Update Link: The Archer – Part 2

I wasn’t feeling well most of the weekend, and this morning I felt really … off. I don’t really know how to explain it better than that. I ended up using my last personal day and just slept pretty much the entire morning, only getting up around 1:30. Other than a sore throat, I don’t really know why. Hopefully it’s just one of those things where I just needed more sleep than I’ve been giving myself.

I’m almost finished with the breakdown of You’re Not Sorry. You’ll probably get another update of The Archer tomorrow or Wednesday, and then we’ll have the last few updates of Not Sorry. As always I intend to update daily, but I’ve been struggling with the energy levels when I’m done work. This is the last full week so with any luck, that’s almost past us.

I wasn’t planning to take the weekend off, but it happened that way. I don’t really have a good reason for Saturday, but at least Sunday I can tell you was my birthday and I hung out at my parents with my sister and her kids. They don’t know it, but I’m using them for secret writing research, lol.

My oldest niece, Olivia, turns sixteen later this year (sob) and we’re talking about her driving which is ridiculous. She excels in pushing all my sister’s buttons and has upgraded to ragebaiting her little sister, my middle niece Isla, who will be fourteen this September. (also ridiculous). Liv complimented the fake tan Isla got for her spring dance, and Isla looks at her, deadpan, “That’s a lie.” Liv kept trying to tell her she was being serious, and Isla was just incredibly frustrated because WHAT WAS THE ANGLE.

I congratulated Liv on the new talent unlock. Impressive. She’s coming along nicely 😛

The nephew, Nolan, who is my inspiration for Cameron’s obsession with Spiderman in all my toddler stories, has quit soccer where he was a budding star and was horrified because his mother wanted to play, and I quote “a weird sport.” My guy, lacrosse isn’t a weird sport, but go off. He just turned 12, so good luck to all of us. He’s almost a teenager now.

It was good to hang out with them. As difficult as it is to see my little babies growing up, they’re turning into such interesting humans. Long time readers know I used to baby sit them almost all the time and when my sister still lived in town, I was constantly at their house, so we joke I have 20% parental contributions.

See you in the next one!
