Sunday Update - 2026 Week 46

 Oops.  I almost forgot it was Sunday.  Then again, I've been a bad little blogger lately anyway, so... :shrug:

No writing this week, but I am making progress on the editing.  I finished my old edit notes for DN3 (Truth be Told) and started making more.  I'm up to 46% as of this morning.  I also found a new title for Old Magic (now Hex in the Family) and renamed the MC, which then made me rename a tertiary character.  Lots of find/replace going on there.  It feels good to be working again.  

Unfortunately, I'm not marketing again this week, and my sales are a pinch above rock bottom for the month. (i.e. I'm sitting at a penny's worth of royalties. Derp.)  I might put something up for free this coming week.  Truth be told, it's kind of freeing to not be marketing every damn morning, but against the lack of sales, I haven't decided which weighs more.  Tune in tomorrow for the answer.

In baking news, I made two loaves of pumpkin cranberry bread.  I used my usual recipe for pumpkin bread and then threw about 2/3 of a bag of fresh cranberries into the batter.  It was yum.

On the activity front, I've been back in the woods, so yay.  Not much else active has gone on, though.  Some greenhouse stuff, some deck sweeping, some groceries.  I hope to do better this week.  Weight: ?

The greenhouse is still green, despite the recent cold spell.  I haven't been inside it in a few days, but looking at it through the plastic tells me everything is okay in there.  I still have peppers working on getting bigger, and tomato flowers.  :shrug:  My trees are doing well.  I took the cedars out of the greenhouse to acclimate them to the outside temps.  Plans are for those to go in the ground soon.  I also have my one remaining redbud, my black cherry, my persimmon, and my buckthorn outside, getting ready to go in the ground.  I'll be scouting locales for them this week.

Wandering in the woods again is great.  Unfortunately, there's quite a bit of new deadfall since Spring that we'll have to deal with. An elm fell over, along with a couple of cedars and a few smaller trees.  Sad. :shrug:  It's good exercise.  And that's the whole point of cleaning up the woods.  Well, it makes everything look nice, too, I guess.

Other than that, not much going on around here.  What's going on where you're at?
