Wacky week 2

Except it wasn't that wacky, but I liked the alliteration.

So what did I do last week? Hmm. Seems I was busy every day, but now it doesn't seem like I did that much. How about a list?

A LIST

1. Made my bed every day. Yes, I know, it doesn't seem like I should brag about it, but go here for more.

2. Kept the house clean and the dishes done and my laundry washed and the house dusted and vacuumed and the kitchen floor mopped.

3. Went to lunch with a friend. It was my regular Wednesday lunch with a good friend.

4. Went out to dinner with two friends. We were celebrating a friend's divorce. It was okay, although a bit sad because she has some regrets but believes the divorce will let her get on with her life.

5. Cooked dinner several times. When I do cook, I cook too much. Going to work on cutting down the amount I make. I make enough for four or five, which encourages my roomie and me to eat too much.

6. Went to the gym and walked three days. Meant to walk more, but have been slightly under the weather. Well, actually the weather has been fairly nice for this time of year. I have the beginnings of a cold and have been fighting it.

7. Discarded a big box of stuff from the spare bedroom and boxed up 26 books for a friend. The bed in the spare bedroom can at last be used! And now I just have to reduce the clutter more so that it doesn't look like a visitor could be buried by the piles on one side of the room. (And donate or sale 24 more books to reach my goal of getting rid of 50 books.)

8. Posted several times on Harbor Street, including two excerpts from and a possible cover for Murder by the Mile.

10. Attended the local writers group meeting yesterday morning before our guests arrived. The person who was supposed to give the program didn't show up. Annoying. We discussed our anthology. I guess I'm in charge of it, but told them that I only knew how to produce in the book in one way. If anyone else wanted to do it, I would be delighted, but I wasn't going to work for a committee. No one volunteered, which I think, on reflection, might not be best for me. We'll see.

11. Had the final 2011 Christmas celebration yesterday with my roomie's daughter and her family, including the marvelous Mikey. The kids opened presents and played outside. We went to eat a local Mexican restaurant. Afterwards, we came back and played more baseball and video games until they had to leave. House sure seemed empty after they left.

12. Started putting away the inside Christmas decorations, but still have to take the tree down and put away my Christmas village. Hate to put away the decorations, but have other guests coming this week so need to get them cleared away.

13. Battled the black dog until exhausted, but sunshine the past couple of days has really helped.

14. Got my hair cut, which it needed. I was getting shaggy. Well, shaggy for me, but definitely not romance book cover man hair.

And that was my week. Notice the general lack of writing. Sigh. Well, it's on my list for this week. Speaking of which:

ANOTHER LIST

1. Write five pages on Murder by the Mile.

2. The usual household chores.

3. Exercise at the gym least three times.

4. Continue to fight the black dog until it runs away.

5. Continue to eat fruits and veggies each dang day.

6. Upload a Christmas card to Oakleaf Harbor.

7. Upload a birthday card to Oakleaf Harbor.

8. Work on a role-playing scenario, The Jerosah Legacy, that I'm going to produce this weekend.

9. Clean house for guests coming this weekend.

10. And lots of other things, but those are the major ones.
