Six more weeks left of 2025 and I'm okay with that. This year has pretty much been a wash anyway.
Still no writing. Every morning, I tell myself that I am going to write today and then I go to bed that night without having written. I did some marketing, though. Huzzah, I guess. I'm still marketing today. For instance, UNEQUAL is free through the rest of today. I'm not sure which book will be marketed tomorrow. Stay tuned.
Very little reading was done. Loads of TV watching, though. Maybe I should do the 'hey, I watched this' instead of the 'hey, I read this' thing. :shrug: Anyway, if you're in the mood for a quirky family movie, try Papadopoulos and Sons.
Last Sunday, I made chocolate banana bread, which was a yummy quick bread. Thursday, I made chocolate bread - a pretty good, if not chocolatey, yeasty bread. I'm thinking about trying to make Irish soda bread this week. We'll see.
As for activity, I managed some work in the woods and some sweeping, plus a minor amount of gardening. And I went grocery shopping. Not really anything major or calorie burning, I guess. Weight: I don't want to know. I feel fat.
The gardening for the week was taking the last of the tomato garden apart. I snipped off the remainder of the above-ground parts and dumped the soil + roots into big pots so they can decompose over the winter and be ready for planting come spring. Or soon, if I decide to overwinter potatoes. I was reading up on that yesterday and it seems like a possibility. We'll see. I also read somewhere that you can overwinter carrots, but I'm not sure where I would get carrot seeds this time of year. Potatoes can be gotten anywhere. You just use a grocery store potato. There's more to it than that, but I don't have all the ins and outs yet. We'll see.
:pause for cat coughing: Ugh, I hate that. No barfing this time. Sawyer must've just gotten a tickle (or a piece of fuzz) in his throat. Ah, the joys of cat ownership. Anyway...
Regular firearms deer hunting season started here yesterday. I can hear shots this morning. Keep your fingers crossed Sonny makes it through. I have no problem with legal hunting, but I'd hate to see Sonny get killed. He's such a nice buck and the herd needs his genes.
Okay, well, I'd better go locate some gumption and get something productive done. At this point, I'll settle for anything. Too bad it's too warm to go into the woods. I need to throw logs.
Have a great day! And leave a comment so I know there are other human beings in the world. ;o)
Hopefully, Sonny is smart enough to stay in the woods close to your house where there is no hunting. When I lived out on an acreage, the deer would moved into my back pasture with the horses during the day. I even had a hunter pull in and stop once, asking to hunt. That was a big ol' nope! I understand the need for hunting. It helps keep the herds, flocks, etc. healthy. But not near my house! And yes, I was scarred for life by Bambi. 😆
ReplyDeleteI got some writing/sorting/organizing done on the book yesterday. Slow progress and I doubt I get a book out this year. 😟 Still, progress.
I walked yesterday. No handicap spaces open. At least the field was the on nearest the parking lot. I really should start taking short walks with the boys now that the weather is nice. I'm lazy.
Still listening to TURN OF FATES. Enjoying it immensely.
Not much else going on. Hope you find your gumption. Later, tater.
