What the Junk?!

Migraine Monday

Yes, I had a pretty nasty one today. It was one of those where light was not happening! I turned off my room lights and only had the lights that are strung around my bed on so I wasn't totally in the dark. I finished my book, too!  It was good and I already found another book to borrow from the e-library.  I thought I had read this one, but I haven't.  I only got started on it.  So far, so good!

I finished up today's Camp NaNo session before posting here. I started out the month writing in the afternoons, but since then, it's been mainly at night.  As long as I get the day's writing done, I don't mind when I do it.  I am now over the 35,000 mark!  Wow, I was only going to do 20,000. I guess I showed myself! :)

 

Sunday

Well, let's see.  I have gotten a few things done today. Not a lot, but some. :p My bed linen is in the dryer waiting to go back on my bed.  I have washed and dried my hair and the laundry that I washed yesterday has been put away.  I meant to do it last night, I just never got around to it.

I have been reading on my current true crime book today.  I was about to give up on it when it took an unexpected turn and now I am pretty sure I'm going to finish it!  It had gotten to a trial and that part was boring, but then there was a mistrial and then a major thing happened and then it got good again!  As soon as I get the linens back on the bed, I'm going to read more.  I had to stop to get today's Camp NaNo writing done.  I had to do a bit of research first for something I am planning on adding.  I am now at 34,000 + words! Yay!

How I'm using Evernote today.  I send the articles I found on the research to Evernote so I can have a copy and review them as needed.

Ooh, pretty!

My new case came a day early. It's a pretty blue color.  I tried my Kindle out in it and it's nice.  Good fit and all.  I am going to save it since I know I'll want to change out the cover at some point.  It is so pretty. It feels a bit like leather and has a leather look, but it's not leather.  I'm just glad it didn't have a funny smell.  Some of the reviews for it said it smelled skunky. I got lucky and got a non-skunky one. LOL!

Here is the outside and inside:

Not the best lighting, but there you go! I finished the zombie book last night, it was good!  I remembered I had another true crime book that I borrowed with Amazon Prime so I started it.  That is my current read.

I got in another 1700 words for Camp NaNo today.  I was going to skip today, but I sat down and I didn't so go me! :)

 

 

 

 

Is this Friday?

Yeah, I don't know.  I finished the true crime book I was reading today.  I immediately was looking for something else to read on my Kindle.  You can search the Kindle store on it. You could on my Kindle keyboard but it was a much longer process!  I found a zombie book that looked pretty good for free. It's the first of a series, so I downloaded it.  I have read a little over half of it already! :P

Have I mentioned I love my new Kindle?  I love my new Kindle.  It's so small, even with the case and it fits nicely right into my purse.  I can carry it with me when I can go back in public again! Yay!  If the other books in this series are on Kindle Unlimited, I might just give it a go.  Three free months is a good deal!  I have noticed a lot of times when I find a zombie book that I like that I get the first in a series for free the rest are available to borrow with Kindle unlimited.  

I hit the 30,000 mark in Camp NaNo today!  It's going well.  I sit to write and it's just flowing. It's great. It's fun writing new characters. I love my zombie fiction characters, but these guys are pretty cool too.

In the mail today, I got the oldest Starbucks card in my collection.  It's actually the second one released in the US.  I was so happy to get it for a good price.  My dream card is the first one of course, but I was extremely happy to get this one!

Isn't it nice?  I loved adding this to my collection.   It's in great condition, too! Yay! I am only waiting on one package now and that is the other Kindle case I ordered.  

I haven't added one of these in a while, so!  How I'm using Evernote today:  I am copying the text of each day's Camp NaNo writing into Evernote.  That way I have a backup and I can read over it on my phone.  I find more things I need to fix this way! ;p

Whoo hoo!

I forgot to mention in yesterday's post, but yes, I wrote for NaNo yesterday.  I just finished today's word count and I'm now at 28,759 words! My plan was 20,000.  Yay!  I'm very happy with my word count.  It might not be a best-seller, but it's mine and I'm enjoying it!

Today, my Kindle case came today. It's so pretty!  I popped my Kindle in and I love it.  I ordered one more case of a different kind so I'd have a choice.  This one is a pretty blue and it looks like leather, but I'm sure it's not!  I took a picture of the one I got today to show how pretty it is.

I got one batch of my Starbucks cards today.  They are so cool!  They are from 2006 and 2007 and I love them.  I am getting quite the collection! I took a picture of those too! Here is the case and the cards.  I love them all. :)

Pretty, yes?  It fits the Kindle perfectly!

Look at these beauties.  They were all from the same seller.  He had some great cards!  All in all, it was a good day for mail.  

 

25,000 words!

