Still Here
Yes, I know. It’s been almost a month. I’ve been busy lazy when it comes to blogging, mostly because I’m not entirely sure what to say on here. Right now I should be going to bed, since I have a 12+ hour work day tomorrow. I work at the pharmacy from 8-4, and then at Seven Oaks from 3:30-9. Yes, they do overlap. I am aware. It will work, though. I am SUPER EXCITED for snowboarding this season! I’m excited that I’ll get more than THREE DAYS in like I did last year. That was kinda pathetic, really. But this year will be better.
My Christmas tree is up, my tinsel is hanging from the “wall” over the “bar” from my kitchen into my living room. Wow. Did that make sense at all? Just imagine cool red and silver tinsel hanging most beautifully. And I decorated stockings tonight. One for Otis, one for Alita, and one for me. They are quite lovely, if I do say so myself.
November ended, and my novel ended. I’ve started another short story. I shouldn’t say “another” being that it’s actually the first short story I’ve ever written. Maybe I’ll post parts of it on here if you’d like. I’m not going to be limiting myself to writing in November. I mean, I write other times, too, but now I think I’m actually going to buckle down and get on it. Writing Critiquing. Editing. All of that fun stuff.
And I suppose I should mention the small snow flurries we had in the last couple of days. Also known as the #IowaDeathStorm09 on Twitter. It was quite the fun storm! I was mostly at home for all of it, since I didn’t work Wednesday or today. Wednesday I didn’t leave my apartment. Today I left only to dig out my car (that took a while) and practice at church. Then I made a quick run to WalMart and Hy-Vee. I was craving sparkling apple juice. I usually reward myself with that on December 1 after NaNoWriMo is over, but I didn’t get around to it on the 1st. So today worked.
I saw my doctor on Tuesday morning. He increased one of my drugs and put me on yet another one. This one is apparently supposed to help regulate how much I sleep or something, sinceI told him I’m sleeping too much and he gave this to me. But I think it’s having the opposite effect. Since I woke up at 10 something today, took a two hour nap from 5-7 tonight, and am now going to bed at 11. Hmm.
I ate entirely too much junk food today, too. Christmas treats are too tempting. I should probably do a little better with that before Cathy comes pounding on my door with her Monkey study story or SS story. Sorry. Obscure reference that probably three people will understand, if they even read this blog!
I’m going to head to sleep now. Cuddling up under my four blankets sounds quite lovely to me right now. See ya later!
