Weekend Wrap Up...on Monday!

Thank goodness for the cool air that came with the storms. Except the storms were damaging for a lot of people. There are trees down everywhere and many people are still without power. That all sucks. 

The hot water heater has been installed and is working well. We had to make a trip to the hardware store and almost had to go a second time but found what we needed at home after a lengthy search. The whole thing took a lot longer than expected. The basement floor is almost dry now though. 

Redemption is just about ready to go up. Well, it is ready but I haven't had time to get it done yet. Soon. I'll share the cover soon! 

Other than that... I did get writing done this weekend, which was awesome. 

That's it... I don't have much else you'd care about... Ha!

Behave! 

Hotter Than Hades!

Mother of all that's holy, it's freaking HOT!!! 

I know we're all in the same boat and I know you hate it as much as I do. The stupid air conditioners aren't keeping up. Sleeping is impossible. The flowers are wilted and the sun burns your skin within seconds. 

I'm sad we're not camping but at the same time, I'm not. There is no freaking way I would be a nice person if I was sitting out in this heat. And my poor old gal would not have had a good time. She'll go out to do her business but immediately wants back inside. 

In any event, we got the camper taken care of. Tanks have been dumped (it was borrowed last weekend and the place to dump was closed until yesterday) and we dropped it off for inspection. Ran to two stores and now we are home until Sunday unless we decide to run to The Wilds to visit. That will depend on how the installation of the new water heater goes and how hot it is. 

Sunday is K5's Sweet 16 party. She already has her learner's permit, which is awesome. I'm so excited to see where this kid ends up. 

Redemption has been sent for formatting. I hope to have it up in the next few weeks. I'm not sure which one I'm doing next. I need to do some new writing, so we'll see...

That is all. 

Stay cool!

Behave! 

Feel Good Friday?

Holy Hellfire! It's hot! 

So hot that we've decided not to head to The Wilds this weekend. As much as we want to give the old gal one last camp weekend, she would not do well in the scorch and I don't want her in the creek at all. 

It sucks but it is what it is. 

And the new hot water heater is on the back porch waiting to be installed. I'm not sure how we crammed it into our vehicle but we managed. I had to sit in the backseat but it was way better than having to borrow a truck. 

On the writing front...well, it's been non-existent this week. The most I've done in the last two weeks is a critique, and go through Redemption for self publishing. I need to send it to my friend who will format it for me. The cover is ready, too. I've just been slacking this week. 

Well, not really. It's been a rough week in so very many ways that have nothing to do with the heat. 

All I know is I'm tired in every single way you can be tired. 

That is all. 

Behave! 

Oof! Long Time No See...

Or something like that!

Sorry for the silence. 

I don't have a lot to report. 

Just trying to keep my head above water with everything going on. 

And it's going to be HOT going forward. Can't say I appreciate that but I'm glad air conditioning is a thing. 

That's all. 

Behave! 

Weekend Wrap Up...on Wednesday?

Yeah, it's been like that...

I don't have a lot to say even though there's a lot going on...

It was an okay weekend with a lot of stuff and it's been a b*tch of a week so far. 

We had to order a new water heater. I guess I can't complain too much, the old one was installed 20.5 years ago. But still... We also can't pick it up for another 10 days. So far the old one is holding its own even though it's leaking. 

The dog had a really rough day on Monday. We were worried, but she is back to her normal self now. 

This week has sucked for writing. It's been something every evening. Yeah, I know we've only had two so far but...

It's been one thing after another like that. 

But there's a lot to look forward to coming up! I'm especially looking forward to July 4th weekend and camping. And hanging out with K5 to celebrate her turning 16, though that hasn't been planned yet. (I know! 16! Crazy!)

That's all I have...

Behave! 

Feel Good Friday!

What a week! 

I'm very glad it's over! Except it's stupid hot!

Here's the list:

1. Not burning myself when I broke not only one, but two, coffee pots at the day job. And I broke them back to back in super quick succession. I was holding both - one was empty, and one had been full. After the crack, it spewed hot, fresh coffee all over the little kitchenette. But not on me. All I can say is our little kitchen has never been cleaner and the coffee stain on my knee from scrubbing the floor came out in the wash. 

2. Mexican food. 

3. Not getting as much writing done as I wanted this week but getting some. 

4. Plant sales. 

5. Air conditioning. 

That's all I have. It's supposed to be a little cooler this weekend. I hope. Our weekend days are packed with stuff to do and there might be more poison ivy removal in there. Ew. 

Behave! 

Weekend Wrap Up!

What a beautiful weekend! 

Yeah, it's a little hot but we've been pacing ourselves between indoor things and outdoor things. And the thunderstorm last night was completely disappointing. 

The poison ivy, poke berries, and volunteer trees have been removed. Flowers and plants have been planted, transplanted, and moved. 

The oven has been fixed (again). Laundry has been done. Organizing too. 

No socializing happened and no fire was had. Unfortunately. By the time the wind calmed down last night, we were so tired we knew we wouldn't enjoy it much. So we went to bed early. And we did sleep way past alarm time this morning. 

And I've written quite a bit this weekend in addition to getting Redemption out and into the process of getting it ready to go. I've been going through files too. 

Now we're ready to head into another week. Joy. The work week looks the same as usual. Busy with a side of chaos. 

And that is all. 

Behave!
