Mel: Okay you could print them out as sheets and mail them to people. With red string. And they could build their own murder boards. And then send you pictures so you can tell him how close they are.

(True story, I know it would be way too time consuming and my limited time is better spent writing the books, but I would 100% create a full-colour supplemental hardcover scrapbook with clipped news articles, in-world book excerpts, victim profiles, evidence photos, etc.)

Six Scorched Roses by Carissa Broadbent
I was nervous coming into this novella. It's tough to do a full blooming romance.
This book was so well done, that Carissa is a new favorite author of mine.

I wasn't feeling the workout this morning. I was moving slow and time was running out.
But I clicked play.
I still was moving slow but I got through the session.
It feels good on the other side of that workout now. And I'm glad I did it. Just running late now. 🤦♀️
Here's to 1 more day then Friday.

Beautiful morning to be out. Yes, it's still dark and will probably rain later, but it was nice when I was out. I'm happy the nice weather is coming. At least until my allergies kick in. 🙄
We walked our 1.59 mile & worked off some of that energy for the dogs. Arrow...he's still barking in the house.

Just back to the office after a 28 minute walk that resulted in 1.86 mile. Cool.
The weather is gorgeous out. Sun's shining and weather is just right. (Now I have the fan on after warming up.)
Nice little exercise in the middle of the day to keep me going.

Someone has her favorite sit. She love waiting here while I workout. Though, I'm glad she not Arrow were at my feet today. Balance wasn't a friend this morning. I moved slow to make sure my feet where flat before anything. So slow start to a Monday, but a start.
Here's to hoping Monday goes well.
