It has come to my attention that these are a little too ranty, I’m very sorry. I was talking with a family member who reads my blog posts and she mentioned how ranty and angry they came across so I re-read through them, and Oh. My. God! They’re so angry. That was not my intention so, again. I am so sorry! I will continue to post on Saturdays but I’m going to focus more on my hobbies, which is what Saturdays are supposed to be for in the first place! If I want to post a ranty one, that will be on Wednesdays. I swear I’m not usually this ranty!! Maybe? I think?
I think I had just been bottling some things up to such an extent that, when I realized that this platform was the perfect place to vent, some of the people in my personal life that I struggle with don’t read this or don’t read blogs at all, most of them don’t even know I have one the ones who do know I have one don’t know the name, so I guess I got over excited and started to take advantage of this platform. So for that one last time, apologies. And on we go.
The start of this week was great! I am actually super happy with what I got done with my book, I was just over half way through rewriting the first draft, so draft two. I’m hoping to send it to a friend who is very openly opinionated around the 10th of this month so I had a lot to get done in that time. When you’re reading this, that'll be tomorrow, for me this is about a week away. So I’m happy with my progress.
I managed to get several chapters edited and done, so I am well on my way to making my deadline. I'm super happy about that. I’m a little frustrated I haven’t gotten any jewelry done, but the stickers and writing have been so much fun! I’m actually trying to think of what I want to do with this cool lantern bird feeder thing I picked up on clearance from a local hobby store, the idea I’m going with is to twist some fake vines and fairy lights together and wrap them around the pillars and top, so that leaves do I want to do the fairy lights? Or one big fake candle or light in the center of the lantern? So many options!
This day was somewhat of a setback. I didn’t get much of anything done, but my day job was very insane, and not the chaotic way but they Oh my God are you gonna live? Kind, spoiler, they’re fine. I however did not know this until later in the week. But this day was crazy, I don’t think I got any hobbies done. I definitely should have, since it was so stressful it was the best day logically to do something fun and distracting, I didn't want to even read a book. So, I put my ass in a chair and played video games for maybe thirty minutes, hey it made me feel a little better! That’s a good thing. . . I think? Probably.
This day was better! It was busy, busy, busy at my day job because of reasons previously stated, but I finished all my tasks, and when I got off I got several chapters done! Still no jewelry or other hobbies, but I did make the choice with my deadline this weekend I wanted to spend more of my energy on my book, I think once the deadline is over and I send it off I’ll put that energy into several of my other hobbies, take a short break from writing, maybe to some lose drafting? Like just some wide outlining, just to get an idea of what I want my outline to even be for my next WIP? I think that sounds fun.
I shall make my deadline! I will finish draft two this evening and reread it over the next day! I can do it even if I want to sleep like the dead tomorrow! I don’t care if I go into a temporary coma because of lack of sleep I shall take it! Though I may hate myself after. . .
On a side note, have you ever seen someone do something and just stood there and wanted to ask them, “Were you not born with any brain cells?” I had that today, so much. Someone left something in my area, and I just stopped and wondered what was wrong with them and if they were just that dumb, like you can’t even call it ignorance anymore. For context I work in a food type business, I work in like 40 ish degrees and someone left a bunch of ice cream on my table all night long. Like why?
Sincerely concerned.
Ann
