I'm Back

Yesterday was a wild ride for me. After church, I got right into my book and came up for air 7 hours later. I only managed two chapters in that time. Before church, I wrote up three posts, one I posted before going to bed last night. I was going to get some work done here, but my back was the worse for wear after seven hours working on Thread of Evidence. The good thing, it's coming along well. I have 9 chapters complete now out of 42. I'm going to be here for a little while today, and try to bring my notifications down and post another favorite Western from my growing up years. I'm getting ready to write that one now. I also need to find out when my son has off, so I know when I'm doing laundry. For now, I'm home from the Y. I had a good workout in the pool. No fitness center until I know when I'm doing laundry. I can't do the fitness center and stairs on the same day. I don't make it to the pool the next day. My goal is to get two chapters done a day, three if possible. However, each chapter takes a long time to edit. So, we'll see how it works out. What are your plans and goals for today? Thanks for reading.

Sitting for 7 hours straight is a very, very bad decision.

I did get up to do things, like fixing something to eat, going to the bathroom, hunting for anything in the fridge. It wasn't seven straight. I wouldn't be able to walk if I did that.

I am not yet sure what I will do today. I hope that I can start some things I have been putting off during winter. I can see that you have been a busy bee.

I went out pretty early this morning to prune the blueberry and raspberry bushes that were becoming too big. Later it started pouring and I came inside and cleaned the house. Now I am resting and myLotting, while the roast is cooking in the oven.

I try to get up several times a day. Though, when I got up from here a couple nights ago, my back was in sad shape.

That is likely too much sitting. Have you a way to make a stand up desk? Have you posted your book titles in order somewhere for us to see? Are you republishing them all?

I have no way to make a stand-up desk. I do know what they are and saw a commercial for them a while ago. Yes, and yes. I will be publishing new editions of the Colonial America Series. They are on Amazon. I don't sit the entire seven hours without getting up. I do walk around a bit, get something to eat, take care of needs.

None. It got screwed by painting job at home. I'm not even aware that it's late afternoon now.

I just don't know how you do it being on here and trying to write your book with all your other jobs to do. You are amazing, I wish you luck on getting that book done.

Good luck with the editing. My back has been aching today. I have a bad back but it doesn't usually ache. It just seizes up if I do something silly but the last few days it has been aching a bit.

I get up and move around to keep it from aching too much, but that day was bad. I sat longer than I'm used to. Even with getting up and moving around.

@just4him Reading your comment now I've realised my back hasn't ached for a day or two. I didn't notice it stop.

Making ice cream sounds exciting. What flavor did you make? I made some once with my grandmother. We made strawberry. YUM!

Well, I went out today. I had my much-needed haircut at David's Salon, bought some gifts for my partner-in-crime (since we celebrated our 6th anniversary 5 days ago), got myself a new headset, applied for some jobs online, updated my website (installed a new plugin, edited my previous blog post). It was a busy day, indeed.
