A whole week!

Here's to a solid week of writing. A total of 3 ½ hours. I never thought I would make it.

I was looking out my window, by my desk, and saw a large flock of Cedar Waxwings attacking our mulberry tree. These birds are beautiful. I was able to get a photo of one, I'll upload it when I post this. I'm not really sure what type of bird they are, but I THINK they may be finches, they have some similarities to some of them at least.

Bug got out again this morning. He sneaked out behind me as I was going out for a smoke. He has been coming back later in the afternoon lately, as opposed to, a few days later, like at the old house.

Every time I go out for a smoke, I use that time to observe the local wildlife. I take a running count, in my head of the different animals. So far today, I have seen a Cedar Waxwing, Dove, Mockingbird, Cat, and Human. Yes, I count humans, we are animals after all.

Oops... I forgot to set the kitchen timer, as I was busy when the alarm went off and missed it. Usually, when I do that, I set the kitchen timer app on my phone, but I forgot to do it this time. Oh well, I'll just type until my hand starts hurting too much.

I am still ignoring the red worms, as I type. That's not exactly true, I see them, and notice them, but I don't go back and edit them. Sometimes, while I'm typing, I notice a typo without even looking at the screen, and I automatically edit, but I'm doing better.

I have my cup of coffee next to me, however, this afternoon is going to be not so much fun, as I'm out of my diet soda. Too much coffee and I get an acid stomach. No fun. What are your “go juices?” I, almost exclusively, drink coffee in the mornings and Diet Dr Pepper, or the Kroger version, Diet Dr. K. Oh yeah, and I put nothing in my coffee, no sugar, sweeteners, cream, creamers, or milk. Now occasionally I will put about a half teaspoon of cinnamon in the grinds. That gives it a bit of flavor.

Well. The hand is telling me it's time to chill for a while. I'll be back this afternoon.

Hey. Should I post the two sessions together or as separate posts, so it makes more sense when I say things like that?

Back for round two.

And nothing...

OH! I can add a couple of animals to the list. A cockroach and a grackle. Not much, but something. Oh yeah, and a white butterfly. Not sure what they're called though.

I'm almost coffeed out. I need soda. But, I don't have the money. Maybe I can convince my brother to go to the store. ;)

Speaking of him. He showed me a snapshot of his Facebook feed. It showed my post about my blog mentioning jury duty, and right below it was another friend posting about jury duty. That, I thought, was quite humorous.

Starting to get bugged by the red worms, but I still haven't gone back to fix them. I am getting stronger about that.

ARGH! I keep forgetting to research keyboards! I MUST remember to do that when I'm done here. Someone remind me, okay? ;)

Ugh. Hand starting to hurt now. Gonna soldier on until I can't stand it or until the fifteen minutes is up.
Only eight minutes. I can do this!

Another reason I need the external keyboard is that touchpad. I hate it. It erased two entire sentences as I was typing them.

Ugh. I help the shift key too long and it produced a loud and high-pitched beep asking my if I wanted to activate Sticky Keys. NO! Those are annoying.

Here is my question of the day. What do you write on? Your phone? A tablet? Laptop? What? Let me know. I enjoy finding all the ways people write.

Okay. Three minutes left, but I can't take it anymore. My hand is shaking so bad and it really hurts.


Until tomorrow!

Here is the picture I promised.

  1. Go research keyboards.

    I almost always wore on my desktop though I have laptops I can use in a pinch or when traveling. I keep all my current stuff on a jump drive so I can switch computers readily.
