Friday Fun Fact

Spent 5 minutes trying to find the right sweet spot on the lid of a medicine bottle to squeeze it off only to discover I need to press in the locks on the bottle.

Maker Monday

Managed to find some time this weekend to get some Fall cards made.

Not sure if I like the cozy with books better or the traditional fall colors and gnomes.

Then again, I don’t have to choose. Now to write a quick message and drop them in the mail.

Until next time, stay healthy.

Fall Prep

While the weather is only half heartedly cooling down, I decided I would mentally prepare for fall.

Lately I’ve been watching fall YouTube videos to see some colors.

I already had my pumpkin spice chai tea latte.

There has been a few witch themed cozy mystery books.

And I found some fall themed movies—including sleepy hollow, the legend of sleepy hollow, paranorman, Halloweentown and the two Hocus-pocus movies.

Now onto some apple cider and pumpkin bread.

What are your favorite fall things to do?

September reading

This month, I started caught dead handed. A mystery set in Salem.

And I still haven’t finished The Twelfth Planet.

What’s on your reading list?

Well alrighty then

I had a plan. I planned to write and finish my current book but the end of the year.

That’s so not going to happen.

I’m pretty sure my pivot has become an about face and I’m seeking the new normal.

It isn’t writer’s block. I have plenty of ideas bombarding me.

It’s more a lack of time to focus. And without that focus I’m not telling the story properly.

So I won’t to my thoughtful spot and had a think.

I think I will try to write some short works and hopefully folks won’t stare at me and ask where is the rest of it?

We’ll see.

Until next time, stay healthy.

Expanded horizons

I don’t know about you but my bucket list is about to take as long to finish as my to be read pile.

I already had all the national parks, monuments and historic sites in the US on my list, now there are some Canadian parks added as well.

At this rate I may not get off the continent to see other natural wonders of the world. Ah well, there is always videos to watch while the city continues to bake.

Until next time.
