Well, here we are again at Sunday morning. I wanted to sleep in today, but my bladder had other ideas. Derp.
No writing this week - it's editing time. Unfortunately, not a lot of that was done either. I think I'm at 13% on my edit notes, which works out to like 2.5 pages worth of notes. Better than nothing, but I need to get my act together if I want to reach the goal of being done with this by the end of the... oh crap, it's the 18th.?! Really? Well, crap. It would take a miracle to get this book finished in 12 days. So, let's say this book's deadline is February. Sometime in February. Before March?
I did marketing. UWC was free and it moved 38 copies. I also moved 2 copies of WIOH at regular price, so there's that. I also moved one copy each of DE and of FG, which I assume is from previous marketing. Yay. And someone's been reading PH in KU. woot. I'm up to like $9 for the month, which isn't gravy, but it's better than a sharp stick in the eye.
I'm still reading The Night Manager. It's slow going because I'm also trying to read my book for edit notes.
This week, I made beef stew, which turned out awesome, and biscuits to go with that (also awesome). Then I made a pineapple upside-down cake. Yummers.
On the activity front, I did a couple days out in the woods throwing logs. Those kicked my ass, which led to not doing anything for a day or two (or five) after each session. I'm not as young as I used to be and I keep forgetting that. So, doing nearly 2 hours in the woods hits me like a 200-pound boxer hits a weakling with a glass jaw. Derp. Let's not talk weight, eh? It was 177.8 last Sunday and I don't expect it's gone down any since. Did I mention the pineapple upside-down cake? Yeah.
Speaking of throwing logs, Hubs is most of the way through moving the piles of firewood he's already made with the chainsaw. And I'm making good progress creating other piles of not-firewood - better known as taking all the crap lying around and moving it to centralized locations. (Can also be known as creating wildlife habitats, but that's tertiary.) The hope for me is to create a glade down there in the woods, with wildflowers and pretty trees. Maybe a gazebo... you know, if I win the lottery or something.
We're trying a new high-protein food for Lumpy. I think she's looking better, but that could just be wishful thinking on my part. This cold snap could be the deciding factor on whether she lives through this winter. It's 10 degrees out there. :shudder:
Speaking of 10 degrees... Umm, yeah, I won't be going in the woods until the air can't hurt my face.
I went to the thrift store this week. No books, but I didn't find a really nifty posthole digger for $7. Woot. Yes, I am a redneck who gets excited about cheap tools. We'll be using the posthole digger to make holes... naturally... which will be used to plant trees. Or at least to get the ground here broken up enough to maybe plant trees. We have a plan.
And on that exciting farm implement news, I think that's it for me. What's been up with you?
