Been Wondering Where I Am?
Me, too. Well, I know where I am. I’m in the Central Texas location. I guess the question should have been, “Whatcha doin?” That’s was we always say Ajax is asking Natasha when he approaches her. I know what I haven’t been doing.
I haven’t been writing.
I haven’t been cleaning over at the shop.
I haven’t been decluttering here at the house.
I haven’t been exercising (much).
I haven’t been spending time with hubby.
Those are my priorities (not listed in any particular order). And I haven’t been catering to them. I have spent way too much time cruising the internet. I have spent time writing on 750words.com and have a pretty good streak going on my main account. My alternate account where I think through writing ideas is not maintaining a streak, but I didn’t plan that it would. I’m treating the main account like morning pages, so it’s more a diarrhea of the fingers kind of thing.
I have been doing a little yard work. I did take Millie on an extended walk one night. I did ride my new recumbent bike one day over at the shop after spending a little time unboxing and displaying items for our garage sale in August. I did de-clutter one corner of the upstairs hallway. I did reorganize the one room of the house I hadn’t looked at since moving in three years ago. It’s not the way it needs to be, but it’s much neater now.
I have been reading. Both paper and ebooks. More Kindle app books than paper, but I have two paper books I’m very interested in that are in progress.
A friend and neighbor has invited me to play cards with some friends of hers, and I did that two nights in a row (yes, we’re having a wild time here). I enjoyed that, and I like meeting some new people. I do that very slowly and very poorly, but in time, I do meet them. I dusted off my Spades playing skills. I hadn’t played in probably 25-30 years. I’m doing ok with meeting my bid, but I’ll know I’m doing better when I’m able to add in the strategies for causing other people not to meet their bids (I think the term is “causing them to go set”).
I’ve done a few more conflict cards for PBOTL. I’m working Dot and Line for Fooling Mother Nature. I’ve picked up a few tidbits that might fit into a story idea — either a new one or one already in progress. I’m very pleased that new writing ideas are coming to me, and I’m able to recognize them. For the longest time, that was a huge struggle for me.
Don’t worry about hubby and me. He had to stay in San Antonio to oversee getting the new roof put on the house and continue supporting new grass in the back yard. I’ll be heading his way next week, and we’ll be spending time together again.
