I am working diligently (or attempting to) on the final chapter of my 5 Things story. It’s about half done and I’m working on the sexy times part or about to, anyway. That will be my next update before the next chapter of The Mysterious One.
In other news I am rewriting the first two chapters of the Jim cheats on Spock story, Not too Few Regrets. I started it as first person but decided to go back to third and I intend to change the title. It’s going to be angsty obviously when i start posting it again but I want to get a bit done before that happens.
Still have a few Christmas in July’s to write but I am in pretty good shape there.
Sister just feels like she has a cold though still testing positive. Next week we go to Morro Bay for a couple of days June 30-July02. She thinks she will be good to go so the three of us are planning on it. Me, M, and Sister.
Over time continues. I did get an extra $200 last paycheck and an extra $400 this latest one so there is that. Given the prices of everything and my upcoming trip to Vegas at the end of August I’ll need it.
Last night we actually got a touch of rain and it’s 90ish today. Many parts of the country have it worse weather wise than us so I am not complaining! Yet.
If you are looking for something to read of mine, I will suggest Potions. I can’t link to it at the moment but if you find my “Stand Alone Series” it’s number 21.
I leave you with a picture of M’s world famous red, white and blue margaritas, this was from Memorial Day this year.

World famous? Where’s mine??!! 🤣
Glad sister is doing okay. That’s the best possible outcome when it gets ya. Here’s hoping the rest of recovery is super speedy. Especially bc you have trip coming up!
Ugh OT. Yay money. Especially with trip! Heh.
I’m very much looking forward to more chapters and especially the conclusion of 5 + 1. I can’t wait to see what you do with all of what you have coming up!
Take care of you!

Wol hopefully all that OT and hundred$ will bring you to where you WOULD have been without OT at this point last year! LOL. Or not LOL. The kind of inflation we have? No amount of raises or OT can make up for what we’re all losing the past 1 1/2 years prices wise. And that’s even if you can FIND what you want. The bare shelves still haunt here at certain stores. I feel so so sorry for all those moms feeding babies. But at least so many families are helping across the country – literally reporting on certain sites where formula can be found. Or mailing it to them. Nursing moms donating breast milk. We’re both the best people and the worst people, depending on circumstances, seems like.
Ug. Sorry.
I still remember the pics of M’s red/white/blue July 4th drinks pics the first year I met you – reading-wise, obviously. Never have/never will actually meet you. But wow, I loved all those drinks and food and veggies pics before the pandemic. Dang them!
Weather here is skirting 100 every day but it IS a dry heat here so I’m fine with it. We had enough rain the past month to carry us well into summer.
Rain for you? WOW – that’s the best news ever!!
I remember Potions so well!!
OK, I’ll tie a knot and hold on for the Jim cheating on Spock story.
I hate your job interfering with MY READING ENJOYMENT!! How dare they! Doggone real world! LOL
Thanks for updating us and for the pic.

Your guess is as good as mine! It doesn’t have a rhyme or reason and trust me you are not alone I have had to rescue Eveningstars and Elouesas a few times and Kris once too and you are all approved commenters!

Yeah I want to post the Cheating Jim story but there are a couple reasons I am waiting; Need a new title, want more chapters written, and readers are already overwhelmed. but it won’t be too long, crossing our fingers
Yes certain items here are scarce too. It’s nothing like not being able to feed your baby, obviously but I use spreadable light butter and I haven’t been able to get it but ONE time since Thanksgiving! It’s gone again in every single store
The other day one of my favorite grocery stores had a power outage so they had to throw out a bunch of spoiled food and had almost nothing
My job is interfering with my enjoyment too believe me ha ha
Yep Potions is a classic lol

Now I want a Margarita!!
I’m still working crazy shifts, where I’m the supervisor and the nurse on a unit pretty much every night 12am -8am. Ughhh! Maybe Uncle Sam could give us all a tax holiday on our paychecks to help us all?! I’ll be a good niece!! I’ll visit and call to say hello to Uncle Sam. Lol!!
Glad your sis is feeling ok. Hope she continues to recuperate!!
Enjoy your time off when it comes. It’s well deserved!!
Looking forward to reading more of your stories. The angsty one you mentioned, does it have an eventual happy ending??
My mental health, or what’s left of it! Lol) can’t face truly sad endings theses days.
Enjoy the rest of your week and weekend. This weekend my hubby and I are going north of Boston, near Salem, MA, to use some free hotel points he has and it’s our wedding anniversary too on Monday. We’ve been married 35 years. We’ll visit the touristy Salem spots and do a day in Boston. I’m looking forward to it.
❤️💚😘🖖

Lucky! I always wanted to go to Salem, never will though, might get to Boston. My dad was from there.
Yes CheatingJim (that’s the title until I get one) has a happy ending, I can’t say more because I don’t want to give away too many plot points but it does, but will initially have lots of angst firsr.

Can’t wait for all the updates and the rewrite.
Wishing a speedy recovery to your sister so she’ll feel better for the trip.
We had so many storms last night. Almost lost power. A part of the street up the road where there’s a bunch of stores were blacked out most of the evening. Didn’t mind it but it upset grammy as she needed a medication and one of the stores blacked out was the pharmacy. Will get that in the mornign for her.
That margarita looks so cool!
