Beware the Ides of March

The last week definitely felt bumpy like the lead up to a full blown chaos ball explosion. My niece got the unhappy news that her cancer had returned, :( I had to unfriend a person I'd been friends with for over a decade, and I've hit a major wall mentally and emotionally. The Ides of March are going to be preceeded by a full lunar eclipse while Mercury and Venus are in retrograde... the chaos ball is really making things rock.

Schoolwork is winding down so therefore kicking my ass. Finals are happening over the next two weeks. Stress is on my right shoulder and exhaustion is on my left. We are a bit weighed down.

However! However, the other night at work, my writer brain kicked in! :O Cue the need for smelling salts! LOL I haven't heard from the writer brain in so long. It felt so goood! We'll see if writer brain breaks through the school fog and exhaustion again. *fingers crossed.

Well, that's about all for this #weeklyupdate because I'm so freaking tired and dopey that words are hard. LOL

Have a good week, my friends.

Perhaps I may be learning. Hmmmmm...

So, I'm mostly through the second quarter of the six I'll be taking to get my degree and I'm taking my second business course - this time it's marketing. Thank the stars I have a professor who is patient with my neurosis and is incredibly smart about all this business stuff and how to connect the dots for me. I think I might be figuring this stuff out. I'm not going to get too excited as yet but I am feeling a tad bit more hopeful. We'll see if I can put the things to the test and make things work better. Keep your fingers crossed. LOL

So this #weeklyupdate is now here for your reading pleasure. LOL I have been doing a lot of shifting, changing, and adapting of things, but I'm not going to tell you all the things here - I'm going to be a stinker and tell you to check out my newsletter and my website.

This last week was a lot of working, a lot of homework, and a whole planetary alignment with a side of solar flares. Now planets are going retrograde (I'm looking at you, Venus) and leaving retrograde and making my body wilt with exhaustion. Good times, right? But I'm keeping my eyes on the prize of finals week and a week or two off. LOL

Writing is still lost in the ether and the muses are giving the finger from their beach in Bora Bora (or I think that's where they may be - question mark LOL). Let's hope for their vacation to end soon, I really want to write again.

A day late and a dollar short

Yeah, I meant to post this yesterday but I was a bit of a lazy schmo. :/ Today has been an exercise in "crap, I forgot" and then me scrambling to do all the things. Last week was weird and a tad chaotic - shocking, right? LOL Homework was a lot of writing last week. This week will be a lot of adapting - the joys of being a non-trad student. I did submit a short story for the school's online magazine - I'll let you know if that sees any traction. I'm feeling a bit surly and disgruntled at the moment so all the things I wanted to put in this #weeklyupdate have flittered right out my fluff for brains. And that disgruntled surliness is largely because of one of my professors. I cannot wait to be out of her class. *head desk

And on that cheerful note, I think I'm going to go scrounge up some dinner then do some more homework. Not gonna lie - I'll be glad when this quarter is over. :/
