2 'Izzat 164 B.E. - Sunday, September 9, 2007 about 5:49 PM PDT OK, so my life wouldn't actually fit in a nutshell (is this one word or two). My life wouldn't fit in a bread box and it almost doesn't fit in my house. Since March 12, 2007 I've been on line and home either sporadically or obsessively depending on whether I needed another month's upgrade or not. My upgrade is good until December 15, thanks to angels. My mother is home and complaining all the time about having to sleep in a hospital bed and use either a wheel chair or walker, so I think she's probably getting better. True she's back on the meds for the diarrhea, but it doesn't seem so bad this time and I think this dose of pills will take care of the problem. In the coming weeks I have 30 in depth reviews to do, plus whatever other reviews. I have contests to enter, short stories and a novel to finish. I'm back on line for a while. I still have a house to clean, but I'm getting a handle on the clutter. My brother gave us a $200 gift card to Albertson's, so now I can go get a decent mop without feeling guilty. The sponge mops I have I'll either offer on free cycle or throw them away. Since the handle's are good I'll probably offer them on free cycle. Someone out there must like sponge mops. I have two off site blogs I'm planning on making money with, so I have to get at least 40 post in them before October 10 or 25. That does mean at least two a day for the next few weeks, but since I view myself as determined it shouldn't be a big problem. Of course, since I set a goal to do this writers' block assisted by my inner critic has reared its ugly head. This means some of the post will be responses to prompts. I joined the yahoo prompt group Daily Writing Practice and have the prompts in a folder in my yahoo mail when needed. I'm in a good mood, I see light rather than darkness for a change. I'm two days behind on housework because my brother and his family were in town. Tonight is the night I catch up on the laundry. I caught up on the dishes yesterday. I'm being optimistic for the first time in a long time. |
