Thank you <3 - one and a half chapters done. 13 to go...

😁😂 🦙🧶
That is a discussion that may or may not follow ;)

Love the long-track speed skating. I'd have taken it up in a heartbeat if there'd been somewhere I could do it when I was a kid.

I think we have 6 or 7 in total, including a local authority leisure centre, in a town that is no more than five miles across! I’m honestly surprised the town can support them all, but apparently it can…

Never mind in cities: I live in a smallish market town in the UK and we have four 24hr gyms and they’re all within walking distance of each other, too…

UPDATE 2:
Draft 1 is now ticked off for the weekend. I've also made a dent in the edits, though I still have a number left. So that's where I'm starting this morning.

UPDATE 1:
Self-care done, website admin done, some chores tackled too. Up next: draft 1. (I'd start the editing, but as I'm cooking dinner, I don't really want to start that, knowing I can only give it an hour's worth of attention.)

*grin* there will be some rest in there too - it’s a long list but a lot of it’s short items, which helps! ❤️

-Household chores list

I also have some self-care planned (it involves wearing shorts, though, so I might need to be a bit brave...)

So we'll see how I do.

Updates, as and when <3

...and get a few things finally finished. In, more or less, order of priority:
-Draft 2 - last edits, formatting and setting up things for launch.
-Draft 5 - knit it together into a cohesive draft and get it to my editor
-Website admin - WW
-Website admin - MM
-Draft 1 - Run through and finalise

More than pouring it in your eyes, certainly!

To say nothing of a waste of (presumably) good red wine...

Yessssss! *grin*

I feel like a doomcrolling ought to be some deep-fried, sugar laiden monstrosity, possibly served with whipped cream and sprinkles...

If you think about it, though, those older people who're now adopting 'bored' as an identity WERE the teenagers who did it back in the day. So nothing's really changed for them. They're just older and ache a bit more.

As they say: every little helps! Hopefully under 1000 comes nice and quickly for you <3
