Song of the
day: “What do you mean” by Justin Bieber, naturally. I know, embarrassing,
right? Still a cute song.
This will
just be a quicky post, more to let y’all know that, yes, I’m still alive. I’ve
got good news, but I don’t want to jinx it with a massive post, so you’re going
to have to be a little patient for my next blog to discover what it is…I hope.
Could all turn out to be a bust, so I might end up depressed and never post
again. Hah. Just kidding, of course I’ll post again. Y’all know better than
anyone that I always come back, no matter how bad things are. I mean seriously,
after all the shaite you guys lived through with me here, we all know that only
death would stop me…maybe. *wink*
But anyway,
other than the potential of good news in the near future, things are going
steadily. Big brother is working full time now, which is heavy on him, poor
thing. In-between writing, editing, keeping the house tidy, cooking meals, and
doing the groceries, I am applying for work. Not having much luck so far, but
luckily I can keep myself busy.
Have been
picking up my fitness again. Don’t like the lack of activity, so doing more
fitness is definitely a must. Also, that stupid leg of mine where I had my
operation is bugging me again. The one vein they missed is playing up, so I
might need to get back to the doctor for that in the near future. Darn. I hate
that.
Had a nice
visit with our former colleague last week, and with his wife and newborn son.
Cute little fella, and only six weeks old.
Got to hold the kid, too, which was a little scary, considering how
small he was. Also got to play with their labradoodle a bit and that was cool
too. Fun dog.
Spent the
second day of Christmas with family down south. The trip took 2.5 hours, but it
was very pretty down there. Flowing green hills (despite winter) sunshine for
the day, and a wonderful house belonging to our aunt…well, sort of our aunt,
more by law, I think you’d call it. Gorgeous massive kitchen that made me so
jealous. Seriously, I want a kitchen like that, some day. Littlest brother was
there, stepmom, our father, stepmom’s
mother, sister and brother, so we had a nice full table. Was a very nice
afternoon, with five or six courses spread out over five hours. By the time we
got home, a nother 2.5 hours trip, we were starving again.
Did a
full-blown cleaning session of the house the other day, which took a couple of
hours, but the result was splendid. Much, much better. It wasn’t as if I hadn’t
been vacuuming, dusting and cleaning horizontal surfaces, it is just that if
you go at it with the full focus that I used to apply at work, you really
notice the difference. Hah
Been working
on the books a lot. Edits, some writing, and synopsis, and whatnot, prepping
several stories at the moment. Want to have some stuff ready before spring to
start sending out again.
But that’s
it for today, just a quicky update, I fear. Be patient with me please.
