It’s a new week and still not much to report on this
end. I am almost done with a small
writing project I am working on.
Another 5,000 words and a thorough edit once and twice, should do
it. I also want to get finished up with
my new horror story. I got a bit
sidetracked working on something else, but at least I am writing. I’m not complaining a bit.
So what’ new this week?
1. The kitchen
is progressing. We have an empty room
down to the walls. We have 3 ½ of the 7
walls torn out. We have dust and debris
cleaned up for the moment. All the
cabinets and counter-tops and the sink are out.
This week the plan is to break up the tile flooring. Finish tearing down the other 3 ½
walls. Then I believe we are set to
work on the new ceiling and the new drywall.
That’s the plan anyway. Will we
get it all done this week? I’ll let you
know. I’m surviving the no kitchen
ordeal pretty well. Plus as there is no
real way to fix anything quick, like a warm toasty bagel at 9:00 p.m., I’m
thinking I may loose that pesky 6-8 pounds I have been complaining about
lately. So all in all we are in a good
place with the kitchen this week. How
long with that last?
2. Started
reading The Book Thief. I’m only about
3-4 chapters in, but color me surprised, it’s being told from the point of view
of…death. That’s a POV I haven’t seen
before and I am really liking it. We
will see what I think of the story after I get a bit further in.
3. What did
everyone think of the Sochi Olympics? I
didn’t get to watch it as much as I thought, but then again I don’t watch a lot
of tv on a good day, however, I was not all that thrilled with the
coverage. It jumped around too
much. You never got to really finish a
section. You’d get through to the final rounds of something and then the
coverage would switch to something else.
It got annoying and tiresome right away. I did get a kick out of all the accommodation tweets and posts
and stories. I would not have found it
as funny if I’d had to live it, but seeing it from this side of the coin, it
was funny. Maybe we in the U.S.A. are
more spoiled than we realized. Ha!
Have a great weekend everyone.
Just catching up here. I wonder if I should focus my writing too, but it just doesn't seem to happen. :) Oh well. I'm glad you got excited about horror again. Cool!
ReplyDeleteAnd... I must be the only person in Canada (well, me and my husband) not watching the Olympics.
Can't wait to see all your kitchen efforts!
Kitchen is coming along...slow and sure.
DeleteGoodluck with the kitchen disaster, I mean kitchen redecorating! Can't wait to see pictures.
ReplyDeleteI only watch the skating as far as the Olympics but did enjoy that part!
Glad you're back to doing so much writing. Keep up the good work!
Pictures maybe next week. It's getting there. Writing is also coming along. It's nice to feel the story as it creates. Thanks for stopping over.
DeleteI didn't watch the Olympics or the Oscars. I DID watch Survivor though! I loved The Book Thief. Remember: spackle dust is good fiber. Looking forward to seeing the finished product. :)
ReplyDeleteSurvivor! I actually sat down and watched that too! As for fiber...I must have gotten plenty then as I think I ate at least 5 pounds of the stuff.
