Well, we wrapped up the first week of the new year and lemme tell ya, I didn't have this stuff on my bingo card for the year (i.e. the Venezuela stuff, the Iran stuff, the Minnesota stuff). Wow.
Anyway... Writing didn't happen, because I just finished a book and I took the week off. Editing was supposed to start yesterday but, while I did email the book to my Kindle, I didn't do any. I did write a short blurb. And I think I have a title - JUSTICE: PAST DUE. (Sucks, doesn't it. Titles suck.) I do hope to have this book done by the end of the month, so I'd better get cracking.
Marketing happened. I moved 30 copies of PH. I also sold a copy of DE and someone read pages of both TTW and PH, so yay.
I finished that book I was reading, so I have a new Books Read post for 2026, and I'm currently reading The Night Manager by John LeCarre. It's pretty gripping.
In baking news, I made Raisin Pecan Quick Bread. It's super yummy. Yesterday, I did a vat of pulled pork. Also yum.
On the activity front, I did three days of woods work and one day cleaning. Woot. Hang on, I have to go weigh myself... Ack... never mind, you don't want to know. I know I didn't want to know. Weight: 177.8
Speaking of woods work, I moved the summer clean-up pile to the permanent pile. (Summer clean-up pile is for any crap that falls in the yard during the hot months when we don't go into the woods due to ticks and snakes.) Hubs went through all our old firewood and threw out anything that was roached, then reorganized the pallets for more efficient wood use, which gave us a couple of empty pallets for the newly sawn wood. That black cherry tree is probably going to be a couple cords alone. (Don't ask me. I never did figure out how many chucks a woodchuck could chuck or how many logs are actually in a cord.)
The Boyz are currently fighting in what I've begun to call The Box Maze. Some days. Ugh.
Other than that, not much going on. It's pretty same-same here. How are things in your world?
Oh. It just occurred to me after I hit Publish that this is the 11th, so I had to come back to add this. It's my accident anniversary. 32 years today. :shrug: Ya know, this used to be a bigger deal, but now I'm kinda over it.
Yeah, my bingo card is just layin' there, blank and in shock. I've given up watching the news. I just get PO'd.
ReplyDeleteA tiny bit of writing happened around RL. EOW happenings blew any thoughs of writing this weekend just out of my head. Yay for blurb and title, though understood it could be subject to change.
Ymmy foodz. Yay for pile moving and free pallets. That black cherry should smell good when it burns. Yay for Boyz play and BIG YAY for the past mostly being in the past.
Stuff here is. I'm sad. I keep thinkoing I need to figure out a really sad scene for the WIP and write it but there are no words. Med news is good. Weather is seasonal. I'll talk about all that stuff in my post tomorrow.
Enjoy your Sunday. Have a good week! Later, gator.
