Just a reminder before I blast you with Sunday’s post! I have a novella arriving early Tuesday morning! Have you pre-ordered your copy?
Once Upon a Legend is sexy fun set in the Wild, Wild West with a lawman who doesn’t know quite what to think about the woman who falls into his arms from the stagecoach and starts telling him of the danger coming his way… Enjoy!
Report Card
Last week…
- I guess it’s supposed to be traumatic, but on Monday morning, I showered and, as I was washing my hair, my fingers dragged away clumps of hair. It was time. My dd and the 20-year-old shaved me bald.
- Last week was ridiculously busy with appointments. On Monday, I saw my oncologist. He didn’t like my white cell blood count, so he gave me another WBC booster shot. On Tuesday, it was another trip to the city to have tests run at the hospital where the port installation surgery would take place. Then, I had the surgery on Thursday. I now have my “borg” port.
- On Wednesday, my SIL drove me to the nearest military installation an hour and a half away to get me a new ID card. I was a little bummed that my hair didn’t last long enough for the photo. LOL
- I worked on edits for one author. I also took care of a lot of administrivia—you know, stuff that has to be done but doesn’t move the goalposts or pay the bills.
- My daughter, the girls, and my SIL continue to be amazing. All four girls in the house were there for me on surgery day even though we had to begin the drive at 4 AM. I really am the luckiest Nina in the world.
This next week…
- This week is “Hell Week.” Um, by that I mean I have another chemo treatment on Monday. What follows for the rest of the week will not be pleasant.
- Once Upon a Legend releases on September 17th! I hope you get your copy!
- I want to wrap up Ignition. It’s the fourth and last book in the Delta Fire series. I moved the release date to October 1st. I’m not sure I’ll have the energy to create, so I might have to push off finishing until the week after.
- I’m working on editing projects for two authors this week. Two that I have to finish. So, I’ll be hoping for an hour or two of lucidity every morning to putter away.

Puzzle-Contest!
Because I had a guest yesterday, I didn’t run my Saturday Puzzle-Contest! So, let’s do it today!
For a chance to win a $5 Amazon gift card, solve the puzzle… It’s a photo of a ridiculously, aesthetically pleasing woman hanging laundry. I can’t seem to resist these “cottagecore” photos. Anyway, solve the puzzle then tell me whether you still hang laundry to dry outside.

I don’t hang clothes out but the clothesline is still up. I remember my Mom hanging clothes all the time.
Comment
If I had a home base and not traveling I would hang clothe out.
Comment
If I had a clothesline available, I definitely would hang my clothes outside. Especially the linens. They smell so fresh and clean. But alas, apartment living doesn’t provide solar powered clothes driers.
Comment
My husband does probably because his mom did until she passed away this past Christmas. I prefer mine out of the dryer, difference in way we were raised!
Comment
Where I live it is too dusty to hang clothes outside… we have a line up in the garage.
Comment
I do not hang out laundry. I have too many allergies that will stick to the clothes.

no

4:14 I absolutely DO hang my washing up out in the sun and fresh air. The laundry always smell so fresh.
Hanging laundry is a chore I actually enjoy doing. I like to see what the day brings early in the morning.
Comment
I used to but I was working 5-6 days and I didn’t have the time to do it. If I didn’t work on a Saturday I would. I love the smell of fresh clean sheets and clothes. My granddaughter thinks that I crazy for smelling the sheets when I bring them in. I still have the clothesline up but now I’m afraid to do it because we have a dog that likes to take off with anything that she can get ahold of.

I don’t hang laundry outside, but hang a few things near the laundry or in the bathroom or even off a cabinet handle.
