Wow, I totally brainfarted out there yesterday, didn't I? Last night, I was sitting here playing poker when something flashed in my head like a mental meteorite strike... "It's Sunday, isn't it?" So, here we are on Monday with the Sunday Update. Sorry about that. For some reason, I thought yesterday was Monday. Don't ask.
Anyway, I have finished all but the formatting and uploading of Rumor Has It. And I still need to do a Goodreads listing. I had planned to do all of that yesterday, but yesterday didn't go as planned. Obviously. I was so totally not in a place to do anything that required thought. I printed off my formatting checklist in hopes that eventually my brain would turn over, but like a sad car, it just kept doing that rrr rrr rrr noise. Of course, as soon as my head hit the pillow the old brain was all like 'Hey! Hi! Remember when you did that one thing in 1982... 1975... 1999...? Let's revisit those events from every possible angle! And plan a garden! A think about the cat! And decide what to do about dinner! Did you remember to do that spreadsheet? I want a puppy!"
Anyway... the plan is to drink loads of coffee and get to work today. Except I have to run out for smokes at some point. My brain, having been up all night, is ready for a nap, so I'd better get this post done before it falls asleep again.
Those of you who are anxiously waiting for Duke, have pity on me.
As for the rest of the week...
I read a couple pretty good books. And I'm in the last half of reading another good one.
I made apple bread again.
On the activity front, I've started working in the gardens again. Getting the leaves removed and weeding. I also took a couple walks. Weight: 184.6 - down a pound.
As for gardening, I bought a new peony and planted it yesterday. I also bought some more hollyhocks which will go in as soon as I clean out the garage bed. And I bought three packs of vegetable seeds and a bag of dirt to start my container garden. Hubs went into the garage and found a boatload of old containers I'd kept from all the plants I've planted over the last eight years. So we're good to go on that. To start, we'll have a go at tomatoes, lettuce, and carrots. I'm also going to try planting zucchini in the rosebed. I'll talk about the plans more tomorrow or something.
During said yardwork, I torqued my wrist or something. I have craptastic wrists, so it's not surprising or even concerning. It is however, hard to do anything with my hands when my wrists are being stupid. I spent a lot of yesterday with my old friends, Aspercreme and Aleve. I also trotted out my really old friend Ace Bandage. It's better today.
I'm sure there are other things that happened, but it's Monday, and I really need to get going today. (Which is why I generally write this posts on Sunday. Derp.) Have a good one. And if you're inclined, leave a comment. =o)
You've read what my weekend was like because you left a comment. LOL We're forecast for rain today. We need it.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of flowers, I've mentioned that I had no daffodils blooming on my b-day, which is a very rare occurrence. I figured those sub-zero temps probably wiped them out this year. Nope. Almost every clump of daffodils are in full bloom now. The bluebells are also coming up, and the nicotania leaves are clumped. The leaves last until late summer, then they die and all the sudden the flower spikes appear. No sign of the peony yet and the honeysuckle still appears dead. That makes me sad. I love the scent of honeysuckle wafting in my office window on a warm spring/summer day.
Not much else in my world. This is my last stop (I always save the best for last 😉 ) so gonna pour another cuppa and stare at the WIP for a bit.
Have a great week! And I'm all over Duke once he goes live. 😁
