Wednesday, #SkyWriters, and I'm in a mood...

I suspect it's the new meds, which is why I keep a journal!

Trump is talking Canada USA/mergers again. Fuck that guy.

Now, to the word mines! Time to write ALL the damn things.

Tuesday, Spouties! The day when we say . . . Fuck, I'm tired.

I want just want to tell stories. Instead?

Israel: fuck off out of Palestine.
America: fix your shit.
Russia: fuck off out of Ukraine.
Canada: conservatives lie. Don't listen.

Also, buy my books. I need the money.

Tuesday, #SkyWriters. The day where we say . . . Tuesday!

Had a plan. It changed. Now have a new plan revolving around housework and writing stuff. Also, going to the gym, because fun!

What's up for everyone else?

Update. I am 80% through my TO DO list. It is certain that the pod people have me. Run. Run for your lives or...

...Silly me. Everything is fine. Nothing to worry about. Go about your day, fellow humans. All is well. Never mind that thing in the garden.

Monday, #SkyWriters! Up on time, hit the gym, at my desk, ready to get things done...

...I suspect i have been taken over by pod people, but will not be certain until I see how much of my TO DO list gets finished.

Sitting in my favourite coffee shop, working on a project for a client.

It's a good project that will improve lives. And as long as I'm focused on it, I won't think about the state of the world and start screaming. Again.

Sigh.

Happy Wednesday. Everyone survive the rapture?

I'm having a rough one, so I'm just going to dive into my work and see what I can get done.

Have some capybaras.

Tuesday, #SkyWriters! The day where we say . . . I'm back!

The repairs took longer than expected but all done and my little laptop is shining like new. I guess I'd better write something.

But first, a look though the news . . .

. . . Oh. Oh, ye gods.

Monday, #SkyWriters! Got sleep (gasp!), got a light workout in (gasp!) and had breakfast (gasp!). I feel . . . good.

Wait, doing healthy things is making me healthier?

So, Quadricep Tendonitis in both knees (yeah, I was stupid and overworked them). Gym today is cancelled in favour of sulking and beginning physio.

Also, cleaning, because friends are coming over tomorrow!

Thursday, #SkyWriters. Much to do, little brain to do it with.

Off to swing some kettlebells, then back to the serious work of looking seriously at my computer in serious thought about serious subjects.

Or maybe watching cat videos. We shall see.

Charlie Kirk's thoughts on how we should react to his death:

“It's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights”

"Empathy is a made up New Age term that has done a lot of damage".

Tuesday, #SkyWriters! The day where we say . . . Tuesday!

Off on my Dr. ordered morning walk (yes, I've reached that age), then time for a quiet day of writing, marketing, job hunting, physio, housecleaning, working out and making dinner.

Not busy at all 😁.

Monday, #SkyWriters, and back to reality.

The vacation was nice. Outlined half a new book, sorted through what needs to happen in the next three months, and even had some rest.

Anyway, time to hit the word mines. Will spill more plans as the week goes on.

Tomorrow we're off for two weeks in Newfoundland.

I'm going radio silent until we're back. I need some time to sort my head and come up with a plan for the fall.

Take care of each other while I'm gone, and I'll talk to you soon.

Home, alive, well, and got my money back from Air Canada. Did not make up for what I spent, but definitely softened the blow a bit.

But most importantly, I'm home.
