Friday JohnKu – AKA TGIF

This week was a doozy. I spent it all editing my fourth book and am not finished yet. I also have been working on the screen porch which badly needed an upgrade. The builder put in screens with aluminium frames and they almost melt in the salt spray. I have done replacement frames and find those are melting as well. The only thing left is a makeover with vinyl frames. I am surprised at how little time I have to work on things like a screened porch. After all the blogs, e-mails, tweets, edits, short stories, and post visits I find I have about an hour a day. I guess it’s better than nothing. I also have a patient spouse who understands. (Lucky) Today’s JohnKu (a term coined by Words4jp) is about time. I hope you  like it.

When time seems endless,

The joy of relaxation . . .

Gives way to deadline.

  1. I’d be interested to know how the vinyl frames work. I abandoned large custom windows on our porch for regular double-hung jobs when I redid the siding on our house. Good luck finding the time.

  2. Good to know about the vinyl frames. We have aluminum and while salt isn’t a problem (we’re about a couple of hours or so from the coastline), they get funky and are hard to clean. Plus they didn’t hold up well against cat spray 😉 (Our first cat, Joshua, sprayed A LOT although he was neutered.)

    1. I had a beloved cat named Higgens who loved to spray everything. She was spayed but still needed to make her marks. (She wiped out a hamper full of my shirts one time when I made her mad) Have a great weekend

      1. lol … for some reason, my husband’s shoes and clothes were often the target of Josh’s spraying. He also destroyed a number of books and our carpet. Sixteen years until (ironically) he succumbed to kidney disease. My big bad boy.

  6. Excellent Johnku John. Good luck with the porch. I don’t envy you, I am absolutely useless at doing anything practical with the exception of doing up shoelaces. Enjoy the Margarita.

  8. John, you’re working too hard for a “retired” person. 🙂
    I had a bereavement this morning, so I’ll have to catch up with your posts when i’m better able to absorb what i’m reading… Hugs.

    1. So sorry. At times like these you need to concentrate on you. My stuff will always be there but the thoughts of the one who has passed are most important now. *Hugs*
