Halfway through the year. Woot. It's been a better year so far than a lot of years, even with the Iran thing, so I'm calling it a win.
Writing last week wasn't great, but it was better than the week before, so yay. I ended up adding 2218 words to Shroudlands #2 (Song of Dream and Dragon? Dream of Demon and Shroud? Song of Mage and Shroud? Meh.), putting it at 40970 words total. I'll try to do better this week. I really need to stop overthinking it and just get the damn dirty draft done.
Marketing was lame. FB started the week by being turdy. And it didn't help that this week sucked for sleeping, which meant I woke up last every damn day, which makes getting those important first-thing-in-the-morning posts impossible. Anyway, I moved 19 copies of Thicker Than Water. :sad trombone: I don't think I'll do any marketing this week.
Don't ask me about reading.
In baking news, I made a batch of Outrageous Chocolate Chip Cookies on Sunday. We tore through those by Friday. Yesterday, I tried a different recipe for cookies. I tried halving the recipe, fucked it up, and ended up with what I'm referring to as Retard Cookies. They're tasty and we'll eat them, but they're kinda like a cross between a regular cookie and a florentine. I also made a pizza yesterday and the crust was not right. Not as far off as those cookies, but still. It must've been brainfart baking day.
On the activity front, I did active things on 4 days - yardwork, cleaning, gardening, groceries. (And making pizza counts as exercise, so there.) Weight: 178.4 - yep, lost a pound last week. Imagine if I could lose a pound a week. I'd be at my target weight by the end of the year. Heh, like that'll happen.
Hubs just came in from feeding the deer and informed me that we have 4 fawns down by the pans. Yay. I love fawn times.
Gardening... I harvested Pedro this week. He produced 6 small potatoes. (We ate them, sliced thin and sautéed with chicken and mushrooms. Yum.) I checked the other potato plants and no more potatoes. Several of those plants got pushed back into the ground in hopes they'll continue to grow. Fingers crossed. Nothing else is ready to harvest. Nothing is blooming at the moment. I think I need to re-dirt the tomatoes or refeed them. The peppers and the carrots are doing good, so yay.
My path project is coming along. I'm about halfway through weeding the front rock path than runs along the flower bed. Meanwhile, Hubs has been weeding the whole driveway and he's almost done. He works harder than I do, but then again, he's a dude. He said he'd finish my project when he gets done with the driveway. ENABLER! Anyway, that usually gives me the kick in the ass I need to get 'er done, so expect to see that in my update next week.
And speaking of that, the day's not getting any cooler. Time to get dressed, get covered in bug spray, and get digging. Have a great day and an awesome week. See y'all soon. Peace out.
