It's been a minute... again...

I'm back to touch base with everyone - or at least the couple of you who read this. I'm sorry I've been MIA again, I've found myself struggling to manage my own expectations, anxieties, stresses... you know, life. There have been days in the recent past where air was overwhelming. If you find yourself in such a situation, please know you aren't alone, it won't last forever, and you're stronger than you think.

On that cheerful note, on to some other tids and bits. One of my short stories was published in the South Sound Review. It's little and not very prestigious but cool nevertheless. I've done a wee tiny teeny bit of writing - nothing consistent but more than nothing. I'm contemplating sharing a bit of backstory to my stories, a how it came to be sort of thing. Please let me know if this is something you'd like to read.

Other than that, it's school, playing taxi, and work for me. Good times. LOL

I am so boring

I've been sitting here trying to figure out what sort of #weeklyupdate I can share this week but I have done almost nothing worth updating anyone on. LOL I've been recovering from the crazy of the last quarter of school. My youngest had band concerts back to back on opposite sides of town. Which, along with my own load, it was a lot. LOL Therefore, I was mostly just being a slug and doing as little as possible.

My youngest turned 19 a couple days ago - I'm not super okay with this. Why do they have to grow up? I mean really! It's so rude that my children insist on being adults when they were such cute kiddos! The linear passage of time is for the birds and that's the truth. LOL

On the other hand, I'm pretty darn proud of my three adult kids. They're pretty awesome and amazing.

I did do a smidgen of writing over the last week - fantasy work not romance, but I'll take any sort of writing at this point. Some writing is better than no writing - right?? I hope all of the three people who read my blogs have a great week!

What a rush!

I know I've been MIA for a couple weeks. For the few of you who actually read this, I'm sorry. This #weeklyupdate is late because I had to finish out the quarter and therefore between my schedule and my son's I was one busy mama!. But it is over, I survived the quarter and the rush of end of term concerts- oy that last one, let me tell you. At any rate, I have roughly two weeks before the coo coo for cocoa puffs starts up again - I shall rest. LOL

I have had some rumblings of thoughts, ideas, and potential words rattling around in my brain - I would love to see them turn into actual progress on any of my works in progress. They've been dodgy and inconsistent for so long I'm actually starting to worry that I've lost them. It's as though by purging my anger, I've kicked my muses to the curb. It's kinda lonely, to be honest. I miss the chatter.

So I will occupy myself with beads and quilts, movies and music and hope that something stirs my muses. Sorry for such a meh update but I really don't have a ton to report at the mo. I'm a bit of a boring soul right now. Such is life, right? LOL
