Updated: Fab at FortyGot my wood all stacked on the weekend. By Saturday my back was all better. I think it was just a temporary soreness from my adjustment, nothing more. So I hauled and stacked for about three ours on Saturday and then started up again on Sunday. Saturday was pretty exhausting. I decided to go out afterwards and reward myself with a pair of shoes. I ended up with a pair of brown boots and a pair of black pumps. Sunday was much easier. Maxx showed up and gave a hand and together we got in a good workout and finished the job.
Today I have to take my car into the shop for its six month oil change, tire rotation thingy. Which cuts into my writing time, but I figure I'll just take the chapters of Brimstone I had yet to finish reading and make my notes on those while I waited.
I started my morning by going through and starting the edit on my first 35 pages for the Emily. It's been a while sense I entered a contest and I feel a bit rusty. Think I'll use the scoresheets just to remind myself of what I should be looking at.
I also plan to start researching and writing my query letters this week. I know the one agent I want to send it to who's at the top of my list, but I need to pick four more. Figure I'll send out five at a time and go from there.
How was everyone else's weekend?

The back of my legs are a bit stiff today.
I thought I'd be sore since I went for a walk yesterday as well, but I feel fine. Guess all this walking has me in better shape than I thought.
Mine was pretty busy - gym Saturday am, grocery shopping in the pm, cleaning house and lots of cooking! Plus giving Chloe her meds every 12 hours, but she takes them like a pro.
Glad you got all your wood stacked!!
Glad your back is better. And you got good exercise stacking wood!
House hunting, watching a football game, sleeping in late, and writing - that was my weekend. :-)
Good luck with the agent search and the contests!
Weekend wasn't long enough, but it usually isn't.
Kelly, hope you are feeling better. My back bothers me off and on. I think it is arthritis. Pits getting old you know. You burn wood for heat? Many years ago I lived in a house with a wood heater. That is back-breaking work but the heat is warm and I recall the smell of wood was inviting on a cold day.
