I'm Back & Feel Good Friday!

I'm back, but I don't know for how long yet. 

Social media is absolutely draining. Not just that but the news...and well everything. 

I took off a solid week + from social media/news and I felt ... better. Less pinched, less worried, less angry and more. Now I'm allowing myself to check occasionally but not to doom scroll. 

Anyway. We'll see how long it takes for me to chuck it all again. Ha! 

Here's a list: 

1. Making it to Friday. It was a brutal, brutal week at the day job. Next week is shaping up to be the same, but I'm not thinking about that yet. Brutal doesn't necessarily mean bad though. More like constant, busy, chaotic, challenging. Which is fine. I prefer the chaos to boredom so there's that. 

2. Going back to our meal delivery service. It's really nice to not have to run to the store constantly, plan meals, hope ingredients last and all that jazz. Our meals were excellent and we're enjoying falling back into our previous routine of preparing them together and having the kitchen almost entirely clean before we eat. 

3. Getting words on the page and figuring out some things for the story I'm working on. 

4. Also working on getting Into the Fire up on Amazon. I don't have a timeframe yet but it should be within the next few weeks. I don't know what's going to be next. 

5. Making plans. Some are long term. Some are shorter. But it feels good to feel like I've got a handle on some things and action behind them. 

6. Prepping for our Memorial Day weekend in the Wilds. Figuring out the grandkid stuff is currently underway. We'll get the camper un-winterized and ready this weekend. I'm looking forward to it. 

7. Happy the Old Gal is going to make it to her favorite place. She loves going to camp. I was worried we wouldn't be able to get her there but she's doing okay enough that giving her the joy of being there far outweighs the accommodations we have to make to keep her comfortable. 

And that's all I have for now. 

Behave! 

Taking a Break...

Yep, I have reached the saturation point once more. 

I'm going to be taking a hiatus from social media for an undetermined amount of time. At least a few weeks. Which means I'll let you know when the next book is available and I'll likely be back at that time. 

I will leave you with this...

In The Hobbit when Galadriel asks Gandalf "Why the halfling?"

Gandalf says: "Because small everyday deeds of ordinary folk keep darkness at bay, rather than just great power"

And I think that's something pretty powerful right now. 

Behave!

Weekend Wrap Up!

Well, we made it through the weekend and into another Monday. 

What the heck though? Why only two days off after working five? Who decided that and why don't we get a re-vote? I love cramming everything I didn't have time to do in the week into the precious forty-eight hours I'm supposed to have for rest and relaxation. When are we supposed to have fun? 

I think I need to retire. If only I could. 

Anyways. We did the grandkid things all weekend. Soccer was intense and so very cold. And insanity thanks to the other team changing the field and not telling anyone, which meant the entire team had to make a mad dash and drive another ten minutes. The ref sucked and the other team went out of their way to stomp on, push around, and attempt to knock my grandson down a peg. Too bad it didn't work. He still scored three of the four goals his team had and we won the game. But that one was rough.

Almost ready to put Prophecy up. I really have no idea what I'm doing and am relying heavily on my seasoned friends. I will figure it out and be a pro at it soon though. 

I need sleep. The last time I looked at the clock last night it was 2:46am. I just could not sleep. I got up and roamed the house at one point, but that was counterproductive because it was cold. I don't know... I just hope tonight is better.  And that explains why I seem a little cranky. Ha! 

The sun is out though. That's something. The weather this weekend sucked. 

That's all I have. 

Behave! 

Cover Reveal!!

Here's the new cover for Prophecy! I hope to have this up and available by the end of this week!

Twelve years after a devastating flu that eliminated much of the world’s population, the human race is trying to survive while living a much simpler life. Gabriella is a midwife and a demon hunter. She helps bring new life into the world, while doing her best to prevent evil from growing. Only there seems to be much more evil lately, and far less new life. Something big is happening and she may be the only one who can stop it. 
 
Jack is an angel in a human vessel sent to protect and assist Gabby in solving the puzzle of good and evil she faces. It should be a simple assignment, but he doesn’t count on the emotions he now must deal with, or the attraction he feels. He faces exile if he oversteps his moral boundaries, but when he realizes his love for Gabby, he wonders if falling from grace because of her is so bad.

Behave! 

Feel Good Friday!

We made it! And the weather isn't terrible despite the threat of rain later! 

Let's get to the list:

1. Looking forward to the weekend despite the crazy it will be. 

2. We're on grandkid duty this weekend. There's soccer and who knows what else. Unfortunately, it means we'll likely miss our friends from the left coast, which is super sad since we haven't seen them in ages. If we can swing it, we will, but it's not looking good at this point. 

3. Probably some extra sleep but we'll see what happens. Sleeping hasn't been the greatest in our house this week so some extended time would be appreciated. 

4. My lil baby plants looking good. Even though I know they aren't what I bought. I just hope they're pretty. 

5. Grandkids. 

We're at the very beginning of our time chaos. I'll do my best to post--especially when Prophecy is available--but forgive me if I disappear for longer than normal. 

Oh...also. If you got Life After on Kindle Unlimited, just a reminder that I only get paid if you read it. I mean if you started it and think it sucks, then fine. 

That is all...

Behave! 

Late Week Check In...

We survived the cold snap! Our patio looked interesting with sheets, tipped over trash cans, and a small heater, but the plants survived and look no worse for wear. I'm eager to get new plants now that we're (hopefully) done with the cold. 

Prophecy is coming soon! I have my cover and I love it! I hope to have it uploaded by this time next week at the latest! I'll share a sneak peek at the cover within the next few days! I'm pretty sure I know which one is going up next but it's going to be a few weeks until I get that far. 

The day job has been crazy town! Hopefully things settle down soon. But then again, I usually don't know what to do with myself when things are calm, so there's that. Ha! 

And that's about it...

Behave!
