It’s time to regroup and reclaim my space. LOL
Another week was exhausting for me. My granddaughter, Miss M, spent 99% of the week with me, which includes taking to and picking up from school and staying overnight Monday through Saturday while dad trained a new manager on second shift. Whew! That was a long sentence.
Keep in mind that I live alone, not counting Simon, and have established somewhat of a routine. It’s nothing to have that routine disrupted for a short period of time, but to have it disrupted for that long is well—disruptive. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE Miss M, and she’s very self-sufficient. I think it’s more the fact that there’s someone else in the house for that length of time that throws me out of whack. Luckily for me, it doesn’t happen very often.
Did you manage to grab the Grinch socks from McDonald’s
last week? I don’t know what I was thinking when I took Miss M to McD’s after school
on Tuesday, the 2nd, when they went on sale. We waited in the drive-thru
line for a bit of time that felt like eons, and for the bargain price of $25 for
two Grinch meals, we finally scored a pair of red and a pair of green ones.
Miss M prefers the red ones but also claimed the green ones.
Christmas movies have kicked into high gear since the first of the month. I do have my favorites and look forward to watching them at least once, if not twice. And now that I grabbed the special Black Friday special for Disney+, I get to watch a number of my favorites anytime I want. Plus, those Hallmark favorites are in the cloud on my DVR and just a click away as well. Do you have a favorite you watch this time of year?
I got a bit more done on my current WIP, but not as much as I would have liked. This book is part of a series/collection set in a small fictional town in northern Wisconsin (my home state). The word count that is required is 17K to 30K, and I’m sure my story will fall somewhere in there. Not sure where it’ll lean closer to as it all depends on what my characters are telling me and how much. I know that sounds strange to non-writers; this author is pretty much character-driven and when they talk, I listen. The first in the series will release on January 1; all books in the series will be in KU and can be found at this link: Mystery on Lilac Lane (16 book series) Kindle Edition. I hope you check them out.
As you know, I’m a football fan. And while the Wisconsin Badgers are in a long rebuilding phase, the Green Bay Packers are at the top of their game. They beat the Chicago Bears and took over the top spot in the NFC North division. I’m not always verbal when watching the games at home because when I yell, it scares Simon, so I tend to cheer silently while my body responds in glee. How do you cheer for your favorite sports team at home?
Well, I’m not getting anything done around here, unless you count writing this weekly posting, so I’d better get my body moving out of the chair and get a few things accomplished. Stay warm and safe wherever you are and have a great week.
I can never thank you enough for continuing to read these snippets into my life as an author. I hope I have not bored you too much with them. 😊 After all, other people's lives are never as glamorous as we may think.
May your ereader or bookshelf overflow with delightful
books to read!
