Busy day today

Busy day today. Household chores, errands, exercise, writing, printing. Printed out the entire Murder by the Mile so I could find and highlight all the places that mention the previous murderer or give a clue to his/her identity and need to be replaced by the new murderer and the new clues. That's going to be quite a chore, but the book is going to be better.

Got my hair cut and then went to the gym in the afternoon. Only walked a mile, but did 15 minutes on the exercise bike. My feet were really hurting me when I was walking so that's why I cut that short. I couldn't get on the arm curl machine because other people were lined up to use it, but I did 25 reps each arm at home with my hand weights.

Back to the writing, I have a new goal of writing 300 or more words a day. (I started Sunday.) Doesn't matter where the words go: MBTM, Circles, Debt Free At Last!, Harbor Street, Createslate, etc. Maybe even Facebook. The point is the destination, but the journey. I will have written at least 33,300 words by December 31. Right now my count is 1554 so I'm running a bit ahead, which is what I hope will happen. When I go a whole year, my count will be at least 109,500. The point of this is to put my time in. Many times I don't want to write as much as I want to have written. If you can follow that.

It's been a summer of breakdowns. My car, the house air conditioner, the house electrical box, my printer, components of my home stereo system, the hot water heater, and yesterday the DVD player. Things wear out. No matter how carefully you care for an item, eventually you have to replace it. Printer, hot water heater, and one home stereo component have all been replaced. The others were repaired or awaiting replacement. But next up, the roof on my house has to be replaced. No leaks yet, but it's getting there. Sign. There's everything in the world except enough money and time.

Time for bed. Talk to you tomorrow.
