I was able to work on my cartoons. Woo Hoo! Grandson Number One was hit by a car while riding his motorcycle. He got some serious road burn, but no broken bones, thank goodness. My sister's youngest son and his girlfriend got to Texas okay. They were there to help out my Grandson Number One. He called me when he got home from the hospital with the news. Now it's bedtime for me. I have to get up early tomorrow to go mall walking with my brother.

Getting a lot of things together so that when my daughter gets here with some of her things there will be room for them. I'm looking forward to having her here. I'm hoping that the plans that we have been working on will work out okay for all of us. Things will be tough for a while, but I think we can manage. Worked on my cartoons this week and answered a few questions on webanswers. I even did some yard work today. It is lovely out. It's a little breezy but the temperature is in the 60's.

Didn't get squat done today. I think it was because it was so gloomy out. I just watched Amish Grace on Lifetime Movie Channel and cried through the entire movie. I listened to Heather Pick's CD Circle of Support and cried through it too. Just one of those "wet" days. I must get my behind in gear tomorrow and get a few things done before next Saturday. I'm off to bed now. My bossy boy cat is telling me in no uncertain terms (loudly) that I need to go to bed.

Sort of a productive day today. I didn't get any writing done though. I did get the laundry done and tidied up my desk (which it needed badly). Checked out a couple of websites to see if there were any new places available. Worked on my budget (such an onerous task). Wish there was a little more "budge" in my budget. I will be taking the computer offline for the night in a few minutes.

Had a nice walk at the mall with my brother. It is a cold, windy, morning. We had an inch of snow on the ground and my poor little daffodils were weighted down with snow and slush. I put another chapter of Grace and the Dragon on Helium. That's all I did today. I can't wait to get to bed and catch some z's.

Got some writing done today then had a brainstorm to try a one step write it on the computer novel. We'll see how that goes. It may be a long process since I don't usually do things the short way. I wrote a little on it as well as one that was already in progress.
It's getting closer to the time that my daughter will be here. In a little over a week she'll be here. Tomorrow I'm mall walking with my brother. Hopefully the weather will be nicer that it was today. It rained and but wasn't too bad temperature-wise. My daffodils are up and blooming. A reminder that God and spring are alive and well. Birds are flying everywhere in the neighborhood and filling the air with their songs. I really like having seasons.

Not a great day today. I'm coping with a sinus headache. I answered and asked a question on WebAnswers and I talked to my Aetna nurse (something my medical insurance offers). Not much else going on. The left side of my face (eye and a tooth) are aching. Rubbing them seems to relieve the pressure as does the heat from my hand. I did a saline wash in my nose and I plan on taking a Sudafed at bedtime. That should help. Probably won't get much else done today.

Well sunshine and a conversation with youngest daughter has me bitten with the spring cleaning bug. My office where I basically live when I'm not being a housefrau or mall walking needs a good spring cleaning. I worked on it yesterday and will work on it today. I hope to get rid of old paperwork (1978 - 2004) that I no longer need. That's probably 25% to 50% of the clutter. I did get a few minutes to work on my novel yesterday as well. Shredded stuff from 2004. I plan more of the same today.

Went mall walking with my brother today. We try to do this at least once a week. Worked on my novel. Posted a poem on Helium and rated several posts from other author/poets. That was the sum of my day. I was up before the sun this morning, and got to bed late the night before, so I am just about ready for bed.

Today I played handiman. I worked on my garbage disposal which got jammed when a casserole dish exploded in it. My grandson got most of the shards of glass out of it but it was jammed tight. I found one more piece of glass and worked the blades some to see if there was more glass in there but didn't find any. Then I had to use the allen wrench to truly unjam it. That worked and so does the disposal. That and light housework took up the rest of my day. This entry here is the only writing I've done today. I needed a day or two figure out how I wanted to proceed with the novel I'm working on. It's not quite a writer's block but how much to divulge about a character when that character will have a novel devoted to just them. Oh well.

Wasn't feeling too good yesterday so I didn't get much done. Feel much better today though. I did some writing on a novel. I paid a bill and gathered the trash. The trash got out and now I'm here. Not much more to say except good night.

I got a lot done today. Laundry, shredding, wrote on one of my novels, and checked out publishing houses to see where to query next. Now I'm off to wash dishes.

