The internet says it'll be week 48 this week, so last week had to be week 47. It's gotta be right, right? I went and counted the weeks left in the year and it's 6 weeks, unless you don't count the half week at the end there. :shrug: I guess you don't count it. Oh, well. Anyhooway...
I wrote this week! 5 out of 7 days worth. Woot. I ended up with 5505 new words. Yay. And DN3 is up to 34056 words. Also woot. I think I have the basics of the who did what, now it's up to Duke to catch the culprit(s). Of course, plot holes abound. I'll spackle those after I'm finished.
I also did some marketing this week. After my mental snafu, of course. I ended up moving 29 free copies of SU and one person read the book all the way through in KU, so I have that going for me. Not sure what this week will bring. Hopefully, not the same as last week where I forgot that I remembered to set a book to free.
As for reading, I'm still working my way through The Martian. It's good. I just don't have the same reading stamina I used to. For instance, I read for about an hour a couple days ago, and the next day, I could feel it in my neck and shoulders. Derp. Getting old blows.
Speaking of getting old, laying around like a lump of oatmeal doesn't do a body any good. My activity level sucks. I need to rectify that effectively immediately. It's not that I did nothing last week. I did some vacuuming and some gutter cleaning. I also swept the deck (because I made an unholy mess of it cleaning that section of gutter). All told, though, it wasn't enough to balance the amount of food I shoved in my face. I stepped on the scale on Thursday and had gained 2 pounds from the last time I weighed myself. :sad trombone: Weight: 176.2
Speaking of shoving food in my face, I made brownies last week. Mmm... brownies. Warm brownies... with ice cream... :drools:
Other than that, I didn't do much of note. Watched TV. Saw a couple of neat movies. Not really anything major.
This coming week, I need to get outside and do stuff. Today, I'll rake with Hubs. Once that's done, I'll get to work on the trail we've got planned to make an easy access to the fallen trees. I'll be buying a sled-thingie for moving logs up the hill, so that trail is a necessity. There's already a type of natural trail there. It just needs cleaning up. So, I'll be working on that. And I'll write words. More words. Woot. And it's Thanksgiving week, which doesn't actually mean a whole lot here. Hubs will cook a turkey, I'll make pumpkin cheesecake. We'll eat like pigs.
Oh, and the family thing? It's pretty much addressed as much as we can address it. For now. We're not sure it's over, though, so there's that hanging over our heads like a rotted limb that could fall at any time. :shrug:
And that's about it for me. How was your last week?
