Feeling better
18 Jul 2011 04:17 pmI'm feeling a little more in sorts today. It helps to have several stresses alleviated.
I've been internally worrying about doctors for the kids and infected ear piercings and dealing with the social security administration.
( kids stuff... move on if it doesn't interest you )
So all that is settled and I feel better. It also helped that I was able to write a little last night. The story I posted was mostly written last week but I did finish and edit it a lot (had to cut out almost 200 words to fit the word limit of the challenge which was actually a really big CHALLENGE for me, lol... I hate word limits). It felt good to write anything. Still haven't decided if I want to drop out of my challenges yet. I'm hoping this is a crack in the block and I can at least push out my sg1friendathon which is due in 2 weeks according to the email I got this morning. Especially since I was the first to sign up.
( other stuff about my life that isn't that interesting )
Anyway, I feel better now. I'm also reading again hoping that will unblock my creative side. It seems to be helping. My dreams have already become more vivid and interesting (been reading Rachel500's Aftershocks series... good stuff). Oh and I broke down and bought a new mouse which is making me extremely happy. Before I had an old Bamboo Fun tablet (the older one before the touch ones came out) but it's mouse broke so I had to start using the mouse from an even older Wacom tablet I had before. Well the last few weeks it's been acting up--double clicking when you want to drag something or letting go when you are holding down to highlight stuff. It was just crazy. Now I have $50 mouse (YIKES!) and it works great. I might get a new tablet but not plug it in unless I want to use it for art stuff. Next up is a new keyboard because mine is burning through batteries like crazy. When I first got it things were fine. I changed the batteries like every 6 months or something. Now I have to do it at least once a month which is nuts. But I need one of those ergonomic keyboards or I can't type and they are pricey.
So, yeah, I'm rambling. I should be cleaning the kitchen and doing laundry. Or maybe walking to the store to get some chicken to grill up for dinner because all we have is high fat stuff in the house (we go through chicken really fast and our freezer only holds so much).
