My Own Little World

It's a rainy writing day. Hubster is playing Bad Company on the Xbox while I write so to drown out the sounds of gunfire and explosions behind me, I have put in my earbuds and am listening to music while I write.
I've spent the last few days trying to edit a couple of stories that have been sitting on my desk in hard copy for awhile. Today, I'm taking it slow since the words don't seem to be making sense. I've had this problem before and learned that all I need to do is keep going but avoid cutting things that need to stay. I also have my supply of chocolate handy just in case.
I think I've said before that I wasn't going to start anything new for awhile. Which is proving to be easier than I thought it would be since I've had absolutely no new ideas at all. *laughs*
On the personal front, I'm debating getting my hair cut. I've been letting it grow for quite a few years now with only the occasional trim. It's now about the middle of my back. It's hard to deal with. I totally understand why Stevie Nicks says "Perms are easy, this is hard." in reference to long, straight hair.
School is almost in full swing and the child seems to be adjusting well to high school. It's only been a week and a half and I already have to spend a good chunk of change for something he needs. Next week, they start the full days (his school lets out an hour early from the first day of school until Labor Day because of the possibility of extreme heat) and I'm going to love having a whole hour and a half to myself. LOL
I guess it isn't a rainy day after all since I see sunshine through my south window. So much for that. LOL
I've wasted enough time and need to get back to work.

Enjoy your extended weekend!
