My Day

I intended to get shopping done and then get to my book. However, a nap is in order first.
The next chapter is 37 pages. Long. It's doubtful I'll be able to subdivide this one, but I will look for the opportunity.
I will get the chapter finished, whether I can subdivide it, or need to work on the entire chapter. It might prove interesting in accomplishing that since I will be taking a nap soon, and I need to go shopping, and I have a small group study tonight. One way or another, I will accomplish this goal.
Right now, I have 80 pages left to edit. So, I will finish this weekend or the latest on Monday.
What is your Friday like? Thanks for reading.
This picture is the one I've decided on for the back cover copy. When cropped, the wreath won't be in it. It won't look like a holiday picture.

I love it as a holiday picture, but am sure it'll look just as nice cropped. You look so happy. And that shirt / sweater is adorbs.
Hope you have a relaxing night after working on that chapter.

Yes, I went when I got up. I forgot my list at home, but it was okay, I got everything on it except for two items, one will wait until payday, and the bananas didn't look good.

@just4him me too. I've been wearing the same sweaters for thirty years. At least they have lasted.

@Tampa_girl7 I gave most of my sweaters away this year because they were too big for me.

Seems this chapter will be the longest in the book right? Hope everything's going fine with the book Valerie! Good luck on that!

For your book it might be better to have both arms by your sides. You can probably ask your publisher/editor/agent about that. Does 4rv press publish your books, Valerie? It is a nice picture though.
So the 37 pages of the one chapter that you should have finished by now since it's Monday, is a portions of the remaining 86 you still have to edit, or are we talking about two different books?
Naps are good. I took out the garbage this morning as we had meat from several years ago that I've been getting into the trash little by little already, but since it had thawed I needed to get it out to the road this morning rather than last night. I'm not sure how well animals can smell a lot of thawed meat.
I have different type of trash bags with a mint smell to them. That's supposed to repel animals from the garbage, but I don't know whether it works well for meat and for how long. Not willing to test that and have a clean-up on my hands. So, I got up early to take that out and then went back to bed for my nap. I didn't want to get up but once I went potty and saw the time, I had to change my mind since I have a lot to do before my brother comes by.

@just4him The animals didn't bother my trash, but I put it into two bags.
The one with the mint smell and another just to be sure. My trash people usually come at the stroke of eight am, but every once in a great while they come in the afternoon. I don't know if that's when the normal guy is sick or on vacation or what,, but it was odd when it happened. If that happened on the day I took it out, then if I only put it into the one bag that could have been a problem, or not, I just don't know.
But, one year when we were still on bubblews a raccoon turned over my trash can and had everything all over by the back door. I didn't want that.
Good that you got your book done and that you have a publisher in your area.
The two editing projects you were working on were they both for the same book?

@MarshaMusselman I've only worked on one editing project this year.
I'm glad you got the trash out and no animals got to it before the garbage men came.

Written Dreams is my publisher, it's a local company. I will be back at the ADRC this week and take my camera again so I get both arms down at my sides.
The 37-page chapter was subdivided twice. So, three chapters. I need to go through and make certain all my chapter numbers are correct. Right now it's 53 chapters. I finished it today.
I hope the animals didn't get at your trash.

37 pages, that's a very long chapter! Maybe in the middle, it will be possible to divide it in 1/2. Nice photo, it really shows your weight change clearly.

@porwest No, they don't. I was talking with the receptionist at the Y this morning, she works security for Lambeau. She said it would be in the best interest of the Packers to lose the last two games to get better placement for the draft. She also said Rodgers shouldn't play the last two games to keep him healthy. Though she said the likelihood of that happening isn't high.
