Hi everyone! I was going to prepare my usual Sunday check-in in advance because we're going on a weekend getaway when it hit me: this week is actually wrap-up time! So here I am, looking back on what was quite a nice Round after all. It started badly...
Hi everyone! This week was about the parental suite and making it habitable at last. We're almost there, hoping to have it ready by the end of next week. So I spent most of my free time painting, cleaning and preparing for the new wooden floor which we'll...
Hi everyone! Last week, I noticed I was having a hard time with transition times, and this week made it clear my daughters are the same. Their sleep hasn't been so good, which of course has impacted Hubby and me. However, I find that daily meditation...
Hi everyone! This week was weird since the 3-year-olds only went to school on Tuesday. Thankfully, Hubby was home and I did not have too many classes of my own. Overall it was a good week though I realized I was not doing so well with transition times...
Hi everyone! Hubby and I have been working on my new author's website for a couple of weeks now and it's starting to look good. However, I need a bit of consistency, so I'll keep checking in from here for this Round even if it's ready before we wrap up....
Hi everyone! Today's my birthday and it's also my novel's since I compelted the first draft last year on the very same date. Hubby and our eldest were also born in August so we celebrated yesterday. As a present to myself and to you, I've made these check-ins...
Hi everyone! I missed 2 check-ins for family reasons and it made me realize I needed to adjust the way I assess my progress a little : From now on, I'll only check in on Sundays because Wednesdays are when I'm busiest. To assess the whole week, I'll post...
Hi everyone! This year, and the summer most specifically, has been a roller-coaster ride. Life happening a little too much, and always with the worst timing. When I'm being optimistic, I try to look at the bigger picture and think maybe later we'll look...
Hi everyone! This is going to be a quick one because we have a big day ahead. I'm writing this at 4 AM, in what I could call one of my usual insomnia cycles, so the work for today will be counted next check-in. Today, friends are coming to help and we're...
Hi everyone! I find myself quite efficient at the moment, though I still feel tired and don't sleep so well, so I'm wary of possible breakdowns. I do sometimes get high levels of energy and motivation before collapsing for apparently no reason. Then again,...
Hi everyone! This weekend, the girls are staying with their grandparents, so we can focus on ourselves and relax. Of course, I'm also going to write, and hopefully wrap-up the first draft of episode 1 today. The original idea was to spend yesterday cleaning...
Hi everyone! I started writing again yesterday and the story has pretty much been flowing out since then. I just love that first part where you set the details for a story and your brain seems to be boiling with new ideas! This is a short check-in because...
Hi everyone! We finally had some kind of good news this week: the PET-scan revealed Hubby's disk is not slipped after all, though the first symptoms are there alright. This means the damage can hopefully be undone, though the physical therapist can't...
Hi everyone! Last Sunday, I was telling you about losing my drive to crazy nanny stuff. It hit me hard and I'm only starting to recover, in the sense that anything related to the contract's termination gives me anxiaety but at least I can move on and...
Hi everyone! 2020 is the year when nannies go crazy! After letting go the Saturdays nanny in the spring (mostly because she wanted to be paid while not working) we're letting go the one we've had on weekdays for more than 3 years for similar reasons....
Hi everyone! The Round is starting well enough since I'm writing and doing a lot in the house. But since I'm taking a week off, it helps a lot. I'm hoping to do more this summer because it's usually a slow period for the teaching business. I only wish...
Hi everyone! Time to set goals for Round 3. As the summer is here, vacation is near and business is slow, I'll try and do as much as possible in July and August to focus on work and my daughters starting/going back to school in September. So quite a few...
Hi everyone! This Round has had lots of ups and downs and I'm sure that's true for all of us, what with the lockdown and everything COVID-19-related. Overall, it was still a good Round on my end and the sanitary crisis has given perspective and helped...
Hi everyone! And happy summer! It's been a roller-coaster week, and I basically felt up to the tasks every other day, though it tended to improve towards the end of the week. I'm still a little behind schedule but accepting it. I even planned a week off...
Hi everyone! Overall, I feel I'm doing better despite conditions being far from perfect since: - Hubby's back is still killing him and keeping him from doing anything even remotely physical.- My shoulder is also problematic though not continuously.- I...
Hi everyone! This week was mostly about surviving, I guess. After Hubby dislocated his shoulder, things became difficult. It took 4 days for his shoulder to feel better, but his back is still killing him, so lots of question marks there. As far as writing...
Hi everyone! This week is kind of off. It started well enough as we started tiling the bathroom on Monday, but then yesterday, Hubby dislocated his shoulder while he was being manipulated by an osteopath. Meanwhile, I was feeling a bit under the weather...
Hi everyone! Since I haven't been able to solve my web host issues yet, I'm undigging my first blog, well for the sake of blogging. I tried using a spreadsheet and I will keep it for the general picture while only posting progress here. I'm keeping my...
A PROPOS DE RUICHAN ruichan (tout en minuscule, c'est fait exprès ^_^) est une auteur de nationalité française mais qui se sent très internationale tant par ses origines métissées que par son parcours. Elle écrit depuis qu'elle sait tenir un stylo (heureusement...
Suite à des soucis d'hébergeurs, je reprends mon activité de blog ici, en attendant de résoudre le problème et/ou de changer d'hébergeur. Parce qu'avec Free, on n'a pas toujours tout compris...
