It wasn’t pretty. My Center of Balance was horrible. I was so bad, it made me practice after measuring, and it felt strange. I’d never had to practice Center of Balance before — I didn’t know it had that capability, but it does. I went on to do fifteen … Continue reading →
Still on track, but I’m not gaining any ground yet. I’d prefer to do that. I made chicken enchiladas for the first time tonight, and I think they turned out pretty well. They were more flavorful than many I’ve eaten in restaurants. Hubby suggested I spread more picante sauce to … Continue reading →
But I don’t remember exactly how many I wrote, because I did it last night before going to bed, so I could play with hubby today. We found a round rug for the dining room today. 7’11”. That’s going to cover a lot of the dining room floor! But the … Continue reading →
It’s been a busy day in a lazy sort of way. I stayed caught up on my NaNo word count — 35,344. We got the roll top desk moved into the house from where we placed it when the movers delivered back in May. I took this opportunity to set … Continue reading →
It’s been a productive week of cutting down trees and overgrown shrubs. About 1030 this morning, I had all the tree waste possible piled and waiting for the trash removal people to haul it away tomorrow morning. I still had several more carts to put out, but figured it would … Continue reading →
On my end? Probably not a lot. I’m still reading. I’m beginning Holly Lisle’s How to Think Sideways: Career Survival School for Writers at a beta student. I’ll be working that (requires a new project — oh darn) along with planning the Twilight rewrite. I do plan to incorporate what … Continue reading →
Today, we got the kitchen sink I mentioned we were looking for last September. It’s an old porcelain double drainboard, large, shallow bowl sink from the 40s with an 8″ backboard. When we redo the kitchen in the “new†house and move our 1959 Kenmore stove up there, we’ll be … Continue reading →
I’m in San Antonio, and we’re trimming bushes and doing general yard work. There’s a lot more to do, but we’re knocking it out a little at a time. Thankfully, we’re finally getting some rain, and it’s coming just the way we need it. Brief showers that stop long enough … Continue reading →
I picked the first crop off the fig tree today. Usually, we don’t get to them before the birds, but this year, I’ve managed to get about 20-25 ripe ones.
Continue reading →Today I may have had my last in-person contact with my old life – my friend and former co-worker stopped by on her retirement decompression tour, and we shared breakfast, tours of the house and ranch, and general catching up on what we’ve missed for the last month. I still … Continue reading →
