Butt of Iron.<\/p>\n
THE DAY<\/p>\n
And it was one of those days. \u00a0After wrestling with this section all bloody week (except yesterday when I came close to murder and ended up drinking a martini instead), I decided that this was it; no more futzing around; FINISH this sucker. \u00a0So I pretty much didn’t budge from the chair ALL day. \u00a0I even skipped exercising in favor of muscling through this puppy.<\/p>\n
I did it: about 4500 K. \u00a0My butt is sore. \u00a0I’ve got heartburn, too. \u00a0I think it’s time for a walk–if it’s not so hot I want to put a bullet through my head; I could never ever\u00a0<\/em>live in Arizona (though I did manage Texas, twice)–and then, tomorrow, I get to do this all over again. \u00a0New section, moving on.<\/p>\n WRITING OUT LOUD Day 1: 1000 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Day 23-26: 9450 Blog Post: 400 Butt of Iron.

\nWhat I’m Watching:
\nStill on\u00a0Dr. Who<\/em>, season 6. \u00a0I have to say, I saw a lot of it coming and then other stuff not. \u00a0It’s still fun enough that I’ll watch. \u00a0A friend says I need to go back to the beginning of the reboot before going further, and I’m like…whine, whine…but I like Matt Smith! \u00a0But,\u00a0oh-KAY.<\/em>
\nAlso got the husband hooked on The Americans. \u00a0<\/em>Fun for me to re-watch it from the beginning, too. I’d forgotten quite a bit.
\n***
\nWhat I’m Reading:
\nFirestarter. \u00a0<\/em>Again. \u00a0Never did manage to get much past a few chapters the first around. \u00a0This time, I’m either more curious or less impatient; I don’t know. \u00a0(OTOH, I really\u00a0have\u00a0<\/em>decided to chuck\u00a0End of Watch. \u00a0<\/em>I am just not interested.) \u00a0Similarly,\u00a0The Shining Girls<\/em>, while interesting, just wasn’t . . .\u00a0compelling. \u00a0<\/em>I don’t care about the characters at all, so it’s like . . . meh. \u00a0Move on.
\n***
\nWhat I’m Listening to:
\nExtreme Prey. \u00a0<\/em>It’s my present to myself. \u00a0The husband says I cut Sandford way more slack than, say, King because I like Lucas Davenport. \u00a0He’s right; I’m attached to the character, so I’ll forgive less than stellar writing. \u00a0I just hope this isn’t the last\u00a0Prey\u00a0<\/em>book.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
