Week 3

We're now three weeks into the  year.  Here's my status update for the week:

Fooling Mother Nature (First Draft):  No progress.

Polar Bear on the Loose (Revision, using How To Revise Your Novel):  I've started Lesson Seven.  This lesson is going to be fun.  It's where I have to explore head on an area I know I have a problem with in the book, and I'm looking forward to seeing if the work I have to do in this lesson will help me sort through the problem.  I may wind up spending a few weeks with this lesson.

750words.com: I've written at least my 750 words each day and have a current streak of 222 days.  I've written 18195 words so far this month.  My next badge to earn is the Double Flock -- 250,000 words.  I'm currently at 217,767 words.

Internet Responsibilities:
- I've blogged reasonably regularly this week.
- I've done a little work on the FM project and added another small project to the list.
- I did an update on the writing blog, which is my goal.

Pets:
- We got new dog tags for the dogs.  These tags have their name on the front and both home and both cell phone numbers.

Property:
- We bought wood we'll need to replace the front steps.
- We bought a replacement light/fan/heater for the master bath -- hubby thought the old one sounded like it's dying.
- We have hubby's four post auto lift one-third assembled.  Our next task will be to lift the ramps approximately 3 1/2 feet off the floor so we can bolt them to the cross-beams.  Each ramp weighs about 500 lbs., so we'll be bracing them on pallets as we raise them a little at a time until they're safely at the height we need them to be.

Health:
- I rode the recumbent bike one day this week for ten minutes.  Max heart rate was 161 (down from 169 last time).
