:blink blink: I just woke up and the coffee hasn't kicked in yet, so bear with me.
I did some writing. Not nearly as much as I would've hoped, but life's like that sometimes. I only wrote three days, but I managed to put out 4054 words. The book is up to 14648 words. Not NaNo #s, but better than nothing, right?
This week, I marketed Sleeping Ugly. FB is still hamstringing me, so I get like 3-5 posts up and it tells me they're not letting me post anymore for a while to prevent spamming. Turds. I'm following all the rules of the groups I belong to - like only posting one book and only once every 24 hours - but I'm the spammer. Gah. So, while I got posts out, they weren't all the groups every day, which meant I only moved 57 books instead of my former amounts of 120-150 a week. I did manage to sell a couple others, too, so not a total waste of time. It's just disappointing.
Reading was okay. I finished one freestanding book and then one of the books in that Poirot omnibus. :shrug:
Nothing baked. It's too hot and I'm unmotivated.
On the activity front, I got off my butt 4 days this week. Two walks, some gardening, and some housework. I haven't weighed myself. Again... too hot to be motivated.
In gardening news, the tomatoes all either have flowers or buds for future flowers. Last night we got heavy rain and when I looked out this morning, most of the plants look depressed. I'll need to go out today and shore them up with extra slats and yarn. I hope none of them are actually broken. That'd suck. The trees all look fine. I did manage to repot some of them. I need more dirt and more bigger pots to really do a good job. What the bigger trees really need is to go in the ground, but I'm trying to wait until fall to give them a good shot of living through the deer. After Elmer the Elm's horrific death, I'm hoping young trees without leaves will get ignored and by spring they'll just be part of the landscape and therefore uninteresting.
Ah, Roku... how I love thee. Yes, I have spent way too much time this week vegging in front of the tube. I'm watching Midsomer Murders, Murdoch Mysteries, Doc Martin, Yorkshire Vet, Great British Baking Show, and Hometown from the beginnings. Not binging, just watching an episode each like once a day or once/twice a week. There are a lot of episodes of all those, so yay. I'm also watching Emergency!, Red Green, Dr. G, Mayday: Air Disasters, Forensic Files, and MST3K when I feel like it. When we get done, or we get bored, I'll subscribe to BritBox. I'm looking forward to watching all the episodes of Inspector Morse and Poirot (naturally, Poirot... lol).
Okay, I think that's about it for me this week. How are things in your world?
FB wants you to pay for ads. They will continue to "massage" the algorithms and put brakes on posting until we all submit. Not gonna happen on my part.
ReplyDeleteIt is hot and humid. I understand the no baking and the low activities, but yay for 4 days!
Hang in there on the gardening. Yay for Roku! So glad y'all's tech/connection stuffs are going so well.
Not much new here. We got 5-6 inches in a big sploosh yesterday. Lots of flood warnings but we're in a spot where we just watch run down both streets (we're on a corner and the slope goes down from here on both sides.) I went out with Jake later and there were no puddles. We're on sandy loam--the emphasis on SANDY. It drinks water like a camel coming of a 200 mile hike through the Sahara.
You saw my reading stuff yesteray. Finished off the new-to-me author's book. Shoot. I just remembered I meant to mention something in my GR review and didn't. Need to go fixt that before I distracted again. I enjoyed it for the most part and have started the second book in the series.
I'm debating whether to get a PassionFlix subscription. They're doing a series based on JR Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood. Loved those books but not sure there's enough other stuff on the channel to make it worthwhile. And I can't find any feedback on whether fans are enjoying the series. I also need to catch up with TNT's Return of the Librarians. Those are all on DVR.
Anyway, that's pretty much the stuffs here. I need to go feed the crows. I forgot this morning. 🤦🏼♀️ Don't ever want to make them angry. 🤣
Cheers to a good week for us all. Later, gator.
