Day 82: Another one Done

 

I'll start off by saying that I managed to get the 5K added wordage into Cotter's Girls 1: TASH...  and I have decided to finish Crossroads 1: The Smile Made Me Do It. So, I'm happy that I'm mostly back on track with my writing schedule

We have another overcast and drizzly day. I might love the rain, but it's a pain in the ar*e because I can't get out and mow. Once again, my wash will have to be hung inside

My big chore for today is to get the spiderwebs down and mop my floors; even though I hate mopping when it's damp out because they take so long to dry.

Hurricane was so excited on Friday when she came home from swimming lessons, and she had been moved up a level. I had little Monsoon while the other two went swimming. So, she was on my old tablet and doing her work like Mar-Mar (me). She was so proud of herself.

Today I'm also cooking up pasta sauce so I can portion it out into meal sizes and freeze it for later use. It always tastes better when it's been cooked for a while... well, at least I think it does.

Day 81: Soundtrack Time (A little eclectic)

 

Day 80: I hate being sick

 

Today is snuggle up with a nit beverage and read kind of day. My damn cold is back. I think I must nearly be due for my flu shot, or something.

I'll take my time doing my chores today. I can't get out and mow because its overcast and drizzly. So, the grass is wet. Which is good because I don't have to go out and water the plants today. My chilli bush is thriving, and the new parsley plants are doing good.

Writing wise: Yesterday, I finished The Dark Frost 2: Running Home to You; and I started doing the 5K flesh out on Cotter's Girls 1: Tash. I'm hoping I actually finish it today. Next on my agenda will be finishing off one of the other books on my working on now list. Either Elsewhere Realms 2: Stepping Through Cracks... or Crossroads 1: The Smile Made Me Do It. I guess you'll know in the next couple of posts.

Day 79: Now & Next

 

Just another awesome picture to start off this post. I must admit I really love crows, ravens, and any other black birds.

Today I'm on the tail end of Dark Frost 2: Running home to you. I'm hoping to have it finished today. It turned out a little different than even I had anticipated.

Next, I'll definitely go back and do a slight rework of Cotter Girls 1: TASH and flesh it out some because being 5K short is annoying the hell out of me.

If it doesn't rain, I'm going out to mow a bit of my paddock, before the grass gets too long again. If I do a bit every day it should keep it down.

I'm also going to sweep and mop my floors. they really need it. mind you I usually sweep every day; just with all the wind it forever feels like the floors are covered in dust and considering I don't wear shoes in the house, I hate the feel of it.

Day 78: A little bit brisk

 

Even though we aren't yet in our cold months. We woke up to a real chilly morning, so it is long pants and a jumper kind of day. I might even have to put some socks on and my beanie.

I'm heading toward 40K on Dark Frost 2: Running Home to You. It's just taken on a twist that I wasn't expecting. and now I have to figure out how to get it back on track. 

I can't slack off again. I want to get the stories written this year that I had planned on getting finished. My goal is by the end of the year to have a few series nearly almost finished before I start subbing them out to different places.

My new neighbours moved in this week. I haven't met them as yet and considering we don't exactly live side by side. I probably won't. I can remember when I was a kid. we knew all of our neighbours. These days we rarely even speak to the people we live near. I kind of miss the old days.

I have to pick up Hurricane form school today, because she no longer attends dance, and has requested to stay at my house so we can watch movies together... Oh what fun.

Day 77: Back in the swing of things

 

This right here is what my life feels like today. I couldn't seem to concentrate on a damn thing. I had so much to do and probably only got half of it done.

As you know I finished Dark Frost 1: Accidentally Yours... and I'm back to working on #2: Running Home to You. which I'm hoping to have finished by this weekend at some stage. By the time #2 is finished that will be 3 books complete for this year.

I want to go back through Cotter Girls 1: TASH and add at least 5K to it. I think it may be lacking in some parts; where I believe it needs more clarification.

I'm tired today. there is a virus going around and I feel like I may be coming down with it. I hope not, but I feel run down. It didn't help its hot today.

Hurricane has really sore feet and legs after walking 4.2km with her mum while Cyclone had dancing yesterday. she has decided from now on she'll come and stay with me on those days.

Day 76: Happy Saint Patrick's Day

 

I hope today that everyone is dressed in green and enjoying the day as much as possible. May the luck of the Irish be with us all. If I wasn't feeling like crap. I would be enjoying a pint along with everyone else.

Today I've been working on The Dark Frost 1: Accidentally Yours. I have almost finished book one. I'm hoping to get all finalised so I can quickly jump back in and finish book 2: Running Home to You.

Good news: My daughter fixed her washing machine, so at least I don't have to wash anymore of her clothes. I have enough of my own. I did all the bedding yesterday (5 loads), and today I have just the normal household washing (4 loads). at least then I will be all caught up.

On that note today will have to be short and sweet because I want to get all my chores done. While I have been ill, some jobs have fallen by the wayside; and I'm determined to get caught up on them all today.
