Oh, y-a-w-n. It’s everybody’s favorite time of year, when we lose an hour. I feel as if I should go look for it; maybe it’s hiding in the basement.
Or not.
I do know that in a week or so, I’ll be grateful for the extra daylight in the evenings. I won’t feel as if I should be hibernating.
Last week, late Saturday/early Sunday, my daughter arrived home after another international adventure, this one in Australia and Italy. We spent most of last week catching up, figuring out groceries for two, getting her car squared away, and watching the Frost Giants play.
Also? I’ve been mystified by how an extra person in the house exponentially increases the number of dirty dishes.
On the writing front, I’ve been heads down working on The Marigold Miracle. I like where it’s going, but I do worry a bit about the length. It’s going to be longer than the first book. Although, since I’ve added a point of view, maybe that’s expected. Then again, it’s fantasy, so I feel like I have more word count to play around with.
In any case, I hope to have this draft wrapped up by the end of March so I can let it rest all of April before diving back in.
Also, I have all of March’s Booking Through Thursday posts ready to go. You can look forward to:
- March 5: Favorite format for reading
- March 12: What did you end up loving (or appreciating) from a required reading list
- March 19: Spring break/vacation reading
- March 26: Does your reading change with the seasons
Hope to see you on Thursday!

You’re right about this being everybody’s least favorite day. Or at least it sure is mine. Plus I had the misfortune to schedule a grocery pickup at 8am today, which meant heading out at a time when I’m pretty sure we’re still supposed to be sitting on the sofa, sipping coffee, easing into our day. Had to be done, though.
Sounds like a wonderful visit with your daughter! And it sounds like she’s been enjoying some wonderful opportunities. So glad you had the chance to catch up… it’s worth a few extra dishes, right?
And congratulations on all the progress on TMM — how wonderful to feel like the end is in sight!
