My husband is a morning person. This is wonderful in that by 10 am in the morning he accomplishes more than most people all day. However, as a night person it means I’m often woken earlier than I want to be. This was the case today.
Now that I’m up though, I’m noticing the beautiful day. The temp is reasonable and the humidity low. The house is opened up and the birds are singing. If it weren’t for the traffic noise, I could almost go back to sleep just listening to the birds.
I’m up though and I have too much to do to waste time when I could be working. I didn’t accomplish anything yesterday except to get rid of a nasty headache. After work, I made a phone call about getting books in a chain bookstore. I’m not holding my breath but it would be really nice. Today I’m prepping my books to send to the chain for review. That is top of my priority list.
Once I was done with that phone call and typing up the letter, I pretty much did nothing the rest of the afternoon and evening. I’m watching Flashpoint on Netflix so I watched that and then crashed. My head was hurting so no crocheting.
Today will be more productive I hope. Prepping the books for mailing, organizing my poems for the next Moments in book, and fixing two spots in my fantasy novel. I have to decide if one area needs more description or not and if the other section could do without a transitional paragraph. After that it is one more read through and then I begin the production part. For the poetry book, I have to make final cuts and arrange the poems before starting the production part.
My two crochet projects are calling to me so when my brain is about to explode from the writing stuff I will work on the afghan and the experiment. Yes I am experimenting with a new stitch and yarn. I like how it is working up so I just need to finish it. I also want to try another pattern in this book before I review it because the one pattern I am working with had errors in it and I had to fix it. Before I review it and add in that bit of information, I want to see if the error is consistent.
If I get to working on Vicki’s afghan, it will be a good time to have a couple of movies to watch. Each row takes so long it is good to have a distraction while I work on it. I was talking about Kevin Costner movies to someone so maybe I will see what Netflix has in the way of his movies and do a Costner weekend.
