Yes, yes, I am well aware I need to do an update on Random Stranger. I am working on it. Actually that’s a lie. I’m not. But I will be. I am actually working on chapter 2 of Bombay as I need to have that up for Friday, but once that chapter is done, I will on Random Stranger.
So little time to get everything I need to get done. Sigh. And I have been admittedly lazy lately. Maybe I should have that AI program write my chapters as the spam I keep getting on this site suggests, LOL
This weekend is one of my great niece’s 5th birthday party. They live in a place called Rancho Cucamonga and it is about an hour and a half away, so not only do you have to spend hours at the party but tack on 3 hours for travel to and from. Ah, well. Such is life.
I don’t have any pretty pictures of my own I am afraid as I have been lazy there too. No walking or anything. Shameful.

Oh I remember an entire January not long ago that you took the entire month off from writing anything here or AO3 because you posted every single day of December. So hey, if everybody else is as happy as I am to get what you’re up to giving us, we’re all good!

Life is day to day. We never know what the next hour brings, much less tomorrow. And what we can and can’t handle, or want to handle. The fact you let us in on your thought process is amazing, because very few would do that, especially considering it’s really none of our business what you decide to do. You aren’t charging us anything so we have no money invested, and you said you won’t let us donate to your WP account. So – life just isn’t certain at all in any area.
So as I always said before I started that dang diet – “Life is uncertain. Eat dessert first.” And so we are here, figuratively!

That is so true. We never know what the future brings, whether good or bad, and as they say nothing is certain but death and taxes

Not shameful. Sometimes doing nothing, even when you think you should, is exactly what you should be doing. It’s a form of self care as well.
I am looking forward more chapters though! But I’m happy to wait until you can give ‘em to me! 🙂

Yeah I’ve had a lot of self care lately. LOL. Too much binge eating and watching stuff instead of writing or whatever. And planning trips in he future and medical stuff and it’s just…yeah I shouldn’t be this lazy but I have been. I’m hoping I get over it LOL

I too am looking forward to seeing new updates and flashes. But I’m just greedy like that. But do what you can, when you can. You come first.
You are a better person than I, going to a birthday party for a 5 year old that is so far away. But you can’t judge by me. I have absolutely no social life whatsoever. 💙💔 The nearest cousin that I stay in contact with is an 8 hour drive away. I am not going there anytime soon and there’s another cousin that I haven’t seen since my father’s funeral in 2018 that I really don’t keep in contact with, but I should, she’s about two hours away. 🤷🏻♀️
I have tons of first and second cousins, but they’re all in Ireland and England. Most of whom I’ve never even laid eyes on. 😢
I’m off tonight. Hallelujah!!
🎊🎉🥳 🥂🍾
Work has been horrendous! No staff, especially on the day shift. And since I’m the night supervisor, I get the brunt of the problem because I can’t create a schedule with nothing.
Enjoy the birthday party 🥳 🎂and planning your future trips.
❤️💚😘🖖

Well in fairness this is my brother’s daughter’s little girl and she is adorable. Plus my sister and I feel like we have to make up for the fact that our brother is a drunken homeless person who isn’t in their lives, so we ARE their family, we represent grandpa because he can’t represent himself. Sad but true.
I don’t know most of my cousins either 🙂
