Feel Good Friday...in Crazy Town

Yep. That's where the week stayed... well I said "this" side of crazy town, but we fully went into town! 

And it's stuff you don't care about like work. 

So remember my last post when I said I had dinner in the crockpot for the next day? Well... guess who left the crockpot on "warm" all day instead of the right temperature? And guess who had to throw out dinner due to the chance of bacteria? Yeah, I was not a happy camper. 

Anyway... Let's have some feel good, shall we? 

1. Pancakes for dinner after the crockpot disaster.

2. Not having to cook last night. 

3. Making serious writing progress - maybe not with actual words but with figuring stuff out--which is almost as good. 

4. Tonight's plans. Our nephew is coming over for dinner. It's been forever since we've seen him. 

5. Light weekend plans. There will be more writing organizing and yard work and laundry and ... blah blah blah. 

6. Let's not forget the sleeping in part. Ha! 

That's all I have. 

Behave! 

Tuesday Ramblings...

This is, again, one of those Tuesday that should be a Monday. 

Monday itself wasn't so bad. Today, however, has been one thing after another, busy, and just 'this' side of crazy town. 

But the weather is lovely. It's chilly enough that I am wearing my favorite pj pants and a sweatshirt. No socks yet. 

The laundry is done. As is the vacuuming. That Man and I made a banging dinner. Dishes are done and dinner for tomorrow is in the crockpot ready to go on in the morning. Yeah, it seems like I'm organized, but that's a big fat lie.

Maybe partly on the outside. 

On the inside I'm second guessing this book and everything that goes along with it. Part of my brain knows exactly how things need to be and the other part is doing everything possible to get in the way. I'm at a crossroad where I need to decide if I'm going to start over, or continue to build on what I already have. 

So...

Maybe I'll have an epiphany in my sleep. Or, I'll do what one of my critique partners suggested and send it for fresh eyes... Which is probably what I'll do. 

And that is all...

Behave! 

Weekend Wrap Up...

Oops! I missed Feel Good Friday! 

That's because That Man and I escaped work early and had a lovely afternoon just goofing off. We went to lunch and then did some shopping. Came home and chilled. Very nice.  

Saturday night we went to dinner with friends. Well friends and family. We had a blast at a great little brewery along a creek and we scheduled our next dinner, which is awesome. 

Today we tackled a project we've been trying to get to for a very long time. Our housemates helped with the heavy lifting and we got things in shape in no time. I'm so happy it's done. 

Now I'm showered and ready to write. Dinner is marinating and we'll soon start cooking since the housemates have plans tonight. 

The writing is going. Slow, but steady. I'm watching Supernatural and getting to the pages. 

Also, the weather is gorgeous.

That is all... 

Behave!

Holiday Weekend Wrap Up

First off... September!! 

Okay...where to start? 

*My foot - I ended up on antibiotics and it's healing nicely now. 

*My other foot - symptoms are clearing and I'm left with residual irritation. (I also bought new shoes so that helps)

*The camper - repairs made and the grandkid slept in comfort and safety Friday night. 

*Lack of writing - no change. 

*The weekend - we had a blast at camp. I'm exhausted, but it was a very nice weekend. 

*My dog - a cyst burst on her front leg and now she has an open sore. K4 is cleaning it and keeping an eye on it, and we called the vet to get antibiotics. Especially after she decided to get into the creek. I know it's always something when they get to be her age. 

*Soccer - B's team tromped it Saturday, but lost Sunday. Sad times. 

That is all...

Behave! 

The Suck...

I'm not sure where my grumpiness is coming from but it might be because of...

My foot - I rammed it into our metal glider in the backyard last Tuesday. Let's just say it's red and swollen enough that I sent my doc a message. I have had my booster shot so no worries there, but it's irritating. 

My other foot - I guess it's plantar fasciitis or something like that. It hurts. I have a spiky ball I'm using, but... I guess we'll see. I do know it takes a long time to go away. 

The camper - We need to do some repairs before the next camp out. It's a known issue, but still irritating. Oh well... 

I'm tired... 

Lack of writing time. Now it's wearing on me. 

On the other hand, this weather is gorgeous. I'm looking forward to the long weekend. And hopefully some writing. 

I am pretty sure I have my conflicts figured out. So now I can get off my butt and actually make progress! 

That is all! 

Behave!

Weekend Wrap Up... On Monday...

That weekend sure went fast...

Absolutely zero writing done for me. I did brainstorm with K3 for a bit. I didn't even have a chance to turn my computer on at all, though I prepped to. It just never happened. 

We had the boys Saturday night. Little B fell out of bed. He doesn't remember. It was a very short fall and he didn't even wake up.  It was loud and I figured it would wake the whole house. But it didn't. He woke up at 5am and said, Oh hey, I'm awake. I told him only crazy people were awake at that time. But there we were. 

Mr. B had his first soccer game of the season. They whooped the other team badly. 18-0, with Mr. B making 6 of those goals. It was a fun game to watch. 

The windshield wiper part doesn't work. 

The Jeep parts came. 

I'm tired. 

That is all. 

Behave! 

Feel Good Friday!

For a week that wasn't supposed to be busy... Ha! 

I'm just glad it's over! I'm tired. 

I have a list, but I don't think you could call it all "Feel Good"...

1. Living through this week. It was a doozy! 

2. Working on the pages. Making progress, albeit slow progress. Still kinda stuck but feel like I'm going in the right direction. 

3. The weather. I really like not sweating! 

4. My dog being happy even though her lumps are growing and she struggles to get up sometimes. She's eating well, and even wants her ball thrown sometimes. As long as she's happy, I'm happy.

5. The windshield wiper part coming in. Nothing sucks more than having to manually work your wipers. 

6. Not-so-feel-good is waiting for the other part for the Jeep that was ordered first and was supposed to be delivered Wednesday. Now they're saying tomorrow. It spent four days at one hub in Kansas, which is irritating and annoying. 

7. Looking forward to hanging with my boys tomorrow night. 

8. Not-so-feel-good is missing someone I have no way to get ahold of. I think about them all the time and hope they are happy. I just want them to know that I love and miss them and hope they reach out soon. (Yes, this one is cryptic, but that's the best I can do...)

That's all I have at the moment. 

Behave!
