Today has been a good day.

Seriously, it has.  After last weekend’s hectic rush, this weekend sauntered by slowly, and I really appreciated it, despite the fact that the van decided to die on Thursday. Kate came up Friday night and Saturday morning we were off – first to Carter Hill to get cider donuts, apple cider and caramels.  We also …

(personal/writing/to-do) Day 3 of Vacation and I feel…tired

Vacation can be exhausting!  Especially if you go somewhere.  Granted, we only went to Worcester for a few days, but sleeping in a strange bed, eating terribly (pizza and soda and chips and CRAP), and hanging out until all hours of the night is fun and tiring.  I feel like my brain is full of …

(personal/to-do/writing) Another Sunday comes…

It seems like Sundays are the only days I blog.  Which isn’t good, but hey, it’s better than complete radio silence, right?  I’m trying. Vacation comes up next week – I’m planning on one day of just writing, nothing else.  But I have to get through this week first. I’m reading a couple of interesting …

(personal/to-do) Sunday wakes up late and satisfied

Yep. I slept in today.  11:30, everyone.  It was AWESOME!  My hubby rocks my socks.  I really needed to sleep in.   Today I have lots of stuff to do.  I’m working overtime all week, which means I’m leaving by 8:15 every morning, and not getting home until after 9:30 pm.  Bleah.  So I need …

(personal/to-do/writing) NOT DEAD!!!

Really.  I’m not.  Even though I haven’t posted in like a month.  Life has just been – well, it’s been life. However I’m finally over the walking pneumonia and the residual exhaustion, and I’m refocusing on certain things: family, my house, and my writing career. I’m exploring some things.  I’m changing some things.  I’m rediscovering …

(personal/to-do/writing) Sunday is a recharge day.

Yesterday, I will admit, I did very little.  I fed my parents’ cats.  I wrote about 690 words on Forgotten.  I signed up for Camp NaNoWriMo.  And I watched the Red Sox lose again. *sigh*  But today, I have more I want to do. Before we get into that, though, I wanted to let you …

Blessed Beltane to you all!

It’s a wet Beltane, but that’s a good thing – we need the rain, and it smells green and growing outside.  I spent my Beltane at the hospital, getting a Remicade treatment, and I slept through it.  I’m so tired!  But so much has happened in the past week, I’m not surprised! I’m now officially a …

(tgif) The day after…

No writing yesterday on Forgotten yesterday, but I wrote all the emails I needed to (now I just need to actually send them) and wrote the back cover copy for Spells, which I also need to email.  By the time I got home yesterday, my hands hurt so badly that I took some muscle relaxants …

(personal/writing) Suck it up, buttercup (or the need to stop looking for excuses)

I haven’t posted much lately.  I haven’t really been writing, either – I’ve been stupidly busy, but that’s not an excuse.  I was listening to Nathan Lowell’s excellent #tommw podcast (http://www.nathanlowell.org/tommw/) and he talked recently about not making excuses for why he wasn’t writing – the fact that he had to stop doing that and …

(writing/personal) Turning over a new leaf

I’m trying to make myself a little more accountable lately.  Hopefully, this time, the change will stick. Miles walked today: .87 (I walked 1.07 miles yesterday, so I’m not sure where I am.  I’ll figure it out for tomorrow’s blog.) Morning Pages: Day 63 – I’ve done two full months, and I think it’s finally …
