back with is - almost

I've been thinking all week that I need to post something and now that I'm here I've got no clue what to say. Oh well. Whatever.

In my defense, my brain is muddled with a cold right now. It's strange being sick. When I was part of the working retail working field (now two and half years ago) I got sick probably about once a month. It comes with the territory, eh? It's something you just have to get used to, and I did. But ever since I took my 'normal' working field sabbatical I don't think I've been sick more than two or three times.

I keep telling myself it's just a cold, big deal, but I still feel like it's kicking my butt. I'm not even sure where I picked this cold up from. Blah!

I wonder if I got sick because school starts tomorrow. Maybe if I get it out of my system now I won't be bothered again till summer. It's a nice thought anyway.

So, school starts tomorrow. It'll be different to have a schedule in my life again. I'm really looking forward to it. There actually been a number of changes lately. Jordan moved out and thus I've moved into the master bedroom with my sister. I miss my cats, but financially it'll be better to stay here till the fall semester. I'm having to play catch up with a couple things that bit heavily into my loan money. But if I need to move out I can. And having that option does wonders for my sanity.

And as usual, I'm going to attempt to finish the rough draft of my book. I pinned the outline up on the wall to act as a constant reminder. Looking at it, it'll be a small novel, meaning only about 60 or 70k words. But now that I’ve actually got the plot line all laid out I know it's a good well balanced story and would suffer if I tried to drag it out. Mind you, until I actually start writing I won't know exactly how long it'll be.

I guess that's it from me. I wish I had finished a lot more last year than I did. Part of my wishes I could just delete it from existence, but I'm sure that would have a lot more negative repercussions if I did. Rather, I'm determined to make this year work for me. No more waiting.

life updates, the book
