This has been one of those weeks where I feel like I had to crawl, bite, and claw my way to Friday. Today better be an awesome day or I am going to have a talking to with the manager. Thankfully today I am going on a hike with my partner in crime. Don’t worry, I am using the term “Hike” very loosely. There may or may not be a hill involved. Thankfully we can decide that when we get to the park. I love Crane Creek. You have the option to walk a completely flat path when you are just not feeling it, or you can pepper in a few hills if you are adventurous. If I had my way I would re-name all the little trails they have to things like “Not Today Satan” for the flatter paths, and “Sure, why not? I will cry all the way” for the hillier routes.

Fluffy (The Do-Over Series)
by Julia Kent
Genre: Humor & Satire
FREE for a limited time
It all started with the wrong Help Wanted ad. Of course it did.
I’m a professional fluffer. It’s NOT what you think. I stage homes for a living. Real estate agents love me, and my work stands on its own merits.
Sigh. Get your mind out of the gutter. Go ahead. Laugh. I’ll wait.
See? That’s the problem. My career has used the term “fluffer” for decades. I didn’t even know there was a more… lascivious definition of the term.
Until it was too late.
The ad for a “professional fluffer” on Craigslist seemed like divine intervention. My last unemployment check was in the bank. I was desperate. Rent was due. The ad said cash paid at the end of the day. The perfect job!
Staging homes means showing your best angle. The same principle applies in making a certain kind of movie.
Turns out a “fluffer” doesn’t arrange decorative pillows on a couch. They arrange other soft, round-ish objects.
The job isn’t hard. Er, I mean, it is — it’s about being hard. Or, well… helping other people to be hard.
Oh, man…
And that’s the other problem. A man. No, not one of the stars on the movie set. Will Lotham – my high school crush.
The owner of the house where we’re filming. Illegally. In a vacation rental.
By the time the cops show up, what I thought was just a great house staging gig turned into a nightmare involving pictures of me with an undressed star, Will rescuing me from an arrest, and a humiliating lesson in my own naivete.
My job turned out to be so much harder than I expected. But you know what’s easier than I ever imagined?
Having all my dreams come true.
