Saturday Off?

I may be off from Dayjob, but I can’t sit idle. Even when I’m doing nothing, I’m doing SOMETHING. So far, I’ve cleaned a little, basked in the glory of typing up two short stories last night, started knitting the sleeves for that baby sweater, and took my friend’s dog for a nice long walk with my kid. It’s a scary thing to watch how much a young dog and a 4 year old seem to understand each other without even trying. XD

The two stories I finished I sent off towards my Devious Plan. >:}

As for the rest of my day, I’ll get back on the Wii (since the dog walking was more of the dog walking me) and more knitting and writing.

Yeah, I have no life. :p

Back in the saddle…

I really did terrible things on Thanksgiving. Although I made healthy dishes, I still felt like I overdid it. To make up for it, I got on the Wii today and will really try to get on it for 30 minutes every day.

I have also been making my word goals! 😀 I am very excited about that last part because I am back to working on Greenhouse and progress there needed to be made. Badly. =_=

Since the night is young, and I am actually off on a Saturday where I don’t have a mountain of laundry climbing up the wall (how much clothing to these people need to wear!!??) I will stay up as late as these old bones will allow and type up the last two short stories I’ve finished. Tomorrow, I will work on that baby sweater that is straight up haunting my dreams at his point, and do more typing if time allows. 🙂

It feels good to be this busy but to actually cross things off the to do list. 😉

Happy Turkey Day!

May your turkey comas be merry and bright! 😀

Why I Don’t Have an E-reader… Yet.

Penguin fights Amazon by cutting off libraries’ access to the books they’ve paid for (Updated)

See, the way I figure it, if I can’t get to the physical book in my library, another library somewhere will loan it to me. I keep going back and forth on whether or not I should bother with owning an e-reader but stories like this keep me firmly on the side of paper.

Rainy Day…

I had a few hours to myself today where I was able to brain storm. There is something about walking to music that loosens up the muse even if I am all dur hurr from lack of sleep. So, I cranked up the MP3 player as I walked to get my kiddo from school and I have three more little stories in the works. All non-erotica related, too! 😀 Remember Djinn? Get ready to hear more from them in the near future.

The only drawback? It was effing cold. >_< Warmer hoodie next time. :p

Revisiting Daily Word Goals.

I’ve been made an offer to be a writer for an up and coming company. I would have flexible due dates, work with my friend, and be able to write whatever my sick little heart desires all why STILL being able to be a librarian. However, I am a little nervous about being able to keep up with what I know will be a demanding schedule.
I’d given up on my daily word goals before thinking the words will come when it is time for them to come which results in sometimes not writing anything but journal entries and shopping list. 9_9 Now, I can’t play anymore. Time to go back to trying to write 1000 words a day! No mercy! No surrender! No Internetz! XD

Yeeahh, that’ll work… :p

NaBloPoMo Prompt – Happiest Moment of my Life

It’s hard to pin down the absolute happiest moment of my life. I’m sure many people will say something about their kids or significant others or graduating but rather than pick one moment or one person, I am going to have to go with one unique feeling which gives me great comfort and never fails to put a smile on my face.

Despite how bad this year has been, with Ma’s decline and inevitable death, I find that when I sit back and look at my life, REALLY take stock of everything, I am one loved and lucky lady. There are more people than I can count who genuinely care for me and are there for me no matter what silly thing is bothering me. I may not have spoken to some in years but their energy is there and I know it.

I am happy to be rid of dead weight friends and have only those who truly care be in my life. The moments I remember I am loved and have love to give are those that make me a happy lady. ^_^

Uhoh… I had an idea… >}

I don’t like to jinx things but I have a plan… It’s a crazy plan, but a plan. If it works out, it would be awesome.

But for now, I’m keeping it mum. 😉

In other news, the holiday season is almost upon us. This year, I am planning a small Thanksgiving so I don’t lose my mind. It’s the first one without Ma so my priority is to make it as normal as possible for my daughter.

And now that I’ve depressed the HELL out of you all, we’ll get to my (probably doomed) plan to lose 20 pounds by summer. I think that’s a doable goal seeing as how it’s November. :p But I’ll be updating on that periodically. Meaning “When I lose weight and NEVER when I gain it.” XD

I am a bit scatterbrained today. I always am the morning after I work till 9pm. @_@ If I reach my word goal today, I shudder to think what it will consist of. XD

No rest for the wicked…

I am feeling better but it’s taking it’s sweet time to go away. :/ I should be good to go back to the library tomorrow, though. ^^ I should have spent the day resting but other than a 20 minute nap, I spent the day on laundry duty again. It’s tedious work but the sweet feeling of snuggling in clean sheets at the end of the night is SO worth it.

This holiday season, I am hoping to give more than I receive. I am cleaning out my closet and bagging up Ma’s old clothes to donate to as many clothing drops as I can find. Anything in decent condition that I haven’t worn in three months is outta here. And I simply cannot bring myself to wear Ma’s old stuff (she was a couple sizes smaller than me anyway). It’s better all around for them to be used by someone who will need them more an I.

Now, with my new found health, I shall get some writing done. ^_^

Hello Monday, Bye bye Mojo?

Last night I was curled up in horrible pain. I have no idea why my stomach was so mad at me and I hope to the gods I’m not getting sick, but there was no writing to be had. I did some knitting (I will get this baby sweater done this month!) but I didn’t have the strength for anything else. >_<

I am feeling better today but I am taking it easy. I don’t wanna risk this turning into a long THING that makes me miss work. :/

I hope I can rope in that energy from the other day and make up what I couldn’t write yesterday. :p
