Day 84: Still Raining

 

This morning, I woke up to the sounds of thunder. It didn't last long, but the clouds did roll in; and it rained nearly all day. which only makes the whole place smell dank.

Today is grocery shopping day for the fortnight. I seem to get half the amount of stuff and pay twice as much as I used to. The shelves still aren't fully stocked. So, we might have to be creative in our cooking for a while. I'm also making meals where I can freeze the leftovers for another day.

I also have to pick Hurricane up after school, as Cyclone is going to dance, and Monsoon is at her bestie's (Anty Yace)... truth is I almost forgot. luckily her mum reminded me, and I got there in time. We came home and watch Captain Underpants. Apparently, I'm the only one who doesn't complain when she wants to watch it.

My feet and back are so sore today. It hurts so much to stand and walk. Not even helping if I rest them.

My big chore for today was to switch out all my mum's bedding. The cat, Robson decided it would be a good place to throw up. the little shi*head. Luckily, he did it in the day and not during the middle of the night... Yay, what fun...Not.

Day 83: Quick Update & Other Things

 

I'm tired today. I can't seem to get any decent sleep. no matter how I try it seem to elude me. I'm averaging about three hours a night. I'm sitting here watching my cats and feeling envious that they can just lay down and fall asleep anywhere.

I've watched two 8 episodes series on Netflix recently. The first was The Irregulars> which was series set back in early days of London, where 5 teenagers solve paranormal crimes. for Dr Watson (Sherlock Holmes) ... it was interesting. the second was a series called The Residence> about a murder at the white house during a state dinner... it was pretty funny.

It's been raining on and off all day long. I can tell you; I'm getting tired of it. It's not even smelling nice anymore. Now it just smells dank. I need it to dry out for a bit.

Today I've been working on Woden's Wolves MC 3: When Everything Shattered. It's the story that's speaking to at the moment. So, it's the story that I'm going to write. I'm afraid that's the way my brain is working at the moment. I decided instead of fighting it. I'll go with the flow and see where it takes me.

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.
