Crazy weather

Tomorrow's high is supposed to be 74.  In February!  Crazy.

And Sunday is projected to get up to 78.  :o

The downside to this is that the plants might start blooming too early.  Then, if there's a freeze later, it'll kill off the flowers.

The upside is that it's great weather for being outside, and that's what I intend to do.

Can I have the 2000s back, please?

I really hate modern gadgetry.  The smart phone was the beginning of the end, I think.  Now everything demands to be interconnected, but nothing works the way it's supposed to.

Why do kitchen appliances need Wifi?  All it does is add an extra layer of things that can go wrong.

Who thought touchscreens were a good idea?  They suck!  A mechanical button is far more precise.  There's nothing like a nice positive click to let you know that you have, in fact, pressed the button and sent the signal you wanted to send.

Yes, I'm in a foul mood right now.  Thanks, modern tech.

R.C. Ducantlin is a cool dude

His book was promoted without his knowledge, so he decided to pay the favor forward.  He has now promoted my book on his Facebook page without asking anything in return.

Thanks, R.C.!  :D

Y'all be sure to check out his books.  Here's his site:

Check out Jaxon Reed's books, too.  He's the one who promoted R.C.'s book.

Small progress

I wrote a few hundred words last night.

Also, I walked some today.  First time in a month I've walked.  I took it slow, but I still felt it in my hamstrings.  I'm looking forward to getting back into this habit.

They're baby steps towards getting back to normal after my illness, but they're positive steps nonetheless.

Productive last night

I wrote about 2200 words last night.  Best writing night I've had in a while.

I'm still sick.  I'm trying to ease back into my exercise routine, but I'm still weak and tired and coughing.  I did some curls yesterday with the exercise band.  Not many.  :(  And I'm still not eating right, but that's fine.  I gained weight in 2020, so I could stand to lose a few pounds.

At least I got a new story off to a decent start.  A fantasy story, not SF.  :o  Yeah, I'm a wild man.

Special thanks to Dan C. Rinnert for inspiration.

Update

Okay... I'm still sick.  I'm weak and tired and coughing a lot.  It's been three weeks now.

The good news is that I haven't gotten any worse.  I might even be slightly better than I was a few days ago.

I'm taking cough syrup and sucking on zinc lozenges.  I'm eating a fair bit considering my condition.  Illness usually kills my appetite completely, and this one did in the beginning, but I'm eating now.

My chores have been neglected.  My writing has been neglected.  My marketing has been neglected.  This year has sucked so far.

Crossing my fingers for February.
