Definitely need to use the other book after I'm done with this one. Oi. Not enough exercises and too many grammar points. Not enough Irish tutor and too many grammar points and not enough ability to tell whether I'm doing things right.

We got lumber yesterday for raised beds! We put together the raised beds. Then we realized we have no clue what we're doing. >.> Anyway, now I need to either smack the boy into action or do it myself, where 'do it' means finish assembling the raised beds (our screws were too short oops) and fill it with mulch. But I already repotted the peppers and cukes since we're not quite out of the danger zone for frost. Probably. But not quite. So. Food from the ground.

Other than that I guess there's not much new? I did do a bunch of cooking yesterday but because of garden hijinks I didn't end up getting around to the red velvet cake. Maybe tonight, depending on what I'm doing when I get home and how much Person of Interest I can churn through initially. At least we're sort of back on track with that. Even if I'm not at all on track with Nano oops.

So. Today's statement of intent! Nano Nano Nano. Deleted scenes in Twisted Thread and Nano. If I get inspired, something for Shimmerzine, but other than that, Nano Nano Nano. I want to get the goddamn draft of that story done by the end of April, and it's getting increasingly difficult to fit that in. Though I suppose the plus side there is that Nano, apart from winning Camp Nano, doesn't actually have a deadline. Argh, so much to write, so little time in the day. Which means, yes, time to get my sorry butt moving. Ikimashyou, as Mister E would say. Well, no, he says Ikimasu, but it's the same semantic thing.
