Do Over!

Yesterday I spent most of my day editing my book. I had completely finished it by eight o'clock last night. After backing up my book to a CD I watched a few shows on TV and then I went to bed early. Even though I was mentally exhausted I had a hard time falling to sleep because I was so excited about finally completing the editing process.

After doing the Harley Show I made breakfast and that's when I decided to not walk today because I have already walked 128 miles this month and I only have to walk twelve more miles to reach the 140 miles required for this month.

At ten o'clock I sat down at my laptop and decided to do a fast Microsoft Word spelling and grammar check on my book to see if it could find anymore corrections I needed to make. I'm glad that I did even though it made me sick.

I do not know what I did wrong, but for some reason after I clicked in the Preferences Spelling and Grammar box and asked it to edit, it either removed all of my previous editing or I did something wrong because all of my editing work is gone! I grabbed my backup disks to use but all of them were the same without my edits up to at least page sixty-seven where I stopped re-editing this evening. It doesn't make any sense to me.

I am hoping to find that all of yesterdays edits stuck because yesterday I made corrections on the last eighty-seven pages and I have my fingers crossed. I know that Mercury is not in retrograde right now, but I am wondering if we are near or under a full moon.

I am glad that I got at least sixty-seven pages done today and I am hoping to finish the rest of my book edits tomorrow if I can. Actually, I am glad that I checked this out this morning because I would have unknowingly turned in a book without all of the edits. I guess it is a blessing in disguise.

This afternoon Lisa, Matt and Meghan came out to the rescue ranch to walk our dogs and they brought two new volunteers with them! Tired of re-correcting the pages in my book I took a much needed break and went outside to thank and visit with them and I am glad that I did because they had me laughing from the get-go and I really needed something to laugh about. Thank y'all!

Kinky is returning to the ranch tomorrow afternoon and I am looking forward to seeing him. This evening he told me  that the Dallas Morning News article came out today and he said it was great and he has a copy to give to me tomorrow and I can't wait to read it. It is now a little past eight o'clock and I am going to bed because I am going to have a very busy day tomorrow. Please keep your fingers crossed for me that I didn't loose yesterdays edits.

Y'all have a great evening!
