Well, here we are after the end of the third week. And as usually happens around this time, I kind of fell down on my goals for the year. Derp. Anyway...
You know the drill... no writing because I'm editing. As for editing, I was plugging along nicely on my second round of edit notes and made it to like 20-something %, then I took Friday off... which led to me taking Saturday off. I'll redouble my efforts today. I have to or I won't hit my self-imposed goal of having this in your hot little hands by Valentine's Day.
I did do a bunch of marketing... well, some marketing... for Ugly and the Beast. I moved 119 free copies and sold 4 copies (3 SU and 1 CU). We'll see if I get subsequent sales. Tomorrow, Unequal goes on freebie. I need to put together some marketing stuff today.
No reading at the moment and thus, no Saturday Reading Wrap-up. Sorry about that.
In baking news, I made pretzel turtles and quickie pizza using hard sandwich rolls. :yawn:
The big news of the week, in case you missed it, was Finn's medical issue. Turns out he has a staph infection in his bladder. And before you ask, we have no clue how he got that. Stress? Not that we can tell. Cleanliness? We aren't super anal about cleaning, but the litter box is scooped several times a day. So, we shrugged and went on with out lives. We switched the cats to purified water and urinary tract health IAMS, just in case. Finn's on meds and the issue appears to be clearing up. The vet was pleased with his progress, but he wants him back on Tuesday for a follow up shot of bladder meds.
Now I'm watching Sawyer like a hawk for signs he picked up this infection.
Anyway, it's all very tiring and I need a nap, even though I haven't actually been up that long.
What's been up in your life?
So glad you have a diagnosis for Finn and that meds will/are working. It's hard when you take a day off. My goal may slide from VD to BD. It's only two weeks later. 🙄🤣
ReplyDeleteI had eye MD appointment last Tuesday and have been fielding texts all week.
Watching the news this morning. Thrilled for the 3 hostages just released. Sad what Israel is having to give up in return. If I were IDF commander, I'd have units in place to take out those prisoners in "accidental" ways after the hostages are safe. Just sayin'...
In less political news, the Chiefs are getting closer to the Super Bowl. I'm thinking about doing a graphic to encourage reading (one of my books--lol) during the Super Bowl. Something along the lines of "If you're only watching for the commercials, grab a book to read in between..." We'll see how motivated I get.
I learned today that Bing will make cute "cartoon illustration" style graphics. I need to play more. I also need to download any images before trying to share on social media because Bing posts just a link that leads to the pic but also a plug for their AI design app. Sneaky.
Reading is slow.
It's freaking cold.
Not much else going on. Stay warm. Edit. Read. Play with cats. Later, tater.
Many hugs to Finn, from me and my Cleo. Any kind of bladder infection is miserable!
