This is my work in progress list… and how I keep track of my word count.
I know I wrote… but I can’t actually tell you how much I got done. This week was chaos. my birthday was fun and full of shenanigans. (no I will not be exposing them to the world) Those who need to know will … lol
I realized something though. I have forgotten the word for the year. I was supposed to be giving myself GRACE. What that means is though I have goals for the day I need to look at any writing and say I did good… I wrote something. no matter what.
I know I missed the post yesterday. i was mostly imitating a corpse. Saturday night I was feeling pretty exhausted and I checked my blood sugar. it was 595 before I ate. so I ate and took my night meds then went to bed.
Yesterday my youngest son forced me to get up to eat and take my shot and meds. my blood sugar was 210. but I was still so tired.
i woke up around 630 am this morning. my sugar was 200. and I am feeling better. I believe that the high blood sugar was the reason why I crashed. so I apologize for the missing post yesterday but I was just too sick to deal with it.

I know I wrote… but I can’t actually tell you how much I got done. This week was chaos and sickness. thankfully my cough is slowing down. I was able to spend time with Joe on his birthday. and yesterday we had curry to celebrate the shared birthday month. First time trying goat curry. I enjoyed it thoroughly. (Nawab fine dining in Kanawha city, Wv. pricey but so worth it)
I will be hopefully able to get some writing in this week but since Friday is my birthday…I don’t guarantee that. I may be spending the day playing video games or reading my new books.
okay I have always been a voracious reader…and I am also easily distracted. I try to set up a goal for book reading of at least half an hour a day – which can be a good amount of time considering that I am quite a fast reader. the problem is that no one else will ever understand the half hour is my mind focused on the book.
that being said … I realized something earlier. in any given day I will read a dozen news articles and perhaps half as many stories that are sent to me for publication or put up on A03…(no I will not ever reveal my tags) so I spend still quite a bit of time reading even if I don’t go through books as often as I used to.
It’s fairly frustrating as I used to go to the library and get 20 books for 2 weeks and easily return them on time. I have always loved reading. And now I am finding myself changing what I am reading to shorter pieces. Not by choice but by the way people around me are. I am no longer left alone with my books for hours on end.
oh. and my son bought me a new book for my upcoming birthday. So now I have to find time to enjoy it. It looks like it will be a wonderful read.
