The first week of June went by... whoosh. And today is already whoosh. Of course, I got up late, so part of that can be excused. The rest? No Excuses. I'm not really sure how much reading the minutiae of my life interests anyone else, but these posts help me, so there you are.
Anyway, there hasn't been much in the way of writing or editing lately. Sorry about that, too. As for marketing... Well... FB, in its infinite wisdom, decided to limit the amount of posts I can do in a row. I can get 5 out before it tells me that in order to avoid 'spam', it won't let me post anymore for a while. Not clue as to what amount of time that is. An hour later, I might be able to get another post or two out, but not always. The next day I can rinse and repeat with the same or worse outcomes. Still, I managed to get posts to most of the groups I belong to and Friday, Project Hermes took off - moving 121 that day alone. Still, with the other drab days added in, I gave away 161 books. I'll try again tomorrow with Wish Hits the Fan.
Reading went okay, I guess. I DNF'd more that I would've liked. See yesterday, but also stay tuned for next Saturday's Wrap Up.
I made oatmeal raisin cookies this week. Woot. They turned out a little dry this time around, which sucks and is weird because it's the same damn recipe I've been using since I was a kid. I also did a round of pulled pork. Yummers. I might make pizza today. Or Cuban sandwiches.
On the activity front, I did three walks for a total of 2.7 miles (27.6 miles for the year so far). I also moved some plastic tubs around and went grocery shopping. (And if you don't think shopping is exercise, you're not doing it right. Or I'm doing it wrong.) Weight: 173.8
The deer are all getting un-pregnant, although we've only seen babies with Sissy and Lumpy so far. They'll come around eventually.
I think a couple of my tomato plants might have buds. Other than that, they're growing big. Nice plants, but make with the fruiting already. Sheesh. One of the pepper seeds I planted has germinated and is about an inch tall. I think it has a friend that is trying to peek through. Two plants producing green peppers would work for me. The trees are doing well. I lost one dogwood to what I assume was a squirrel digging in my pots on the deck. It also got a cedar tree. It dug in my walnut and my hickory, but those are fine. Stupid squirrel. I have weeding I need to get to this week, which I should've started doing last week. I'm blaming the rain.
Speaking of rain, we've gotten about 2.5 inches in the past 7 days, with more on the way this week. Enough already. Sheesh.
And that's about it for me for now. I'm sure there's more, but I'm about done sitting at the computer for this morning. Time to start the day whether I want to or not. Have a great day! And feel free to tell me all the minutiae of your week. =o)
Lots of whooshing going on. I hear that. FB is becoming a PITA. I JUST NOW managed to get a post up on my page. Grrr. Yay for baking and walks. And shopping is too exercise! Moms are keeping the babies out of the rain. They'll be around when it dries out.
ReplyDeleteI like the rain. It's the dang storms rolling through late/early that are taxing me. No storms last night so I crashed hard and didn't roll over until almost 8 a.m. Wowzer! That's been a minute since that's happened. More storms forecast this afternoon. Sunny and hot right now so yeah, the storm dragons are itching to come out and play.
Yesterday was a decent writing day. I'm hoping for the same today.
I got a surprise email with a video and an awesome request that invovled some texting yesterday. That contributed to the whole getting on writing track and will hopefully continue an upward spiral.
The world on both coasts is going crazy. Stupid people. On that note, I think I'm done peopling for the day. I'm gonna go wrangle some Fae. After another cup of coffee.
Have a good one!
