Sitting here right now, after waking up late, the past week is a blur. Let's see if I can recreate it.
I only got out 4018 words last week. That's three night's worth of writing. Not great, but could've been worse. I'll be working toward a better week this week. On the upside, the writing I did get out is really fun. I mean, it was fun to write, so it should be fun to read, right?
Marketing happened. I still only moved 10 copies of Sleeping Ugly. FB being up to its usual tricks hampered some of it. I think FB is also shadow-banning me. Not much I can do about that. I'm not in a position right now to pay for ads, so I guess I get what I get and I'd better like it. Last month's sales totals were 4.73 books for like $9.43. I'm rich, I'm rich, I'm a wealthy miser. Umm, yah.
In baking news, I made Outrageous Chocolate Chip Cookies again. Other than that, it was way too hot to turn on the oven.
On the activity front, I mostly did stuff in the greenhouse - watering, moving plants around, repotting stuff. I also did a bit of cleaning. I weighed myself at one point and it wasn't good, so I didn't jot down of the exact number. Weight: around 180.
Speaking of greenhouse activity, I harvested my oldest pot of carrots. And :drumroll: there were no viable carrots in there. Loads of greenery, but maybe a half dozen piddlin' things that wouldn't even qualify as baby carrots. I tossed the lot of them into the yard. Then I took an empty pot and planted a new batch of carrot seeds for fall harvest. We'll see. I repotted a couple of peppers, so they have more room to grow. I also added more dirt to a few of the pots that looked like they needed it. I'm watering every two days and everything seems to be fine. I have flowers on a couple of my tomato plants, so yay. Also, the beefsteak looked like it was growing roots on one of its branches, so I snipped that off and poked it into its own dirt. Fingers crossed there. Oh, one more thing, I harvested some more potatoes. I got about 6-8 potatoes big enough to eat... fingerlings, so they're small anyway... and a few potatoes I can replant.
This week, we saw a mama raccoon and her 4 babies. Yay. The deer are doing fine, the fawns are growing like weeds. Lumpy, on the other hand, is not doing well - which sucks, but there's nothing we can do about it. She's an old deer. I just hope her foster fawn does well without her. Then again, we've done a death watch on Lumpy before and she's pulled through. Time will tell.
Today, we're talking about cleaning windows. yippee. I know it needs to be done, I'm just not motivated at the moment. I need more coffee to jumpstart my gumption.
Okay, I should probably toddle off. Have a great day and an awesome week.
