The Monday After

It’s Monday. All day. I know this because I’m looking at the calendar–which I remembered to flip to the new month while trying to figure out the day/date. Also I’m typing this on Sunday. For reasons.

Got a “fun” direct message on FB. Allegedly from Meta, it said my page would be deleted due to copyright infractions. Yeah…my virus software nabbed that one when I clicked on it trying to see who it was from. Be aware if you get one of these.

Stormy had a great finish to his indoor soccer season Friday night. They won both games by double digits and he scored a couple of goals. Yay. Outdoor soccer starts later this month. Also yay. My Cowgirls were all kinds of awesome, sweeping th tournament they played in Wichita and the Sunday afternoon games. At least the first on. The second hasn’t been played yet and I doubt I get back to this to update because…reasons. The Cowboy baseball team took on #1 Texas A&M Saturday night and won 4-0. Good times.

Siren test went as planned and we had burgers at a local burger place, MmmMmmm good. Sadly, Baseball Boy had to miss due to baseball scrimmage but Only, Stormy, LG, Jake and I enjoyed the food and company.

Did a bunch of brain-drain stuff last week. Did some updates on the website and hit a coding snag. I am soooo NOT a code kinda gal but I managed to struggle my way through getting the Spotify soundtrack list up and linked. I also culled my newsletter list. 1200+ spam emails. I can’t figure out why the spammers think my newsletter is “fertile ground.” I send out maybe 3 or 4 a year. I don’t give stuff away. And there are no financial links there. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Whatever. Anyway, as a result, I made a big ol OOPS! I managed to leave the .com out of the blind links. 🤦🏼‍♀️ An eagle-eyed friend emailed me early so I could fix it and send out an apologectic email. Ah well. What’s a book release without some drama, right?

Not much else going on. I’m out of pocket today, as you read this. LG is have a medical procedure done of several hours duration. As he’ll be under general anesthetic, Jake and I–again at the time you’re likely reading this–are in the waiting room so we can drive him home. It’s a routine thing so hopefully no worries.

I’m closing in on deciding my next project. Does Ariel have any fans out there? On that note, the second Cowgirl game is about to start and it’s televised so I am going to shut down, grab a snack and a drink and settle on the soft furniture to watch and cheer them on. How was your weekend?

    Ugh, Monday. It got right at Mondaying today, lemme tell ya. Yeah, I got one of those messages the other day, too. I reported ‘her’ to FB and then blocked the page. Yay for Storm! Yay for the Cowgirls! Yay for burgers! Bummer about the coding and the scammers and the busted links. All positive thoughts headed LG’s way. :raises hand: I’m an Ariel fan! I hope your girls won their game and that you have an awesome day today.

    We got some good, but not for public consumption, news and spent some time on that this weekend. I got my 4th round of edits done and started on the 5th. Not too long now. I actually started reading a book this weekend, too. Yay. Also, Tournament of Champions started last night on Food Network – which is about as close as I get to a sports bracket. The people I was rooting for won their rounds, so yay. Other than that, life is pretty boring.

    Being it was your birthday weekend, I thought it was very nice of all the sports teams to do well 😊.

    Sorry about the coding stuff and those nasty scammers. It really bugs me that there are so many creeps out there scamming people.

    I hope all is well with LG and that you are all home by now and resting.

    We didn’t do anything out of the norm this weekend.

    Have a good evening.

      Yeah, that was pretty cool of them. I’m sure they won just because it was my birthday. 🤣 This was a routine thing but now we wait for the screening results. We got home, he took a nap, I’m fixing tamales for dinner because he was on liquids for the past 24 hours. LOL

      Sometimes, normal is good! Enjoy your evening.
