Is it bad I'm glad my kids are done with spring break and back at school today? It was amazingly productive, despite the fact that my eyes decided to be wonky for a good part of the day. That's to make up for not getting done over the weekend because we had company. Saturday night, we went out to dinner at a great Thai place that we're all in love ( Read more... )

Ohmigod, Flonase has made such a difference. I felt better yesterday morning, but there was still lingering pain, but today? Nada. Zilch. I feel normal. It's *wonderful*.

Another great thing about today? I recently got the Thug Kitchen cookbook on the recommendation of a friend, and I've tried a couple recipes from it this week. Tonight was a ( Read more... )

Next week this time, I'll be in San Antonio. I leave on Wednesday to attend a conference which ends in an awards banquet where one of my novellas is a finalist in the erotica category. It's a very small, intimate conference, at a great hotel, so I envision three relaxing days, to be honest. I'll go to a couple panels, but I don't really think I'll ( Read more... )

It was a day of running around on adrenaline. I woke up to one of the carbon monoxide/smoke detectors going off because of a low battery. Every minute, a loud beep would go off along with a woman's voice announcing, "Low battery." And I mean loud. We have a big house. We could hear it clearly behind closed doors in the bedroom upstairs farthest ( Read more... )

Most of my day has been not so hot. Craig and I started feeling crappy last night at the gym, and both of us were running fevers by the time we went to bed. It was a really rough night, and I woke up with a 100F temp that didn't go away until this afternoon. Lots of napping, too. The day was gone before I knew it ( Read more... )

We had a great time at the gaming con this weekend. Both kids had a blast, and I sat in on a couple of seminars that might actually help with my writing. It ran all the way through yesterday, though Craig and I snuck out last night for a movie, just the two of us. We went and saw Kingsman, which we both really enjoyed. I loves me some Colin Firth, ( Read more... )

I need to play catch-up because it's been an insane week ( Read more... )

I'm in a foul mood, so I'm trying to focus on positive stuff right now to keep from spiraling into blackness. So here goes ( Read more... )

We've had a ton of family health issues come up on Craig's side the past couple weeks so all good thoughts are appreciated ( Read more... )

I had a Doh! moment last night. See, we own an elliptical, and it's been my go to equipment for working out for the past two months. I'm on it 4-5 nights a week, slowly making it harder with longer times/more resistance to ensure that I'm constantly working and getting a good sweat ( Read more... )
