Weekend links.

I tentatively revoke the ‘Corona Edition’ addition on the links.  We’re certainly not down to the numbers in New Zealand, but the UAE is finally in a downward trend (mostly).  I had some actual (?) progress (??) this week. Two calls yielded the potential of […]

Weekend links, Corona Edition #11.

It was a very strange week for many reasons.  Two people approached me for work, and didn’t seem to be able to understand the concept of ‘no.’  For the big company (and the individual), I knew I wasn’t a good fit for the requested work, […]

I had one low day where I just couldn’t do anything, but otherwise, it was a good week.  I made it to K9 Friends for the first time since March, I wrote a lot, and I am still doing my best to continue exercising. Love […]

Weekend links, Corona Edition #9.

A week of progress (mostly).  I’m working on two new books (I have my reasons), and other than some strange cravings (movie popcorn with M&Ms — why?), it’s been another week of about the same.  Although we did manage to get our aircon fixed, as […]

I finished editing a book (sort of).  I’m 95% through the second draft of a book (cutting over 10,000 words), but the tedious work is still ahead.  I did fairly well in my attempts to not drink, but cracked on Monday night and split a […]

Another week in isolation!  This one seemed to tick along, and I made some progress with the novel I’m editing.  Hubs and I (mostly) stuck to our non-drinking pact, and we’re excited that Australian Masterchef is back. Good news, delivery and food from the grocery […]

Greetings from complete lockdown in the UAE.  Not like I’d been doing any amount of traveling in the past few weeks, but in the past few days, I’ve only gone out once (with a permit) to the store.  God bless the delivery men of Dubai.  […]
