Wednesday, Mastodonians,, and King Charles gave an excellent throne speech. "The true north is indeed strong and free."

The week's score so far: Erik: 1 Migraine/Depression: 1. Today I go for a tie-breaker.

How's your week so far? Any victories to share?

Tuesday, Mastodonians. The day where we say . . . Tuesday!

Gym, writing, marketing, cleaning the house, and errands. Will it all get done? Who knows?

For fun, what are your morning motivation songs? Here's one of mine:

Monday, Mastodonians. Got a TO DO list as long as my arm, but thanks to good sleep, brekkie, and no migraine, it all feels doable.

Hope it stays that way, and that everyone who reads this has an excellent week.

@mattotcha A bollock dagger!

They're not rare, though (as the link subtitle suggests).

You see them portrayed in medieval art, and they were common in England. They were a mainstay in medieval armouries for centuries because of how practical they were.

Neat article. Thanks!

Do you have a favorite pair of socks?

Yes. They are hand knit, don't squeeze my calves and incredibly comfy and warm in the cold months.

Are they lucky?
Well, they're spending this existence as a pair of my socks, so I'm thinking not.

Hello, Mastodonians! The Thursday doldrums are hitting hard, so it's time for loud music to sooth the savage soul and power the drained brain.

Here's one from my playlist:

Tense Wednesday, Mastodonians. Launched an ad campaign last night, and now anxious to see how much money will come instantly rolling into my bank account.

...What do you mean it doesn't work like that?

Sigh. Back to the word mines. Have a great one!

Tuesday, Mastodonians. The day where we say . . .

Damn, the long weekend went by quick.

Hitting the gym, then work & housework. Got a long list, so will to work through it like I did last Weds. when stuff got done. See if it works twice.

What's up for everyone else?

Friday, Matodonians, and you know what that means...

COFFEE SHOP MORNING!!!

Today is all about marketing materials, and I'm looking forward to it (yes, I'm odd). With luck, I should be able to launch new ads by next week.

Thursday, and I got nothing. Which seems to be a pattern for Thursdays.

Is it because I'm tired at this point in the week? Or is it Thursday itself, our arch-nemesis, sucking life and energy from us in an attempt to stop Friday, everyone's friend, from coming...

Wednesday and my head is clear after two days of migraine. Time to get caught up.

20 things to do today. For fun I think I'll list each task in the comments as I complete them, to see how my plan survives reality.

Feel free to follow along!

Update. I have been at my desk for three hours and haven't written a damn thing.

Argh.

Going to go do some housework, then come back and hit it again after lunch. Because I will get words on page, dammit, before the day is done!

Monday, Mastodonians. Rain tomorrow. I can feel it in my skull (stupid migraines).

Time to put on music to drown the pain and write some words.

Also, heard Trump lost another argument with China. Anyone surprised?
