Fave Scrivener tips or habits?

Murder by the Book, our true crime/horror book club is meeting up IRL this week. Someone asked if I'd be there- that's a hard nope for me ma'am.

They also asked if the bookstore was haunted. A bookseller started telling a creepy story I straight up walked away mid sentence.

Me: Preparing two gigantic, elaborate breakfast plates of baked oatmeal, yogurt, strawberries, peanuts, greens, bananna....

Husband: 'all that for the kids?'
Me: 'uh yeah. The kids.'

~if by 'kids' you mean my nine chickens then yes, yes it is for them.~

To prepare I picked up a 40lb bag of chicken feed and threw my back out. Oops. Checkers is not impressed.
