I fell behind on blog posts again. Figures. Life has been crazy around here...between kids and a broken refrigerator (and had to call repair man today on the new one), and everything else, I haven't been writing as much as I would like. My novels have tanked (totally MY fault) and my TBR pile is steadily growing with books I've bought. There are quite a few more coming out that I have to get this week, next week and the week after. Plus my poor computer is having major issues and I'm just barely keeping it alive so I can write. (What's that they say? "If it's not one thing, it's another"?)
School starts the day after tomorrow (can you hear me singing Celebration from Kool and the Gang?). For the first time in YEARS, the school supply list and registration fees didn't break the bank!!!
August CampNaNoWriMo will be a win but it took me longer with this story than any other story in the past to get to the 50,000 words. Hopefully in November, I'll do better. Maybe. I don't know what I'm going to write yet.
I really do though, need to get my head straight. I have a TERRIBLE case of cabin fever. Maybe this weekend I'll try to get out of the house away from other people and just sit and read or write. Who knows? I did get out of the house last weekened but only briefly. I got to see my cousins who I haven't seen in years. One cousin and I are only five years apart. When we were younger, the age gap was like a canyon. Today, the canyon is now like a teeny tiny crack because we're both OLDer and just slightly more mature.
Now I have to focus on getting the house ready and the spare room fixed up for a guest next month (SO EXCITED). I said SPARE ROOM!!! I have a spare room now! Isn't that exciting?? Amazing how much more room I have now with only one child left at home. LOL I'm sure all of you will remind me that I said this when the youngest one is out of the house in a few years and I'm whining about the empty nest. LOL I'm sure I'll find something to do with myself.
I'm ready for football season now thank you very much. School is starting and fall is coming so it's football time. Can't wait to pull out my favorite sweatshirts and eat junky sort of snack foods all day on Sundays. I don't think I'll be cooking much this season. LOL
Now I have to get back to the writing because I swore I'd have a decent amount of pages written before I head to bed tonight.
Sounds like you need to take a day and go to the river where you can have some solitude.
ReplyDeleteMy youngest cousin is 8 years older than me, so I understand about the age difference not meaning so much as you get older.
Unfortunately, it looks like Da Bears will suck again this year. Why do they keep getting crap quarterbacks that can't throw a first down to save their life????
Won't be going to the river, too far to drive. Probably just the canal.
ReplyDeleteRight now, Da Bears look far better than the Cubs do at the moment. LOL Last time I looked the Cubs were 18.5 games out of first.
