Life Update - February

 Hey!

 I don't have any story for you, just thought I'd pop in with a quick update on life.

I've been trying to write a lot but some days it just wasn't happening in January. I ended up with 21k words or something like that. My goal was to write my new "Another Homewood Christmas" story in January, but the 2023 Christmas Collection story wanted written first. So I did it. Now I'm working on the Homewood story. It's rather fun. :) And I think I know all the rest of the scenes I need to write. I just have to have time to write them.

Yesterday we suddenly decided that we needed to finish our "back room" and move my sister's office there because the room she's in now has such a slanted floor (our house was built around 1880s, so things aren't square) and it was causing her shoulder, back, and neck problems. So . . . I spent a lot of time today helping move things in the office, taking apart the old desk we had that we were getting ride of, moving things from the back room and vacuuming large rugs and putting them away. Our house upstairs reminds me of a few years ago when we gutted and redid several rooms downstairs. It's crowded and a mess. Thankfully, this "finishing" project isn't as involved.

We are going to put down flooring (we've just had plywood floors), and trim out the inside of the windows and put things back or in different places. But there are two large walk-in closets that will need flooring too, so it's not just one large room. But at least the floor if flat. The flooring shouldn't be hard.

So, my writing will have to wait until Monday.

 I'm also working on getting ready for our church's Widows' Valentine Luncheon on the 11th. Then we'll start a new year of ministry to the dear widow ladies. Our pen names this year will be musical terms. We have some fun ones, some pretty ones, and some that might not sound like names.

What else am I doing?

Oh, KDWC is coming up! I'm trying to get all the last minute things for that done that need done. 

Anyway, life is busy. It's certainly not dull. I hope you are all having a good week. Can you believe it's February? Strange how fast the days go by, doesn't it? Have you been writing anything? What special thing are you going to do to celebrate someone else for Valentine's Day? (Even if it's not on that day.) Let me know.
