I’ve tended my plants this morning — watered, weeded my little patch, and got the hanging baskets back up after all the wind lately.
Now it’s put in a load of bedding and scold cats who think that the bed is for things other than sleeping…if you know what I mean.
Yesterday was awesome. It has me itching to finish my revisions on Skellyman. So, I will probably work on that while doing laundry. Best of both worlds. Plus I have some poetry to write if I want to submit it to a couple of anthologies I want to contribute to. It’s taken me six months, but the writing bug is starting to raise its head again. 🙂
I’ll be back.
UPDATE:Â Third load of laundry in the machines. Bed remade. Three chapters revised so far. Not a bad day’s work. Also took care of some questions about upcoming conventions. I do feel like today has been productive, even if it might not be “three hours” of cleaning.
actually, editing a piece to get it “off your desk” and off in the submission rounds… that could be considered a cleaning endevour. right? Or at least part of getting your house in order.
SPEAKING OF THE BUG THAT BIT YOU— (the writing bug), is there a fancy name for the cart that carries the, well, coffin, of a fallen king? Yah, i know. But it’s distracting! I’m just calling it a funuary cart as of right now.
I think it would depend on the time period and the country, sweetie. For instance, this: http://www.portfoliohalina.com/transport/wheel.html says that chariots were used in royal funerals. And this picture looks EXTREMELY elaborate: http://www.flickr.com/photos/pakornk/3467859210/ (that’s Laotian, I believe.) Try googling “funerary cart” or “funeral cart” and see if you can find an example that fits your need. 🙂
