Sunday Update - Week 4

Yeah, it's not Sunday.  Once again, I forgot Sunday was Sunday until it was way to late to matter anymore.  So, here we are on Monday.  Better late than never, right?

I have edit brain.  Deep in the brambles of word choice and tweakage I forget what day it is, what I'm supposed to be doing, and sometimes who I am.  I missed my deadline last night.  I'm now shooting for Wednesday.  Keep your fingers crossed.  I'm still on track for a mid-March release of In Deep Wish.

Today is day 21 of my 'do something active every day' goal.  Other than Thursday and Friday of last week, I've done something active every day.  Thursday and Friday?  I was under the weather.  (Felt like I should've been under a rock.)  I don't know if I've lost weight yet, but I do feel better.  Yesterday, I went out and attacked the big pile of leaves leftover from November.  It's wet and heavy, and frozen into flats like old shingles, but I hacked away at it.  Then I walked to the bottom of the hill and back.  THEN I came inside and talked Hubs into taking a walk.  We went around the loop (1.25 miles of up and down) and when we hit that last hill, I wasn't dying.  That's progress.

I've read 7 books so far this year.  Which puts me ahead of the goal. Which I need because I will inevitably fall down at some point, and get so busy I don't take the time to read. 

That's pretty much it.  Editing and exercise.  Interrupted by and interspersed with the creeping crud. 

How're things with you?

  1. Good, thanks. I finally got back to some sewing and having basted my Star quilt, I got started on quilting it. Then I ran out of thread - doh! I thought I'd purchased a big enough reel but apparently 300 meters doesn't go that far. Ordered some more and now waiting for it to arrive.

    Very busy workwise though so no chance of being bored there.

    Books - having a re-read January and loving it. Nice to see old friends again.

    Definitely need to start a "do something active" of my own.

    1. Yay for getting back to quilting! Here's hoping your thread arrives soon. Being busy is better than being bored - although sometimes we'd wish for a little boredom now and then. ;o) I love your idea of re-read January. If you start the 'do something active' thing, let me know.

  2. I need to update my GR reads. I have 3 or 4 I can add, 3 I can't until much later in the year because contest reads.

    And I totally understand that whole what day is it and edit brain thing. Yup. Shore 'nuff!

    1. Update those GR books... you know, in your spare time. ;o)

      I think it's Tuesday. It doesn't feel like Tuesday, though, so I'll probably act like it's Wednesday or something.

  3. LOL! I wait for you to tell me it's Sunday. Otherwise the days mostly run together.

    I've gotten a lot done over the past couple of weeks. Released Serpent's Child, finished the second draft of Dragon's Child and sent it off to my beta, and started Alchemy's Child. Yay!

    1. Ack! Then I totally failed you so far this year! At least I've been better about indicating which day is Thursday. =o)

      Go you! Why didn't I see you shouting your release on your blog?? Hmm? tsk tsk tsk. LOL

    2. It is up on my blog! So is a review for Wish in One Hand. LOVE that book!

      Maybe I fell off your blogroll?

    3. Well, crap. When I go directly to your blog, there's your release day announcement and your review. Thanks! Stupid Blogger is having a brainfart.
