday I experimented with keeping Cal in underpants after Surrey Place, toileting him roughly every ten minutes (set the timer on the stove). In six hours, we had one accident and seven pees, no poos. Diapers on again at bedtime, at which point he crapped three times (once before sleep, twice after). We checked on him every few hours, changed him, and had no other occurrences.
Thus far today: Moved it up to fifteen or twenty minutes, with one accident (right at the start) vs. five pees. A couple of instances of him saying "All done!" immediately after being put on the toilet, but I made him stick around for at least a minute or so, and was rewarded with two instances of "oh gee, so there WAS pee in there, after all. How strange!"
Now I'm trying to figure out if I should put him in a diaper to run some errands. I'm thinking yes, if only because I really don't need the aggravation of trying to find a public toilet every fifteen minutes. It is, however, interesting to note how much easier it's been to get this damn ball rolling without having to deal with Steve being physically "present" yet not going along with the program, as I would have had to if I'd started this during any given weekend...
But he really does want to be out of the diapers, that's obvious. So--we'll keep a-goin'.
My fascinating life...
