Guess I succeeded in my goals.  Didn’t get to spend as much time with my son as I would have liked.  Lots of appointments, homework, and other stuff showing up during my days of the week.  Feels like everything was a blur too.  Even last weekend was less than relaxing due to some drama.  Some battles don’t really end.  They simply move on to the next phase of things.

Darwin & the Fate Bracelet got a little progress last weekend.  I hoped to do more, but Saturday afternoon fell apart to heated texting.  I got chapters 8-most of 10 done.  The week was too rough with work and other drama for me to get more done.  Not doing much for my self-esteem and hope to publish this later this year.  I might be able to finish the editing during the upcoming break, but I was really thinking I’d get this all done by the end of January.  Will it really take me 2 months to edit one book?  I’m not even being thorough.  It just takes that long to find time and then I move slowly through everything, which could be meticulousness.  I’m noting up this thing a lot with changes, corrections, and notes to check continuity.

With it being Super Bowl weekend and me having my son, I’m not going to get any editing done this weekend.  Maybe if I wake up early and can’t go back to bed.  Get a few pages in while the house is quiet.  Beyond that, it’s going to be a lot of Pokemon Go, time with family, and resting up for the week before break.  I don’t get the first half of winter break with my son, so I want to make what little time I get count.  We’re getting a visit from my 3-year-old niece for Super Bowl too.  The rest of the family is coming as well, but we all know toddlers are the main event.

Can’t really get into work or other dramas here.  That doesn’t leave me with much since the puzzle stuff is kind of boring.  I started a Pokemon one, but didn’t make progress due to exhaustion.  Television was minimal after the weekend.  I did manage to watch a new anime called ‘Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead’, which is the opening above.  It’s a fun series about a guy who works a soul-sucking job.  Then, the zombie apocalypse happens and he realizes he doesn’t have to work ever again, so it’s time to live his life.  He makes a list of things to do before he becomes a zombie.  Enjoyed it a lot more than I expected even though it was highly recommended, so I knew I’d like it.

Wish I had more to share, but I don’t.  Last week was about making it to the weekend and next week is going to be about making it to break.  Got some big training on one day as well, so less time for editing.  I might use what little free time I have to work on April blog posts.  Don’t have any ideas for May, which is worrisome.  Anybody know of any good topics about books, writing, authors, etc.?  I feel like I’m out of the loop on a lot and am grabbing stuff from things I’m watching or reading.

Chopped salads and rice bowls are working for lunch.  Still having trouble getting the rice to be soft instead of clumpy by the time I eat it.  Putting three ice cubes in and nuking it for 1.5 minutes helps.  The cubes aren’t melted right away, but the container is warmed up.  So sealing it and putting it in my insulated lunch bag helps.  Going to be tough to make all of my lunches this weekend due to the fridge being full for Super Bowl.  I think I can get the salad in there, but I’ll have to wait for Monday before I make the rice bowl.  Not going to be easy.

I should stop dancing around with this post and get on with the goals.  My brain is too mushy to figure more out.  I’m really hoping to have a better post next Saturday even though next week is going to be crazy.  Good luck to anyone who is cheering for one of the Super Bowl teams or Taylor Swift or whatever.  I’m focused on the pizza, wings, and commercials this time.
