I’ve been trying to make the time to blog regularly…obviously, that’s going well. I keep telling myself I’ll figure it out eventually, and then my hormone supplements run out, or I make the horrible decision to eat myself into 12 more pounds (which affects not just my hormones, but also my overall sleeping/living/daily life), or life just happens and I try to swim with the current and end up getting tumbled against the rocks.
In any case, a lot has happened since the last blog post, some of which will become posts all their own eventually:
– Hubby and I took another daytrip to collect Montana Bookstore Trail stamps. We went northwest this time, to Livingston and Bozeman. Briefly, five bookstores in one day is too much when you have to drive a ways to get to them. Also, I may need another bookcase.
– During our trip, our newly installed windshield failed in a rainstorm, and water was leaking into the car on the passenger side (right onto my bare legs). Our van’s been in the shop all week, and we should get it back Friday (“today” as you’re reading this, maybe).
– There was one day this week that was absolutely beautiful walking weather. I’m calling it the Avocado of walking days, and I so wish I could reliably find them more often.
– My husband turned 60, so we celebrated with more food (and requisite sugar) and a rare trip to the theater to see Despicable Me 4, which was hilarious (naturally).
All that and a bit of stress at work (shaken, not stirred), equals not a lot of time left over. However, I’m trying to use that time more wisely, so I’ve managed to stop playing games (aside from Pokemon) during the week.
Now I just need to do something more productive with that time, like rewriting blurbs and planning “next scenes”.
I have been writing a bit – I’m stuck on something in the Magpie draft, so that’s sitting and waiting for me to get “unstuck”. Luckily, I never work on just one draft, so I also have a little short story started.
However, Halloween is coming! And Alex would really like to have another story out this year, so we’ll be working on that periodically as well.
So, things are happening. And I will eventually figure out how to document them here more steadily.
What are you up to? Reading? Writing? Taking walks because your weather is cooler than mine (where?!)? Comment below, email me at jamie@jamiedebree.com, or catch up with me on Facebook or Instagram.
Until next time,
