Cleaning
Now, why did I move all that stuff out of my car all in one day?
We were expecting rain that would flash freeze then snow was to follow it. I wanted to get it out sooner, but every time I turned around there was bad weather. It was mild that day despite a light drizzle, so it was time to get it done. It hasn't helped overall with getting my place clean as I now have a sink hanging out in my little dining room, but that's life.
I start placement soon too and I intend to drive there, so I thought it would be nice if my car wasn't full of furniture.
I'm not sure what got into me on Friday, but I'm losing the steam I had that day. My big plan for tonight is to fold the clothes I washed the other day and maybe put away some other things that need to be put away.
Writing
I've mostly taken a break this weekend from writing other than my blog. I did do a little on the editing on my novel though. It took me about half a day to find a better word than I initially chose because it's quite a specific thing and all the words normally suggested just didn't quite fit. I also fixed some other parts that seemed overly wordy and jargon filled. I'm annoyed it took me that long, but the smallest amount of progress is better than none at all.
School
Second semester starts tomorrow. So this week is about getting used to a new schedule, new rooms, and I also begin my work placement at a local production company, which I'm super excited about!
Fitness
I'm starting to exercise a little more as of this week. First, I need to clear the area for it, so I'll be working on that some tonight.
Music
I haven't been playing every day yet, but I know I will. Especially as I get my place cleaner, I'll have less other things to do.
And that's how it flows today.
