I work for....."cheap"



I read a lot of books. Many, I get free for my personal reviews. Recently, I've noticed many grammatical errors in various books that I've read.
Don't the publishing companies have proof readers?
Now I don't have a B.A. in literature, but I do own a dictionary and a thesaurus, and I'd gladly take a part-time job as a proof reader.

Like I said, I use table space in the kitchen for tumbling, and oxidizing, the bathroom for rinsing, (I was warned about spilling steel shot down the kitchen sink and ruining the garbage disposal, so I decided on the bathroom for this task. Then I sometimes have to use the laundry room. This is where all the...

Post July 4th workout and update

Image
I took off a week from running since my legs were hurting everyday, all day. So it was a bit challenging to start back up this week. I'm so greatful for the cooler mornings that we've been having. Today: 1.77 miles Weight: let's not talk about it; I'm on a see-saw right now. Eating fairly well. Staying away from sweets. Bought a new swimsuit yesterday, so can start swimming when it is too hot to run or walk. Not your traditional swimwear; I wanted something to exercise and do laps in. It's more for cross-training. More to come..... To read my previous post. go here .
