Hello! Hope this Monday was a good start to an excellent week.
Just popped in to tell you about some upcoming things here on this old blog of mine. First I am working on a brand new short story I hope you will enjoy. It’s not my usual type (if I even have one).
It came to me in a dream…. Yeah I know, do dum do dum do dum do do! Crazy as it sounds it’s true. I woke up with it this morning still bright and shiny in my mind so I knew I was going to have to write it all down.
It has paranormal stuff all through it. Yes, I know I’ve written about ghosts and stuff, but this is completely different for me. You’ll see. I have no idea where it came from either, but hey, I’m going with the flow here. Especially since I haven’t written anything new in a while and it was beginning to worry me. 😦
I also submitted another short story to Etherbooks.com, hopefully I will hear from them soon whether they accepted it or not. It’s actually a two parter. Each about 3000 words or more. I’ll let you know what comes of it soon as I know.
It’s not that I haven’t been busy! If you don’t follow my food blog (and why don’t you??). I had a super guest blogger on there today, Miss Four Eyes was generous enough to write some funny stuff for me on a wonderful guest post. If you haven’t read it, go ahead and do so. You’ll enjoy her. I also have a food article being published on the website of theindiechicks.com! It is coming out this Friday, March 29th! It’s about living with gluten intolerance and how it doesn’t have to be so difficult. So Friday I will be sending everyone over there to read it! I appreciate any and all support!
There is another reason I haven’t been writing much. I’m on some new medication for my diabetes, which seems to have temporarily scrambled my mind. I can’t concentrate for any length of time and it is driving me crazy! Or crazier. Ha! My doctor assures me it’s temporary and that once my body adjusts to the new insulin I will be fine. Or better. Or not as crazy. I might even be able to sleep. Ah sleep, how I have missed thee. Anyway, time will tell.
I’m also trying to find another house to move to. So within the next couple of months I will be in full force moving mode! I am downsizing the house. Going smaller, cozier and cheaper. Ha! Cheaper being the key word. Selling this one too. Oh man, shoot me now! I AM crazy!
So bear with me my friends and maybe I will survive this crazy life yet.
Well that’s all I can think of today. Busy Busy Busy. 🙂
Moving, I love to hear when people downsize. How much smaller are you looking to go? Can’t wait to read your new story. Good luck with your new medication. I have one prescription I have to take once daily, when I started for the first week all I did was sleep. Seriously 23 out of 24 hours. Luckily after that I was fine.

Hi Lois! Well right now I’m in a two story house. Going to one floor. Also if I do things right I will be getting out from under a huge mortgage. Also the taxes here keeps raising every year, it just got to be too much. So going a bit smaller. Not as small as you though. 🙂
My past meds were not doing their job and on one I developed an allergy so it wasn’t working at all. But this new insulin makes it hard to concentrate or sleep. It’s getting a bit better though, so hopefully it will straighten out.

Good luck, my one neighbor has had trouble with his insulin. He used to take one made in Germany which worked fine, but now it’s not available. I know what a problem that can be.
I hope you find the house you have pictured in your mind.

Changing medication can take some getting used to, that’s true. Hope you are feeling better by now.

Hey I’m supposed to be stalking you, not you me! hahahaha! I am a bad stalker, but I will get to it again soon. Yeah, it took some getting used to the new meds, but it seems to be doing okay now.
