1. First ever visit to Daiso. Took the kids, we bought a ton, and it still cost less than $50.
2. Got some writing done. Also... all those snacks from Daiso.
3. RED SOX!!!!

A few good things over the past couple days:

1. The paperback proof of Faebourne arrived, and it looks beautiful!
2. New Jackbox games.
3. DuckTales is back.

1. Got my speaking notes written out to go with the slides I prepped yesterday.
2. Chat with my friend as we sketch out plans for our big trip to Japan in 2020.
3. ENT says my hearing is back to normal. When looking in my ear: "You'd never know anything was ever wrong with it."

1. Nice day at home.
2. Finished my PowerPoint presentation for next month.
3. Took the kids to the school book fair, and we witnessed a magnificent full moon.

1. Really nice lunch at a restaurant we'd been meaning to try for ages and finally did.
2. Got more writing on my new WIP done.
3. Received a phone call from an old friend. Turns out she's having a baby! 😀

A quiet day at home. Got a good walk in, started a new WIP of which I'm excited to bring the first pages to my writing group on Monday night. Lots of page reads on my books today, too, and we finally got around to carving the pumpkin. So a good day overall.

1. The paperback version of Faebourne is now up for pre-order.
2. Long overdue visit with my aesthetician.
3. Evening out with the family.

Laughing so hard I cried. I hadn't done that in a long time. Also, new shirts. And boba tea.

My son's visit with his therapist went well. Then we went out for lunch. And the kids also did well at the orthodontist. Plus, I received the e-proof of Faebourne. Now just waiting for the printed proof. Also, enjoying the new incarnation of Doctor Who. Overall, a good day.

My last quiet day of the week, but I still had to run to the store for a few things. At least that got done. And I cleaned up the files on my computer and submitted the print files for Faebourne. Can't wait to see the proofs! So it was a productive day, anyway. And I got the Golden Curry I'd been craving for dinner too!

1. Pulling together print files for Faebourne. Excited to see the final result!
2. I *think* I'm getting better at Japanese?
3. Good writing group meeting.

I've been slammed with finishing up the edits on my novel, but I can now gladly announce Faebourne is available as an ebook! Paperback to follow. Other good things include our annual trip to the corn maze and pumpkin patch. Aaaand Golden Curry.

1. Started the second read-through of my WIP. On track to put the ebook out next week.
2. Nice chat with another mom at the elementary school. Sometimes it's the little things.
3. A book I'd forgotten I'd preordered arrived. Unexpected book! That's always fun.

1. Almost done with this round of edits!
2. A pretty quiet day at home.
3. Great writing group meeting.

1. Went to the really good bakery and got some treats.
2. Got halfway through editing my WIP. The ebook should come out in the next couple weeks. (Paperback will take longer.)
3. Lasagna for dinner.

1. Daughter is going to start training for her first horse show.
2. Started editing.
3. Family game night.

1. Finished the draft of my WIP!
2. Was able to sleep in because the kids didn't have school.
3. Did I mention I finished my draft?

Sorry that I've fallen down on the job here lately. Yesterday was Day of PTA, where I first spent the morning at the middle school, handing out ice cream treats to the honor roll students. Then I had a PTA meeting that evening as well. Didn't get any writing done, but did manage a short workout. Overall, an okay day.

This morning I went to the dermatologist to have this bump on my calf checked out. It's almost invisible; I had to really search to even locate it to show it to my doctor. But all is well, and she says my skin is "terrific." (I've been blessed in that area, at least.) I'm likewise grateful that the doctor's office was running on schedule and it didn't take very long. So now I'll be able to get some writing done.

There. Lots of good things!

1. Got some writing done.
2. Had sushi for dinner.

. . . I dunno. It was a fairly quiet day. I guess that's a good thing, too.

Here's a look at some of the work I did on Faebourne today:

Monday decided to Monday extra hard today, but I managed to salvage my day despite its best efforts to sink me. I had lunch with a friend who showed me a cool new product for my nails. And I had a nice evening out with my writing group. Plus, I still managed to get in a workout.

Here's hoping tomorrow is even better.
