Nutshells & The Tag Of Happiness

 ‘places small shriveled nutshell on desk’
Yes, this is a VERY small nutshell for June.  Why?  Because the Black Death swept through our house in mid May and decided to stay for an extended visit.  The nasty thing had a regular holiday messing with us and nearly got the best of us a couple of times.  Because of this less-than-welcome house guest, June was mostly lived in outright survival mode, either trying to just live through the flu in our temporary hospital ward, or work and do double-duty for the infirmed.
So some of us spent June looking like this . . .

Or this . . .

We all took turns.  We’re a very fair family.
So, with that explanation out of the way – onto the teensy, tiny nutshell.

 

Hosted and wrapped up The Reluctant Godfather’s blog tour and giveaway.

 

Sketched out a ‘plan of attack’ for my future writing.

 

Wrote.  A little.  ‘nervous laugh, buries face in keyboard’

 

Updated my Goodreads Reading Challenge because I am just TOO GOOD.  #kidding.  But I did up the challenge from 120 books to 170.

 

Shipped out giveaway packages to two lucky winners.

 

Had the opportunity to share my art portfolio with an author seeking an illustrator.

 

AND – moved furniture and cleaned – a lot.  After sharing a bedroom with my two sisters for eighteen years my twin and I are moving out and my older sister will have the bedroom all to herself.

My twin and I will be moving into our living room, which we are converting into a bedroom.  Our house has one of those confounded open floor plans, so it’s taken some ingenuity (and a wall to wall row of bookshelves) to achieve some privacy and block former traffic flow.
UNFORTUNATELY – I didn’t take ‘before’ pictures of our living room.  ‘beats head against desk’.  #Iblamethesickness

And that my dear followers . . . ‘checks notes feebly’ . . . is the nutshell. 

 

 

 

I like being happy – and I like answering questions – so you can bet that I had a lovely time pulling together this tag!
