Wishing everyone all the best for 2014 :)

This won’t be a long one, as I am still pretty much under the weather. Like everyone else we all reflect on the things that happen and the things we’ve been through. 

In 2013, I met some of the best people ever. You all know who you are. And for me the most wonderful Coach/editor, in EJ Runyon. Who has helped me attain one of my best writing achievements, TSK is almost half way there. The process seems to some to be long. But I’m primarily a scriptwriter working really hard on my debut novel. It’s goals are high, because of the TV series already penned and in time I know I will see those goals come to fruition. Through the support of these people, I am 100% sure next year will be awesome. 

One of the hardest thing I did was break my arm. It itself had a lot of setbacks. Mostly financially, but emotionally too. I’m on the mend and looking forward to heading back to work after this long hiatus. What it did teach me once again is that there are some friends out there who really matter. And again others who are by the by. It is life, and we learn by the things throw our way. 

 

I am very thankful for the people who have been there for me. My husband the most 🙂 

 

So, all the best to 2014 and may it bring us all what we wish for.

Hello :)

Well there is light at the end of the flu tunnel. I did make it out on Xmas day for a little while, but it knocked me for six yesterday and I spent it all in bed again. 

 

There is nothing worse than being ill, and wanting to do things. Then when I was up and ready to take on the world. Skype wouldn’t work and that sucked. Don’t have a clue why. 

Anyway, slept a lot again today and am tired, but have been catching up on some things. Mostly cleaning and getting to grips with things. I haven’t even ventured to see my fish in 7 days. And that is not like me at all. I love my koi so much, but when I am unwell I can’t help but not go to see them in the freezing cold. Luckily hubby has looked after them and kept on top of feeding my sturgeon.

Writing, well have only done my homework, requested by EJ, but today I managed to catch a few read throughs of chapters ahead. So, I’m hoping to be back on form this weekend and for the coming week.

The bad news for me, was after getting myself ready emotionally for going back to work on the 6th Jan, I got my wages and a letter saying they’d given me my accrued holidays, and don’t want me back till the 20th Jan. 😦 I am sad about this because I want to really get back into it all. And kicking the new year off back to work would have done me good.

Oh well, more time to get on with some editing. 🙂 Can’t complain at that.

Fingers crossed for the coming year for us all, I know some of my friends have had a really rough one. The last few months for me, have been pretty tough, but the light there, peeking back at me is fab.

2014 will be so much better.

 

Looking forward to a good start. What do you think you might get up too? Fill me in everyone, been away for a bit, and it’s a lot to catch up on. 🙂  

Speak soon.

A quick one

So sorry there hasn’t been much in he posting department. 

With my birthday, and Xmas coming up, had so much to do. Now, full of cold. I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Christmas and all the nest for the new year. I have spent the last two days in bed, but I ate tonight, so that’s good. 🙂 

 

All the best peeps and I hope to be back on form. Got lots to tell you and lots to catch up on.

Sunday and stuff :)

Been a very down and busy week. Felt rough for most of it. Winter and nano blues. But, also had a few things to keep my mind occupied. 

Chat room on mibbit is still really active. If anyone suffering from nano blues want’s to join in. Send me a message and I’ll show you how. It’s been inspirational there, and the people are fab. From all over. 

We also had a couple of new arrivals last weekend, two Amazon parrots, who needed an urgent safe house. It’s nice to have them here and they’re settling in well. One is very friendly to me, the other isn’t, but like hubby. So it’s a good match. 

 

Bobby got his first telling off from our old cat. He bit her, so she touched the top of his head with the back of her paw. Not so good. He’s not been near her like that again though, so job done for now. 

 

Regarding physio and other things. I went on Monday and she knew I wasn’t right from the way I was walking, so we talked. She looked over my elbow etc and seemed to think it was ‘golfers elbow’ similar to Tennis elbow, but with the inside and not outside tendons, etc. 

She told me to rest, take a step back on the exercise told her I’d not been able to do much anyway, and she’ll see me in 3 weeks. Sucks, but I knew something was going on with it. Will be seeing my doc again on monday to go over it all and see what they can suggest. No good if one thing has a knock on effect to others. nice. 

Fish are all cold, settled in well for winter, blanket weed growing, so had to treat yesterday. But will be alright, just need to get them over the worst of the next few months, mild here at the moment. 

 

Well, hope to get on with book one more so now. Edit, edit 🙂 

 

Speak soon. x
