On my to do list for this month off was cleaning up this blog. I didn’t realize how badly I had lapsed this year. But the index is updated and now I’m going to start uploading stories. I actually have a few done, so I have a tiny back log. With my new writing table, […]

I head back to work next week. I did quite a bit. Strangely, not the #1 thing on my list, but not through lack of trying on my part. We might still be able to fix that damn drawer. My kitchen is not ready to be painted, yet. But it’s so much closer, and I […]

I tossed and turned all night and woke up with a blazing headache. So I went back to bed. Anyway, head is not pounding today, but the kids have school off. Not sure if any writing will get done, but I will make the attempt.

I actually finished that Chelsea story yesterday. Maybe 800 words total, but my daily goal is around 400, so I feel very good about it. Now, of course, I have to do the same thing again today. Sit and write, not finish a story. We’ll see. On the house front, I found a cleaner that […]

I did get my tablecloth made yesterday, but I threw out my back doing it. It was a rainy, miserable day, and I didn’t have any dry kindling. So no fire, and I sat in a weird position while hemming. And I hit hyperfocus, so I hand-stitched that hem for two straight hours with no […]

Well, I did it, I found a writing table. I am, in fact, sitting here now. No, no pictures yet. I’ll get there though. It’s a nice, old, maple table. Missing the leaf, so it’s smallish, and round. I have six chairs, but can only fit three. The others will come in handy, I’m sure. […]

Started to get going yesterday, only to get hit with a migraine. So I went to bed. Got up this morning, ready to fix that damn drawer, but I had, indeed, bought the wrong size drawer slide. At this point, I did consider sitting down to write, but my husband gave an off the cuff […]

So we didn’t get the projected 16 inches of snow. We got 22. In under 15 hours. We had branches snapping, trees falling, and intermittent internet for two days after the storm finally ended. All in all, one for the worst winter storms I’ve been through, and certainly the worst since I left the snowbelts […]

As I closed my eyes last night, I realized I hadn’t blogged, but in my defense, it was a really weird day. It started with the banked fire going smokey at 4 am after a night of tossing and turning on my bad back. So bad sleep, early start, and lots of smoke. By the […]

Yesterday was all ice and wind, today we got the snow. But today is a not a lazy day… well not as lazy. The kids have chores and I’ll be checking some things off my to do list, including writing. My fire is already going, but I need to charge my headphones, especially with the […]