Grandson has left to go back to school. Daughter is still in MA and will probably be there until the first week in April. It made more sense to move at the same time her roommate moved since they were headed in the same direction more or less. I've gotten some kind of "bug"...I think it's my chronic laryngitis. My throat is scratchy and flemmy, so I'm coughing periodically.
I don't have a fever or any aches and pain, not even tired. Oh well.

Had a nice walk with my brother and grandson yesterday. When we got home housework captured my attention and I spent the rest of the day doing it. Woo hoo! Needless to say I didn't spend any time on my writing. I did review a report that my grandson was working on for school. I got to bed late and slept in this morning. Right now I'm home alone. Daughter is still in MA and grandson went to a friend's party. Taking advantage of this.

Daughter left today to return to MA. to pack up her house so her stuff can be moved back here. She'll return here sometime between March 15 and 18. I didn't do any writing today except this entry. I was busy trying to figure out how I needed to rearrange things here to accommodate the few items that she want to be able to use while the rest of her belongings will go into storage until we can find a bigger place to move to. Tomorrow my grandson and I will go mall walking with my brother.

Today was a pretty laid back day. Grandson, daughter, and I just chilled out. I made a coffeecake and since it was trash day we got the trash together and out mto the curb. My daughter and I took a nap while the grandson played around on his computer. This is the only writing that I got done today.

Had a busy day today. We ran some errands, did some grocery shopping, and put wifi in the house. Now we are all happy that we no longer have to wait to get our turn at the internet. (We won't know how to act.) Needless to say this is the only writing I got done today. Once things get settled around here I hope to be able to get back on my schedule.

My daughter arrived today and my grandson and I walked to our closest Taco Bell to meet her for lunch. All that fresh air and exercise wore me down. We walked home, all three of us. This is probably more taxing walking than walking the Mall. By the time we got home three hours had passed. I ended up taking a nap after we got home. My daughter is currently visiting friends and my grandson is snoring in the living room. The fresh air caught up with him as well. My feet, knees, and right shoulder are reminding me that I am getting older. The nap didn't help with the aches.

I didn't get a chance to write on my blog yesterday. My grandson got here Friday evening and we spent yesterday talking. Today we got some chores done that I couldn't do by myself because I wasn't tall enough, nor secure on a step-stool enough to keep from falling off said step stool while attempting these tasks.

Wrote a little. Baked a little. Visited with my brother a little. Talked to my daughter for awhile. Plus I am waiting for one of my grandsons to spend a week with me for his spring break. Cleared off some clutter on the kitchen table while making lemon squares. Now I need to get the living room vacuumed and clean sheets and blankets out for the air mattress so my grandson can have covers for the night.

I took the morning to get my exercise by mall walking with my brother. We try to do this weekly but due to the weather and other commitments it's been a month since we've done so. It was nice catching up on things, getting our exercise, and just shooting the breeze. We'll see what I get accomplished this afternoon in the writing arena.

Had a very productive day today. Swept and mopped the utility room floor and the kitchen. Wrote on one of my novels. Even got the trash out to the trash can and to the curb. Now I pooped with all that activity. Oh, before I forget, my female cat helped me mop the floors by chasing the mop around. It was quite funny.

Do you ever have days where you just need to face a noxious job that needs to be done? Well my day is here so I doubt if I'll get much writing done today. Haven't done a lick of it yet except this blog.

My noxious job is working on a room in my home that has been closed off due to numerous things. Things like odor, memories, needing to be cleaned, and stuff that was stored in it. So far I've tidied up the area, nutralized the odor, and now need to clean items in this room. Plus I want to decorate it in such a way that it doesn't remind one and all of its prior self. This room needs to be put back into operation.

Didn't get much writing done today, I got busy with other things. Gave some thought to and looked online at the college courses offered that I might want to take. I didn't see anything that stood out and said "pick me" so I'll see if there is something else that would appeal to me.

Wished my nephew a happy birthday, paid my rent, updated my weekly stats (which took most of the morning) and will soon go make some lunch. I will be working on a completed novel to smooth out its rough edges. I'm waiting to hear from a publisher that I sent a query letter to. I'll just keep doing what I'm doing and try not to think too much on the what ifs.
