Day 11: Hurting Today

After doing my physio exercises today. I'm not sure what hurts more. My arm and shoulder; or my back. But at least I got them knocked out for today. I will have to have a talk with my physio guy on my next visit. I'm also going to have to invest in a heat pack of some kind. the physio told me I would need it and now I understand why.

I'm on a deadline today, I have to get at least 6.2K if I'm to finish my story my tomorrow night... that will mean 6.2K tomorrow as well. So today I'm going to try and get as much done as I possibly can.

Today at some stage I have to clean out my fridge. It's long overdue. I haven't done it in a couple of weeks; and now it is annoying the hell out of me. Same with my freezer. When my guests were here things got put in the wrong places and I need to put everything back to rights before it drives me insane. Well, more than it is right now.

I'm tired today, and the day hasn't even started. Looking out the window right now it's all overcast, so I daresay we are in for some more rain, if not a storm. I love the rain in general, but I can't wait for the ground to dry out.

Day 10: Rainy Days

 

Today is all overcast again. We look like we're going to have another storm today. Which means I'll be doing yardwork again before you know it.  I hear thunder. It won't be long now.

Day 2 of physio exercises, and they aren't getting any easier. Which probably means they will eventually start working ━ God, I hope so.

I did a bit more decluttering today. sometimes I think; the more I clean the messier it gets. I have to believe there is going to be a damn light at the end of this tunnel. It will be much easier when I can trade the couple of bits of furniture with my daughter; that way I can finish setting things up the way I want them to be.

Still working on fixing The Halloways 1: Blood Ties. I have 15.3K to add while I'm fluffing and about four questions still to answer. I've got 3 days to finish if I want to meet mt deadline. I know it's doable as I just have to try and write 5.1K a day. Luckily, for me, it's the weekend.

On that note I better end off as I still have to meet my quota for today.

Day 9: Birthday Wishes

 

Happy 35th birthday to my daughter. 

Glad you survived this long.

Even happier your three girls - give you a taste of what you put me through,

Love you to death - even if you do drive me crazy sometimes.

2025 is going to be a great year.

Day 8: Bowie

 

Happy Birthday David Bowie ~ Miss you every day. 

May you forever live on through your music.

This is my favourite of all time.

Enjoy...

Day 7: Little Fingers

 

Today I have to finish tidying up after Hurricane and Monsoons visit yesterday. They thought it would be fun to play dress up in Mar-Mar (that's me) shoes. So, now I have to go around the house and find them all because my shoe rack is looking pretty bare. Not that I own many shoes.

I also need to find the cap off my USB flash drive and round up any toys I might have missed yesterday. and the clothes they insist on stripping off as soon as they walk through the door. Still, I have to admit they sure do make life interesting. They eat me out of house & home, but I would give them up for all the money in the world.

Though in saying that... 21 more days until school starts up again ━ not that I'm counting or anything. Who am I kidding. I'm definitely counting.

On another note: I'm off to physio tomorrow afternoon I'm finally getting my arm seen to as well as getting my back looked at again. I'll let you all know what happens.

Day 6: Out of Sorts

 

I'm out of sorts today, and truthfully, I'm not even sure why. I mean I slept well. I remembered to take my tablets. I've even done most of my chores. the good news is this week I've even lost 1kg (2.205lb). I just feel like I have an underlying migraine... I'm used to migraines-this one just seems to be annoying. It could be because I've really cut back on my soda intake (Pepsi Max).

Heck, I even wrote the last chapter on my first book for 2025. The book isn't finished by a long shot; now I have to go back through and fill in all the holes. But at least the book didn't end on a cliff hanger. Now I know how it ends it will make it much easier to write the rest. that's what I'll be doing over the rest of this week. I did realise while writing this book the series name will definitely have to change since I went in a completely different direction.

I have two of my grandbabies today while the third goes to dance practice. Good news is they're only here for a couple of hours; bad news is its Hurricane and Monsoon. I love them to death. Let's just hope they're in the mood to watch tv today.

the weather is playing silly buggers again. one minute its 22⁰ Celsius and the next day it drops right back down to 16⁰ Celsius. No wonder we keep getting sick. It's supposed to be Summer. I wish the weather would make up its mind. 

On that note I can almost hear my little she devils arriving. So, I will talk to you all again tomorrow.

Day 5: Smile at a Stranger

I've decided to break through my barriers and smile at a stranger each time I leave the house, (not in a creepy kind of way), but you never know what someone else is going through and a smile might be just what they need.

I've also thinking I'm going to have to do a rewatch of Wednesday and Stranger Things before the release the next seasons in each show. At the moment I'm watching Vera on Brit Box, I'm up to season ten, so I only have a couple more seasons to go. I've really been enjoying it. I like to watch a couple of episodes of something after I'm done writing for the day... it just helps me unwind.

You'll all be happy to know that I'm almost at the end of my washing. Who knew having a few extra people in the house for a couple of days would create so much. It wouldn't have taken me half as long if it hadn't rained like nearly every day since they left, and I've mostly had to hang everything inside. Luckily, yesterday the sun stayed out and I managed to use the outside line for that lot of washing.

I need to have a haircut today. It's getting to the length where it's starting to annoy me. So, I guess I'll be pulling the clippers out this afternoon and crossing that job off my list. During my stocktake of the pantry yesterday. I realized I had four bottles of salad dressing. I guess I can cross that off the shopping list. I'm going to have to teach myself to go through the pantry in the couple of days leading up to grocery shopping to know what I need and what I don't. Right now, I'm trying a method of having everything on a list and I cross it off when it's used and add it on when I buy new to replace. I'm going to try the same method with my freezer foods as well. I'll let you all know how it goes

On that note I'll say goodbye as I have to go downtown and buy some water, (we can't drink our tank water) when I get home, I'm getting stuck back into my write for today.
