No particular order

And here I am again. Been intending to post all day, but you know what they say about good intentions paving the road to h-e-double hockey sticks. Anyway, here's last week. Not classified and not in any sort of order, but posted nonetheless.

1. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, I worked on and finished the January family newsletter. Will mail tomorrow.
2. Cleaned house and did daily chores throughout the week. My dryer broke on Thursday, and the only repair service that could fix it won't be here until Tuesday -- February 7! Yikes. Drying clothes on clothes rack in the spare bedroom and using a friend's dryer until then.
3. Attended writers group meeting Saturday morning. Looks like the anthology is a reality. It's going to be a bit of work for me, but that's okay. I will have four pieces in it. And everyone seems excited about it, which is great.
4. Walked Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday at the gym. Still not up to 5 times a week, but getting there.
5. Reached my goal of getting rid of 50 books! Sold 25 to a friend and donated the rest to the library. Have decided I will get rid of 50 more. Want to make some space on my shelves.
6. Continued to work on the spare bedroom. It's looking so much better. I wish I taken a photo of it before I started this project. I'm pleased. It's not Home & Garden, but it's also not Trash & Clutter anymore. Baby steps, ya know.
7. Did all of this with the black dog hanging on my ankle, dang it. It sure is an annoying creature. I need that big cat to come and gobble it up.
8. Sold two more subscriptions to the newsletter and sold two birthday cards. Every little bit of money helps.
9. Got all my tax material gathered up. Intend to work on my taxes this week.

Speaking of this week, I plan to:
1. Do my taxes.
2. Format the submissions to the anthology. Should be mostly cut-n-paste. I hope.
3. Keep the house clean and my laundry done. Laundry should be interesting until the dryer is fixed.
4. Walk at least four times.
5. Write something -- anything -- even one single dang word -- on Murder by the Mile.
6. Catch my personal blog up on posts.
7. Continue to de-clutter the spare bedroom. There's a chest that needs to be emptied. That's my target.
8. Start on the February newsletter and get it out on time for once.
9. Keep my head up, my body moving, and my face to whatever sunshine we receive.

And that's this post. Have a great week!

Glad to see you've made a appearance. Bummer about the dryer. That's a pain. I know. Mine's been down twice since November, but my repair guy isn't as busy as yours, apparently. Glad to hear you've had some sales and future work. I know it's not what you want, but I'm still praying for you to find the right job. Hang in there.

Better the dryer than the washer! That beating clothes on rocks is a real hassle.

Just say, "Here, Kitty, Kitty!"
