Broken Computer, Lyme Disease, and other excuses

Yes that's exactly what they are: excuses.

My computer is finally back up and running after a child managed to break my monitor.

I'm on the mend from Lyme disease, although these headaches are murder. I don't wish them on anyone. The pain from a migraine isn't as bad as a Lyme disease headache, and the fact that I have had NO relief from it since it started over a week ago isn't helping my opinion on them.

It seems like every time I get on here, I am coming up with some excuse as to why Saving Avalon is not out yet. The book is finished. It's edited. It's mostly formatted. Why am I not releasing it yet?

I don't have an answer for that. This will be the first book published since I lost my grandma, but I don't think that's it. It's not the fact that I'm worried about what a turn to fantasy would do to my book sales either. I'm not entirely sure why I am stalling.

I have so many things going on right now. I'm trying to be supportive of my son playing softball, but I just can't get into the game. It's so boring! How did I manage to play it for years when I was a child?

I'm starting to get back into crafting since I noticed that my craft page had well over 100 new likes on facebook since the last time I had posted anything. It's too hot to work on blankets, so I have been spending time working on American Girl doll clothes.

This headache makes it difficult to concentrate on anything. I feel like I'm constantly in a daze.

Music = Life!

Ok anyone who knows me personally knows how important music is to me. About six years ago, I guess you could say I had a crisis of faith. My faith was music. I had lost a really close friend of mine to suicide, and since he was the drummer of my favorite local band, I had no desire to listen to music anymore. In the car, my stereo was off. If my boyfriend at the time was playing music at home, I would put on noise canceling headphones just to drown out the sound. I didn't want to hear anything that would remind me of my friend. Of course, being a drummer in a popular rock band, his friends and family put together a benefit. Several amazing local bands played that day. I couldn't not go. During the first three bands, I sat outside. I couldn't bring myself to jump back into the world of live music. The bassist of one of the bands stepped outside for a cigarette between sets. We started talking. Stu will never know how much he helped me that day. We talked about absolu...

Facebook Rant

Okay the only thing worse than experiencing a death in the family is reading about it on facebook. My grandma passed away at 7 this morning. About 9:30, I read a post on facebook from my cousin. No one thought to call me. No, let's let everyone find out about it on facebook. Sounds like a great idea. Or not. Seriously, it's freaking bullshit. I'm pissed! This is the THIRD family member that I had to find out about the death ON FACEBOOK! Losing my grandma is bad enough. Finding out about it by reading words on a page that have already been read by hundreds of people BEFORE FAMILY WAS EVEN NOTIFIED is not the way to find out about it. I saw comments on numerous facebook pages saying "sorry for your loss" or along those lines before I finally got a hold of a cousin. This happened at 7! I found out at 9:30. It's almost 11 now and my own mother STILL hasn't said a word other than commenting on a picture asking if my kids were okay. Um. NO ONE IS OKAY. T...

Parents Live in Fear...

For the past week, children in my hometown and surrounding areas have been forced to spend their school days in a soft lockdown. While the younger children don't really realize they are even in lockdown other than missing out on recess, the older children know exactly what is going on. For a week, since the gun store in Janesville, Wisconsin was robbed, these children have been robbed of their freedom. Taking recess away from these children when it is finally warm enough to go outside and play is a nightmare for them! I, like many other parents in my area, kept my children home from school a couple of those locked down days. The first day that I kept them home, I actually had a child throw a complete fit because she couldn't get a stress ball if she missed school that day. Well, is that stress ball more important than your life? I think not dear child. The suspect has finally been found. Parents can breathe a little easier knowing there is one less madman on the streets mak...
