Thursday Thirteen #7: 13 things I did today
Filed in Blog, Thursday ThirteenThis one’s late and I imagine not many people will read it. But I felt like capturing what I did today anyway. I’ve had one of those wonderful days when the energy is all flowing and each task moves naturally into the next without trouble.
- Turned the air conditioning on at 8 in the morning. Outside, uninhibited, the mercury hit 99 degrees–can you say “heat wave”?
- Input a bunch of landmarks and watched as the 100,000th one was entered into the Markeroni database.
- Twittered a little for the first time in a week, but had to stop because it tends to lock up my browser.
- Packaged up my niece’s birthday present, ready to mail tomorrow. She’ll be thirteen! How could that possibly happen?
- Tidied up my corner so that I no longer feel oppressed by all the mess. It looks good.
- Wrote enough paid posts to pay today’s rent.
- Earned my cats’
undyingsporadic adoration for feeding and petting them.
- Revamped the programs I use to join dual snarfs together (landmarks that are on more than one historic register) and thus cleared the backlog because it’s no longer so much of a chore. I also cleared more of the outstanding backlog off the deck including data entry requests and direct-logged landmarks.
- Updated my business accounts up to the end of April. I’m actually quite excited because I almost got into the “comma club” (thanks, Shen! ;) for March. :)
- Cooked my famous pasta concoction for the first time in at least a couple of years…and did the dishes.
- Beat my inbox into submission a little bit.
- Caught up on photos of the day for Raven’s RV and Raven’s Range.
- Dug out my 2007 NaNoWriMo novel to start editing it and find out if it’s worth keeping. I think it will be. :)

100,000! Wow! Who would have guesed (pre-Markeroni!) that there were so many? That’s fantastic. Congratulations.

Hi Linda…I’m a day late and a dollar short in visiting Thursday Thirteens, so yep, I’m reading yours! Sounds like you had a busy…and very warm…day! Do stop by my TT when you get a moment.

It hit 104° at my house. Today is supposed to be worse.
Congratulations! Comma Club is a great achievement!

The rains are here early this year so it wasn’t super hot on a Saturday, for a change :)
I’m late visiting TTs, glad I caught yours :)

Yay for NaNos! Have you written all 3 in the trilogy, or is part 3 this year?

104…Blech! I was about $50 short of the comma. And that’s because I got paid for my article. Which of course inspires me to get more. ;)

Good memory! The 2006 Nano is chronologically #1 in the series. #2 is done and I must resist the desire to tinker with it. #3 is 3/4 way finished and needs a serious editing. #3 is a bit of a monster in terms of page length.

Heh. I’m one of those people who appreciates their series book being reasonably equal in length. Good luck with the not-tinkering!
