Well, we're bombing the hell out of Iran. Yay. The Ayatollah is dead. Also yay. We're hitting military targets, those fuckers are hitting civilian targets. Not so yay and also proof that what we're doing needs to be done to completion and not half-assed like the Gulf War. The good people of Persia are happy we're doing what we're doing. Anyone not happy can go pound sand. But they better do it fast before we turn it into glass. Glass up your ass. :gigglesnort:
Anyway, my life...
No writing or editing. I'm not sure when I'll do that again, but I'm not calling it quits, so the blog title stays. I did some marketing, which for some reason took off like a rocket and garnered me some sales. I finished February with 17.16 books sold for $29.76. Not big money, but better than a sharp stick, so I'm happy. And I've already got page reads this morning so my March dashboard doesn't look like a ghost town. I'm not sure which book I'll pimp tomorrow, so stay tuned.
I read two books on wood carving this week. One on whittling and the other a more comprehensive volume. I'm also slowly making my way through The Flight of the Falcon by Daphne duMaurier.
No baking.
Activity... It was a busy week for me. I did something active 5 out of 7 days. Early in the week, when it was still cool, I worked in the woods. Other days, I did cleaning projects. One day I did gardening. I surprised myself by actually discovering visible biceps. Woot, I have muscles again! Unfortunately, I also ate like a horse this week, so... Weight: 177.2 =op
My wood carving hobby is getting exciting. Like I said, I read two books about it, and since my tools arrived on Friday, I can now get started learning by doing - which is my preferred way to learn anyway.
As for gardening, I moved all my baby trees outside. I also filled pots with dirt and I'm ready to plant carrot seeds. I'll be ready to plant potatoes once I cut my starter spuds into quarters, dry those cut edges, and buy more dirt. All things in their own time, I guess. I'll also be planting tomatoes once the local store starts carrying seedlings. Oh, and I have three green pepper plants that made it through the winter in my spare room, so those'll be going into pots and outside once the weather is guaranteed to not turn to freezing.
All in all, life is pretty good here. I'm busy-busy, even if it's not writing related, and I'm okay with that. (Not super-okay, otherwise, I wouldn't feel the need to go on and on about it, but okay enough for now.)
How are things in your world?
Saw a tweet today that sort hit the Iran nail on the head. "Muslim countries that support today's US strike on Ira: Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey, UAE, Bahrain. Muslim country that DO NOT support today's US strike on Iran: France, United Kingdom." I would add the the US Left as well. I lost two college classmates when the despot took over. They were minor royals and part of the military at the time. They and their "student" bodyguards all perished. I pray the Iranian people actually stand up for themselves and take their country back. Also, go Trump!
ReplyDeleteYay for your new hobby and your gardening.
No daffodils/jonquils blooming today. It's the first year in awhile I haven't had at least one bloom on my day. Mother Nature has been on a drunken binge so I'm not surprised.
I won't talk about writing it you won't...
Other than watching some irate people make fools of themselves at Wallyworld last week, no excitement in my life. LOL
TIme to grab a shower. We have soccer this afternoon.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend and have a great week!
