Sunday Update - 2026 Week 15

 Here we are again at the beginning of another week.  Time to look at last week.

Book marketing was done.  I moved 52 copies of Fertile Ground.  From previous marketing, I had page reads of Dying Embers and Song of Storm and Shroud.  Oh, and Wish Hits the Fan goes on freebie starting tomorrow.

Reading is still going slow, but I am reading, so I have that going for me.  I'm about a third of the way through Leadership by Rudy Giuliani.  It's really interesting.

No baking.  Which is good because my EWA doesn't need the calories.  

I was pretty active this week.  I did a hard target walk, vacuumed, worked on the deck garden, and planted trees in the woods.  I haven't weighed myself, though, so whether any of that is starting to shrink my ass?  Dunno.  

Speaking of gardening, Pedro Potato is getting tall.  I have another pot with tiny potato plants coming up, too.  One tomato and two of the peppers have flowers.  The carrots are growing right along and need thinning again.  Then there are the trees.  They all seem to be doing well.  The one unknown tree has been identified as a persimmon, so yay.  Thank you to whatever squirrel or bird planted that seed in my garden last year.  

Speaking of trees, Cecil and Clyde went into the woods.  They're my oldest two cedars and it was time.  When I turned Cecil out of his pot, it was obvious he needed more space.  He was getting rootbound in there.  Clyde probably could've spent another year on the deck, but like I said, it was time.  I can still see Cecil from the house, so yay.  Fingers crossed that nature doesn't harsh my babies.

Pregnancy abounds in the deer herd, so yay.  Lumpy is still rolling along, but does not appear pregnant, which is a mercy.  We also have phoebes nesting under the deck and chickadees using our birdhouse.  I love Spring.

Other than that, life is pretty boring here.  What's up with you?

  1. You had a busy week. Yay for Spring and all the green growing things. Don't forget to mound your potatoes.

    Not much happening here. I had to people this week. A lot. And today being what it is, I was sluggish and out of sorts. Still am. Hopefully, things will start to fade again starting tomorrow.

    Tech shit is still a PITA. I could writie a book. AT&T is trying to "close" U-Verse TV for whatever reasons. Since they bought Direct TV, they want all the grandfathered customers to move over there. There is no new equipment, it's all refurbished. What's crazy is the internet works great! And when U-Verse fails, I can still stream on the smart TVs. DTV might be cheaper and less hassle so we'll probably look into it.

    My book listening has slowed because...peopling. Only wrote a little despite best intentions. Again, I point at my head and claim the whole PTSD. Tired and cranky does not leave much room for creativity. I just want to stay in bed with the covers over my head.

    On that note, I need more coffee. Desperately. Have a great week. Later, tater.
