She smiled and ruffled his hair. "It's good magic. Promise."
"No. It's waiting magic. It'll be good if someone good uses it."

Austin and Randi, Blood CharmsYes, I'm back, finally. My last weekly goal post was put up in AUGUST, for crying out loud. Since then, it's been crazy. There's still some crazy in the future, but the computer issue is ( Read more... )

Didn't post last night because I was working on round 2 of Charms ch24 v3. It's going to need another round after this. The chapter is missing something and I'm still shuffling phrases around, so it won't be ready to post to DII when I'm done with this round (which I almost am ( Read more... )

... and all that have been killed before you."
~ Randi Kayde, Blood CharmsIt has been a REALLY bad week. Very little words because I just couldn't think. Between the iron issue and the stress, I could barely function. I slept a lot. The heat has also been on high down here, along with humidity and continuing storms, though the storm pressure hasn't ( Read more... )

Yesterday was tough. My iron issues are really affecting me badly, and I slept much of the day. Later in the day, I was queasy. A little soda and dry cereal helped, but my middle daughter isn't feeling well either, so we might be coming down with something. The good news is that my iron pills are on the way and should be here in a few days. I'll ( Read more... )

When doing my dishes last night, I had an idea on how to rework my Charms query, so when I came back on the laptop, that's what I worked on last night. Plus I posted about needing readers (flocked post) for the novel when I'm done with this round. And I did a little work on chapter 23. Not a lot, but a little ( Read more... )

"No." He sounded surprised. "Shouldn't you have?"
~ Detective Wilton and Randi, Blood CharmsThus suck just will not stop. Right now, forget surviving the next 5 months, I just need to survive the next few weeks. Chef's job is cutting his hours (and the discussion with the lead manager did not go well; they want him to have a new chef's coat, but he ( Read more... )

It's been a bad couple of days. Between the stress and the weather and my twisted schedule and my kids not caring if I just went to bed, I'm not getting a lot of sleep, and I've been feeling headachy and downright sick. I'm barely getting writing done, forget much else. I'm curling up in a tiny ball when I'm not asleep (well, as tiny as I can) and ( Read more... )

... and we both know how well that went."

He grimaced.

"This time will be different, don't worry. I'm already more prepared than I was then."

~ Randi & Father Alex, Blood CharmsIt's not been a good week. SSI is still refusing to call me back, and now I'm really worried they're going to tell me none of the paperwork made it there. As much as I ( Read more... )

No, not yesterday. Thing is, we're about out of ink, so I need to hold off any further work on Chef's textbook (unless he needs a later chapter early int he class) until I refill it. This means I get to set aside the textbook for a day or two at least, and I can go back to the writing that the time on the textbook ate up ( Read more... )

A little being the operative words. Still no words down, but got most the rest of my to do list done. SSI needs to call me back (yea, that will happen; I'll try again in a day or two and leave a message...again), and the woman I need to speak to at my youngest's school is on vacation until the 25th. Since school starts August 8th, and I've already ( Read more... )
