Today's Soundtrack: Mariah Carey "Obsessed"
So what has this writer been up to so close to the start of the New Year?
I've been busy, is what's been going on. If you watch my Facebook or watch my Youtube, you know that I've been busy at work putting up Christmas decorations and the such. It's hard work putting them up since I haven't been feeling very good lately.
Seriously just run down and exhausted. So tired at the moment. All I want to do is curl up and ignore the world as it is. Just so damn tired.
But I have to push through this. I'm actually able to just stop and relax finally. I still have things to do but not as much as I did.
Okay, so let me break down the last 10 days for you guys.
Dec 1: I went with my friend to Wal-Mart. She does her banking there since it's local and it's right there in the store, so we pulled the needed money and broke up what we had to. She had people to pay back, bills to pay and stuff to buy. We spent the next hour picking up things that both her and I needed. I got the last of my mother's presents and bought my friend some things. Which was fun.
Dec 2: Went food shopping with my other friend. Her money comes in on the first, food stamps the 2nd. We hit Sam's Club first and seeing as it's snow bird season (and if you don't know what that is, you don't live in no-snow country), so it was busy and packed. Tweaked me enough to send me into a slight panic attack.
Dec 3: Decorating.
Dec 4: First day of Physical therapy for my shoulder. It wasn't all that fun okay? I was sore.
Dec 5: More decorating.
Dec 6: Food shopping for my household. Funs.
Dec 7: I would have had PT but they didn't have any openings so I went with a friend across the Cali border to do some shopping. Giant hams, nearly three hours on the road, and no tablet to read things on. I was exhausted.
Dec 8: And yet more decorating, cleaning and trying to just SIT for ten seconds. Didn't happen and I took pain killers.
Dec 9: Yep, that's right. PT. They added two more exercises onto what I was already doing. And I was still drugged from the night before. I came home and proceeded to have the worst panic attack that I've ever had in the last two years. I called my friend and someone who has become a touchstone long ago.
She helped me calm down. Along with the cup of Sleepy Time Vanilla. I was sore, shakey and on uneven ground after it. But I got past it.
I also got a hug from a wonderful friend who also shared her chocolate with me. The chocolate was gone in the hour after she left but the hug helped me focus.
Dec 10: FINALLY I got to just stop. I spent most of the day writing actually and plotting.
So what's on today's schedule?
Well, I'm going to PT today, later in the afternoon. But beyond that I'm pretty much just going to relax and enjoy myself. And talk with friends on Forward Motion chat because they give me such lovely ideas.
Now, what am I working on writing wise?
Well, outside of When My Eyes Close (Nano 2015), I'm working on Book 1 of The Honey Drops Series, which I'm tentatively calling Just a Little Taste. I have about 6 books planned out for this series, plus a 7th book to hold any side stories that don't fit into the books themselves. So far, I have one story that's set around book 3 or so.
When My Eyes Close is actually book 1 in a duology. Bellamy, one of my main characters, decided he wanted his own book so I'm going to follow that line and do so. Just need to plan that out.
It'll be fun. I hope.
I pray.
I've also been fuddling around with Follow Me Down, which is a fantasy something that I'm not sure as to what I want to do with it. But it'll be fun. I hope.
So that's what I've been up to. I'm going to go game some more and then crash out.
Merry Christmas.
Happy Yule.
Happy Holidays.
Whatever.
May the world shine bright this holiday season for you.
