Friday Five

This new year has started off at hyper-speed. It’s Friday again! So let’s do our random five things about our week

 

  1. First up, the mudslide devastation here in Southern Ca is pretty grim, but at least we’re having a warm spell to help with the recovery (or rescue if that’s still possible) and assessing the damage.
  2. Maggie is a sun dog. She’s finds any spot of sunshine and claims it as her own This is AFTER she’s convinced me that we must go on the dirt trails the day after heavy rains…which means I’m tramping through mud and rocks like I did when I was a kid (I was a tomboy). I’m regressing…LOLOL! I’m also very careful so I don’t fall and break my ankle :-) Wizard would NEVER let me live that down.
  3. I’ve already mentioned I’m writing a few hours a day. This is huge and I’m excited. I love this book, but for a few months there, I just creatively shut down, plus the pain prevented me from sitting at the computer long enough to think. I don’t know how long this manageable level of pain will last, but I’m embracing it for as long as it does.
  4. Not sure I’ll get the epidural procedure next Thursday or not. For some mysterious reason, our health insurance changed all the member numbers in the new year, and that’s created a ripple wave of headaches. I talked to my pain doctor staff today and they are trying to push it through. But if I have to wait, I’ll see if we can get me in for more trigger point shots to keep me going. I’m thinking positive.
  5. Tomorrow is Special K’s baby shower. I love how the family has come together to work on this. I hope Special K enjoys it! I’ll try to remember to take pictures, but I usually have my phone in my purse and never think to do it until later. I’m really looking forward to being a grandmother!

So that’s my week, not it’s your turn to share your Friday Five. Have a great weekend!

I’m finally able to work a few hours a day! Fingers crossed that this will last!

The sad news is that we’ve finally had much needed rain in Southern Ca, but due to the wildfires in late 2017, there has been a serious mudslide in one of the burn areas that’s killed at least 13 people and injured 25 as I’m writing this blog last night. That number will likely rise.

Today’s Wednesday Worthy candidate is a tribute to the hardworking rescue/first responders out there in the cold and rain trying to pull victims out of the floods and mudslides.

So what do you think, is he worthy?

Weekend Roundup

We had a weekend? Did I blink? It was another busy one. Wizard and I are once again trying to find family room furniture we like, and that will fit out awkward space. So frustrating when we have money set aside to buy the furniture but can’t find what we want!

Yesterday I headed to my son and soon to be daughter-in-law’s house to work on shower crafts for Special K’s baby shower next weekend, and talk about wedding plans for them. Guess who I got to see while there?

It’s baby Jett! Who, obviously, isn’t a baby anymore. He must be about two now, and he has such a sweet, lovable face (and disposition)!

I’m making a little progress on SAVAGED DEVOTION too.

So how was your weekend?

Happy Friday Five!

It’s the first Friday of 2018! Let’s list five things about our new year

1) So far I’ve finished reading one book, MOONLIGHT IN MANHATTAN, by Sarah Morgan, DNFed an audio book and have two other books in progress.

2) On my own book, I’ve revised Chapter 2 in SAVAGED DEVOTION and am trying to carve out serious writing time to keep going.

3) And yesterday we found out there was a problem with our health insurance renewal despite making the equivalent of a house payment to roll it over into the new year. I suspect this will all be fine, but it’s costing us hours on the phone to get it all fixed. Amazing how they can take the money but not provide the product in a safe and timely fashion. I’m not sure about the status now on my scheduled epidural for my neck/nerve pain, but one thing at a time.

4) Maggie is awesome!  And she keeps me active and makes us laugh.

5) This weekend, I’m going to work, then meet with middle son’s fiance to work on a few baby shower projects for my grandson’s shower in one week.

That’s a quick recap of my first week in 2018, now share yours! Have a great weekend!

So are you all ready for a cowboy? I always love cowboys although I have some mixed feelings about this one.

Happy New Year!!!

I’ve missed you all! Can you all believe it’s 2018?? Pretty amazing, yeah? I want to wish you all a year filled with courageous choices and joyous moments!

A quick roundup–we had a great Christmas and New Years, now we’ve left the holidays behind and have jumped headfirst into baby shower planning for our grandson (OMG it’s so much fun!!), a small outpatient medical procedure for my neck, and the wedding of another of our nieces. It’s going to be another busy month.  And I’m making time to write each day for as many days a week as I can manage. I don’t want to talk about my physical stuff, I just want to go back to writing and finally finish The Savaged Illusions Trilogy, then onto Wing Slayer Hunters. Even if the most I can do is an hour a day, I’m doing it!

How were your holidays? And what are your hopes for 2018?