I got done writing just a few minutes ago and I was eight words from 25,000.  I fixed that immediately!  I added eight words and I hit the 25,000 mark.  I'm very happy with myself!  Go me! 

In other news, I went to the recycle bins today, finally!  I get to the parking lot where they are and there were THREE people there in THREE different cars recycling.  I waited until they all left and was able to go to the bins and get mine done without anyone being there.  People are so stupid! Not one of them had on a mask and they were all up on top of each other. UGH!

While I already out, I went to get some gas. It's so cheap now, I only got $12 worth but I should have just filled it as it was almost full when I got in the car!  I like cheap gas.  It should last me a while since I'm not really going anywhere.

When I got home, I realized that I needed to mow the back.  The front was looking just a bit shaggy, but not too bad. I went ahead and did it anyway.  I got a good part of the back yard done too. I still have a section that needs to be done, but it can wait.  It's not visible from the street and it's not too bad back there just yet.  It is supposed to rain tomorrow so that will give me an excuse to wait an extra day! lol!

My Kindle is supposed to be here tomorrow! Yay!  The case JUST shipped today! LOL. I had a NookColor back in the day and I have a pink leather sleeve case for it, so I can use it for the Kindle until my hard case comes in. :)

Monday again...

Here it is, Monday again.  I swear I don't know what day it is half the time anymore. Thanks, COVID- 19!  I woke up a lot earlier than my alarm this morning. I got up to go to the bathroom and I was totally awake so there was no going back to bed. D'oh!  Oh well, hopefully tonight I'll get to sleep early and crash until my alarm tomorrow.  

I just finished writing for CampNaNoWriMo.  I got a little over 1700 words today.  It's going along pretty well!  I was feeling sort of meh earlier and was going to just type a few words but I kept at it and got in what I did.  That made me happy!  I also had no nose bleeds today or overnight and that made me happy too!  I was afraid I'd wake up with a mess but I didn't.  I'm being very careful!  I think the air purifier that my friend suggested it helping.  

Oh! I mentioned yesterday that I was watching one of the earliest Starbucks cards on eBay.  The seller offered me a deal today on it so I got it! :). I will be so happy to have that in my collection! It's in excellent condition and the pin is covered. Yay!  The three that I won yesterday were shipped out today.  

As for my Kindle, it is now saying it will be here Wednesday.  Better than Friday!  The only thing is the case for it hasn't shipped! lol. This is the reverse of last time.  I got the case and then the Kindle.  This time it looks like I'll get the Kindle and then the case. :p

I have something to keep it in for a few days so it will be okay.  The case was supposed to be delivered on Wednesday so it may come the same day.  I keep hoping that UPS will update and show the Kindle being delivered tomorrow.  I can hope, right?!

 

 

Gross!

It has been an interesting day!  It all started as usual.  I washed my bed linen and my hair.  I also put away the clothes I washed yesterday evening.  I did some other things I needed to do, too.  So, what is the gross part?  Well... I had to blow my nose this afternoon and noticed that the tissue was red!  My nose was bleeding and it was bleeding a lot.  I hate a nose bleed because they make me feel sick on my stomach.  This one was no different in that aspect.  The one thing that was different is it lasted longer than I'm used to and I felt like I lost about two pints of blood. I didn't, of course, but ugh!

My friend suggested that I use an air purifier in my room.  He left one over here sometime back and I pulled it out to give it a try.  I do not like the smell these things put out, but it's better than suffering through that mess this afternoon if it helps!

In other news, I got three old Starbucks cards on eBay today!  These are all from the early 2000s. They are all from the same seller but different auctions.  Hopefully, he'll mail them all tomorrow as one packet.  He gave free shipping on them so he'll save money if he combines them into one. :). I have another on my watch list that I am hoping to get.  

I wrote 2042 words for CampNaNoWriMo today.  Awesome!  It's going well. I have reached my goal of 20,000 and I'm going on!

Oh my goodness!

I am now only 557 words from 20,000 words.  That was my goal for CampNaNoWriMo but I will not be even close to being done by the 20,000-word mark.  Looks like this might end up being a full 50,000 words.  It's fun writing a whole different story and genre from my Zombie books.  Don't get me wrong, I love my Zombie series and characters and I will go back to them again.  This is fun.  

I am currently waiting for my dinner to finish up. I'm making my favorite hash brown casserole and I cannot wait to devour it all! LOL!  It's going to be so good and I have plenty for a few days.  Well, if I don't eat it all tonight! :P

 

 

Quick one!

I'm late because I just finished writing for today and I have a few other things to do before grabbing my Kindle and starting another book!  Here are the pictures I promise.  I love the NaNo shirt and the cards are great.  There were a few I already had but they didn't have intact pins.  I did get a good set this time.  I love the store credit one and the Onward one!  Check out my shirt and cards:
