Well, I got a taste of the good life, one week without work, plenty of time to do what I wanted. I rejoined the gym—and went to it. I wrote over six thousand words. I went to a Tarot class, and I read four Jack Reacher books. 

This week is a four-day work week. Yay. I actually have three four-day work weeks in April. That's because I took a personal day to go to the Chicago Spring Fling. It's a fantastic romance writers' conference. I'm really looking forward to it .

The last quarter of the school year begins tomorrow. 45 school days left! I hope our spring weather evens out soon. I keep getting headaches from the temps and humidity rising into summer temperatures for a day or two and then crashing down into February weather!

Spring Is Here!

My spring break has started! This week is going to go by so fast! We will be having decent weather so I am looking foward to getting out and running a few times. I'm also going to a monthly game night at a friends and a tarot reading class. Should be fun!

When I'm not doing that I'm planning on doing more cleaning around the house than I can manage to do when school is in session and reading Jack Reacher books. I'm currently listening to Tripwire and reading Running Blind. Some of the Jack Reacher books are in first person and some are in third person. I prefer the third person it seems to fit the stories better--but Lee Child obviously disagreed!

What are you up to this week? 

I love the gloaming!

Fri-Yay! My Plan for the Weekend? Do Nothing!

 

This week, our school district had a wellness challenge. To earn points for your school, you went to a local forest preserve and walked. This forest preserve has a steep incline of stairs left over from when people used to toboggan in the winter. Toboggans are big sleds that multiple people climb on and slide down a hill. The slides are gone, but the stairs are still there. This picture is the view from the top of the stairs. I walked up and down only twice. I also did a twenty-minute walk on a walking trail at the top of the stairs. 

I'm planning to start going back to the stairs twice a week. It's close to my house, and I want to build up to being able to do at least five sets of up and down. It continues to be a boiling hot September in my area. I'm looking forward to a cold front. I would also like the ragweed to die off. Allergy season has been dreadful for me this year! 

I finally got it together and started bringing a physical book to work so I can spend my lunch reading instead of scrolling social media. Do you read physical books? Have you read this one? 

Procrastination Post

 

I should be drafting my book right now, but instead, I'm writing this procrastination post. Writing is hard! 

When I am drafting a book, chores can suddenly become more appealing.  Look how clean my house is, yes I've only written 146 words today. Can you relate?  And this weekend I'm going to lose an hour due to the time change!  I'm being overly dramatic of course. 

Speaking of dramatic. If you have Hulu, you've got to check out the show Paradise starting and produced by Sterling K. Brown. It's really good! A unique story with some good twists. 

We have 11 more days of school until Spring Break and then we are down to the final quarter of school. I recently had the idea to read the Jack Reacher series this summer since I enjoy the TV show. I didn't check to see how many Reacher books there were. Turns out there are 28 books. How nice for me! This is going to be an action-packed summer break!
