Another Day, Another Issue (whatever)

I can't stand it my life makes some soap operas jealous- I am sure everyone has said or thought this at least once in their lives. It has been decided that I am moving again this will be the fourth time in fourteen months, I am so tired of it. It seems like when I finally get everything somewhat settled I go again. Packing and unpacking, changing the address on my health card and etc. Grrr, it is almost enough to drive anyone insane! But this time it will be worth it the beginning of my life as I will know it! Ok, so perhaps that is a little too dramatic but seriously I start physio in a hospital soon and hopefully not long after that I can move on with my life. Like to date for example and so forth. But with a move looming ahead of me it looks like I won't be getting as much writing as I would like to get done- don't you just hate it when life interferes. Anyway that is my short and somewhat boring entry for now.

I am back with my writing progress

Ok, first thing I got to say is you can get a lot of work done without the internet - almost makes me re-think the whole wireless thing. Anyway I have done some work on all projects except for The Past and the Present - I was just not in the mood for it this week I suppose. I am a little surprised that Come to Me is going so well I think that if I keep this pace on it will be finished way before it's due date. If you haven't noticed I have two new projects on the go - After the Rain came to me I think on Tuesday and I already have two stories after it so I have another series coming. The Past and the Present is the first of five planned stories I think I will add a progress bar for book two in the series, Hidden Secrets - I know not as creative as some of my other titles but I love the titles for book three and five - the title for book is still undecided I have three ideas for it though.

Forbidden Pleasures, now what can I say about that. The idea came to me on Monday just when my wire or cord was beginning to get annoying I was checking out the Avon fan lit site. If you haven't been there I highly reccommend it - anyway it is basically a writing robin that is just starting where everyone writes a chapter and they are voted on to see which one wins to be part of the story. I was deciding if I wanted to give it a try and went to my word to work on an idea and instead of a traditional regency story idea I came up with something a little different. It is still a historical and in the regency period but a little spicier and I like it lol. Don't get me wrong I am going to give it a go at the story for Avon fan lit but I will wait to see how they decide to start it lol.

Anyway I might post on the weekend but then again I might not I have to go through my email still (3000 messages) hopefully half of them will be junk but then again last time most of it wasn't lol.

No internet until friday

Yup the title says it all. My internet connection is working fine but the cord is broken and won't stay in the back of my laptop A.J. Yes my laptop has a name A.J stands for Augustus Julian did I mention that I am an eccentric and go to the beat of my own drum lol - well now you know, almost makes you wonder what I am going to name my desktop when I get it in the next three months *hopefully*. For an added bonus I am joining RWA in about a month I still have a few more questions but it looks good too me it is an early christmas present from two friends. I am calling the Toronto Romance writers next week to get all my questions answered. I want to know what exactly I do and so forth. But I also want to join a few on-line divisions like the one for historical romance and passionate ink. That is it for today it is a pain to hold this cord in the back of the laptop and type grrr. I will update my word count bars on Saturday and I want to say how sorry I am that I missed the chat on Friday (I don't think anyone missed me anyway but I hate saying one thing and end up not doing it). My net was down for an hour and then I ended up being dragged out for ice cream that was only supposed to take ten minutes and ended up being an hour.

Friday is here TGIF!!!

Wow it is once again friday, the week just seemed like it was never going to end. Hmm, now what am I going to do today do some writing (of course), take a shower and a nap (yup I said it a nap - sad but true.) Going out for dinner with my mom and grandma and then get ready for the Cobblestone chat. Just in case no one knows what I am talking about every friday night at around 7 central the e-publisher has a chat, it is always tons of fun and more than likely has a contest or two. To get to the chat just go to http://www.cobblestone-press.com/index.htm then after checking out the new releases look just above the welcome to Cobblestone press where it says home and etc. at the end there will be news and chat and from there it is so easy to get to the chat.

Anyway I am for that dread but most welcome nap, have fun.

A little good news and surprise! Some bad

I didn't post yesterday because I was a little in shock (to say the least) my brain still seems to be in a bit of a fog but here goes. I saw my surgeon yesterday morning, he took x-rays of the hip replacement and was thrilled that it was doing so good and was all smiles. I asked him if it was time for a Q and A session and he just nodded so I jumped in. First I asked why my good hip would lock if I did pretty much anything (from going to the grocery store to sitting at the dinner table for or hour or so) his answer came out of no where. He just glanced up from what he was writing and looked at the x-ray that had both hips and said it is the arthris (sp?). My mouth literally did drop open I thought that after I healed from the hip replacement I was free and clear for at least a decade. I guess to try and make me feel better he said that it wasn't advanced enough for him to worry about yet and we would talk about it more when I see him next in February. Which means we will probably be talking about opinions then about what is going to happen to it. The frightening thing is that my knee on my left side (the side with the hip replacement) also locks up or stiffens making it difficult to move never mind do my threapy excerises correctly. He never x-rayed the knee because well I didn't say anything until I was leaving so I guess it is something else we have to discuss next time. An example of how much my good hip locks up is that when I tried to get off the table after the x-rays I had a hard time to say the least because it locked again. I guess the two hour drive to the hospital did it, but I never expected to hear this. I never even knew anything was wrong with it my former surgeon never even mentioned it to me.

So when I got home I had a good cry before I took a nap. At least the right hip (the one acting up now) wasn't fused so maybe I might have more options. I didn't sleep so good last night ( I suppose no one could blame me) I had this nightmare that I couldn't leave the airport when I took a trip to England because I kept setting the metal detectors off like mad. The thought of having two fake hips at the age of 30 (four more years to then) and possibly a fake knee is more than just a little bit frightening.

Well there was some good news in the beginning, too bad the rest had to be added.

Good enough for me

I must admit that I am quite satisfied with how my blog has turned out. I admit that when it comes to computers I don't know that much - it took me a day and a half to figure what to do, sad but true. Like I promised (did I?) I have added a section where you can see how my current works in progress are coming along. I find that almost frightening now because I can't say well I have two more chapters because everyone will now if that is true or not. Anyhow I see my surgeon on Wednesday (I am not looking forward to this at all) - hmm I wonder what he will think of my new shoes or on second thought it is probably better not to know. Besides that my life is quiet and oh, so dull. Have fun everyone.
