Sorry I spaced out last week and didn't do a Sunday Update. There really wasn't much to talk about that week anyway, but still, it was rude of me. This week... Well, there's not much to talk about either, but here I am.
No writing, but I did do some editing. I really need to get off my ass and get this book finished. In order to do that, though, I need to stop wondering whether anyone actually cares. (Beyond a couple of people, that is. They know who they are and they know how much I love them.) I marketed, but it was pretty much crickets. Tomorrow, Dying Embers goes on freebie, so we'll see if anything comes of that.
In reading news, I started a SF, read about a third of it, and DNF'd it. It wasn't bad. It was just not giving me any reason to finish reading it. I sometimes wonder if that's what other people feel about my books. (Then I remind myself I have plenty of people reading my books all the way through in KU.) I started reading Flight of the Falcon by Daphne duMaurier on Friday, though, so I've got that going for me.
In baking news, I made a chocolate oil cake with strawberry jelly and vanilla frosting. Yummers.
On the activity front, Hubs and I are over the crud finally, so we're making an effort on turning back into humans, as opposed to the slugs we were. While it was still unseasonably warm, we took walks Mon, Tues, Wed for about 2.15 miles. Then it got cool and we worked in the woods Fri and Sat for around 3 hours. I also did some cleaning and shopping. Weight: 176.2 (the poundage I lost to the flu jumped right back on me... derp)
Due to the woods working, I'm pretty sore today. Throwing logs will do that to a body. We're mostly through cleaning up the top branches of that sycamore that fell over 2 years ago, so yay. Funny thing about that sycamore. It turned brittle. I went to saw the limbs and they snapped off in my hands like bread sticks (the crunchy kind, not the Olive Garden kind). Good thing we weren't planning on trying to burn that.
Speaking of the downed sycamore, that bastard tree took out two perfectly good dogwoods when it crashed. I've got a large chunk of the bigger dogwood that I may try to carve into someone once I get some carving experience. I'm thinking I need to carve a dog out of the dogwood, or would that be too obvious? :smirk:
Oh, and I got our taxes done yesterday. Woot. If you're using TurboTax, you have until 2/28 to do them at a discount. Which was enough of a poke in the ass to get me to do mine.
I think that's it. I'll try not to forget to post on Sundays from now on. Have a great day and an awesome week. :hugs:
