I’m under a lot of stress at the moment. I’ll be honest – it’s mostly self-inflicted. I’m autocratting (running, for those not familiar with SCA terms) a fairly large event Labor Day weekend called Harper’s Retreat, and the week before the event is always nerve-racking to me. There’s SO much that needs to be done, …

(book review) The String Weavers, Book 1
Posted on August 21, 2013
First of all, I don’t read a lot of YA, but for some reason, science fiction YA is something like crack to me. I’ll speed through it. It might be because one of my favorite re-reads when I was younger was Podkayne of Mars. Madeline L’Engle was one of my go-to authors (she still is, …
(health/personal) Dragging today.
Posted on August 19, 2013
Abused my system a little bit over the weekend (lots of gluten), and am feeling the effects today. Not really up for a post, but I’ll try later. Just letting you know I was alive.
(writing) Realizations
Posted on August 16, 2013
It’s been a week of those for me. Realizations that my almost 40-year-old body cannot exist on 3 hours of sleep and amazing amounts of caffeine and sugar. Realizations that it’s okay to say “No, I can’t do that tonight, because I’m exhausted.” Realizations that I don’t write like everyone else, and that’s okay. …
(review) The Sekhmet Bed, by L.M. Ironside
Posted on August 14, 2013
Look, a book review! Today’s book is The Sekhmet Bed (The She-King Book One) by L.M. Ironside. I downloaded this on a whim for free when it showed up on BookBub one day (and by-the-by, if you are a book person and not signed up with BookBub, why not? I’ve found some great books …
(health/eating) Revelations
Posted on August 12, 2013
Not the book from the Bible, but my own personal revelations as I continue to work on my eating and exercise habits. I’m discovering that left to my own devices, I’ll eat pretty healthy, but there are some major roadblocks I still fall into: 1. Preplanning I suck at this. Actually, the part I suck …
(writing) TGIF – seriously.
Posted on August 9, 2013
I should have remembered that Remicade weeks knock me for a loop. I”m sorry I didn’t have a review for you guys for Wednesday, but I was so exhausted Monday and Tuesday that I just barely did my minimum for writing. Between the Remicade and my allergies (which are just awful this year. I swear, …
(health/personal) Yep, it’s Monday again.
Posted on August 5, 2013
I don’t know what it is this year, but lord, have my allergies been doing a number on me! I’m hoping that the healthy turn I’m taking with my life will keep them in line, but I don’t know. I even resorted to Benadryl last night, just so my nose would unclog enough to sleep. …
