There are only two more posts for the 100 Words story and I’m considering just posting them here today and being done with it so it can get posted to the archive. Any opinions?

I have started my one and only holiday story for 2018 and have a good start on it.  I think I am going to forgo chaptering it and it will be a one-shot. It will be ready in plenty of time for posting in December. I needed to take some pressure off myself. Wasn’t sure that I was going to write any this year but I decided if I did one and wrote it well before December I could be okay with it.

As I said last week next up is Unbonded, Nine Lives and The Experiment.

Last week’s doctor’s appointment went well. Weatherwise we are in the 80s which s fairly typical for May.  Hope everyone has a good week.

 

Mid-Week Rambles May 02, 2018

Baby Spock

So I started a new story, Nine Lives, which will no doubt fill those who think I shouldn’t write anything new with the proper outrage. But I wanted to have something a little fun to write for myself, though there will be elements of angst. It’s still me. Honestly it’s another idea that sort of became more than I intended when I first thought about it while lying awake at night.

I still intend to update All I Ever Wanted this week. Not sure if I will get to Unbonded until next week. I also hope to finish my ongoing 100 words story PDQ.

On the personal front I bought a new coffeemaker. There was nothing wrong with my Keuring, honestly, but this one is a Hamilton Beach coffeemaker that can brew a carafe of coffee or a k-cup, both. I loved that idea. I’ve been eyeing it for a bit and finally broke down and got it from QVC because I could spread the payments out between 3 months. I just received it last night. Now I can make pots of coffees for us or for guests or whatever or just a single couple if it’s only me. Plus I’ll probably use less k-cups, which are bad for the environment.

Went and saw A Quiet Place last night. Pretty damn disturbing to be honest. I don’t know which of you has heard about this movie but it is intense and not good for the faint of heart. I heard there is going to be a sequel and I think I may have to skip that.

The last few days have been cool here and yesterday, on May 01, we had some rain. It was shocking. Funny thing is it’s supposed to be 85 Friday. Thus is the enigma of California.

Speaking of Friday I have a follow-up Doctor’s appointment I do not want to go to. Sigh. And he wants me to have some tests. Ordinary tests for those my age but still. I hate tests and doctors. I haven’t made any of those appointments yet so I will have to lie a bit Friday and say I did and then I will make them later.

Don’t even ask me when I last went to the dentist. You don’t want to know! LOL.

Ramblings, April 30,2018

So Saturday went off to the two-year-old’s birthday party at Shakey’s. Traffic was horrendous because of an accident so even though we left more than two hours early we were about five minutes late! We did get to meet my three month old grand niece, too. What a sweetheart. Another group of family members were an hour late because of the traffic and we only had the space reserved for an hour and a half. Oops.

Despite the ridiculous speed of the weekend, I did manage to get You’re in My Veins updated. Right after that, of course, AO3 had a meltdown and was down for a while. Sigh. Oh well.

On the agenda this week is Young and Beautiful, All I Ever Wanted, and Unbonded. That’s definitely enough.

I will have new updates to 100 words coming up on the weekend. I am working toward the conclusion of that soon and then after that I don’t know what I will have for the blog. We shall see.

 

More Ramblings, April 25, 2018

Went and saw Rampage last night with a group of friends. This is the one with Dwayne “the Rock” Johnson. I have to say I found it quite entertaining. But I really like him. He’s really nice to look at and very funny and charming. He had some great lines in this too. Like, “of course the wolf flies”. LOL.

This weekend is my great niece’s second birthday party which will be held at a Shakey’s Pizza. It’s two hours away, which is too far, really, but you do what you gotta do.

On the very upside I think during weigh in tomorrow at WW I will have lost 18 pounds. Go me.

As I indicated earlier, I updated Didn’t We Almost Have it All on Monday. Check it out if you didn’t get a chance because it’s pretty intense. On Tuesday, I updated You are the Light That’s Leading Me.  My goal now for the rest of this week is to maybe get this one finally done. It would be nice to have one of the ones I started in 2016 concluded.

I’ll be honest. Once I finish my WIPs I am considering not writing anymore. I haven’t made up my mind 100% but that’s where I am leaning. No need to worry, I have plenty still going for now but recent events have been discouraging and I just don’t know that I have it in me to keep at this for any length of time. We will see how it goes.

Sort of Weekly Ramblings, April 23, 2018

IMG_3227

So last week I was gone most of the week but I still managed to update Where My Demons Hide and Anything. Not bad.

This week my concentration is on two, Didn’t We Almost Have it All and You are the Light That’s Leading Me. I think I am almost at the end of You are the Light. We shall see but that’s how I am feeling.

I don’t know if I will update anything else, I’d like to play it by ear. There may be more or a one shot or just about anything, really. Maybe nothing but those above I mentioned.

As for the 100 words continuation, I have the next four parts written and scheduled and all I can say is that things will begin to look up for our Captain soon! Once it’s all finished, I will likely post it on the archive as a one-shot but you all got to see it here first.

I just managed to pass another birthday. Time marches on as they say.

I have no other trips planned until the end of June. However, M is going to visit family for a week and a half in earlier June, so that’s a week and a half by myself.

I did take the Friday before Memorial Day off just to have a four day weekend.

Anyway, that’s neither here or there I guess.

Thanks for checking me out.

A Bit of Rambling, April 19, 2018

Okay so I am back from several days in Las Vegas celebrating April birthdays in our group. There are a lot. It was way too much socializing for me, to be honest. But there were some highlights as well.

As is fairly normal in Vegas I ate too much. I had great plans to do well on my diet but they didn’t end up working out, alas.

Next up in updating is Anything but I haven’t started it so I don’t know that it will go up today. Unless I write really fast. Which sometimes I do. But I am also catching up at work.

I have more socializing to do this weekend as well as blood tests for the doctor (oh what fun).

I’m behind on pretty much everything so bear with me while I catch up. I do have the next 100 words scheduled for tomorrow.

Updates to Come

Today I updated The Experiment.

My next plan is to finish Pawn

I will then move on to What Happened to Spock, followed by My Devotion. Not sure how soon I will have those done but that is the plan.

I also plan to write the next two parts of my 100 words story so they are all set to go. I may write the next four so I am well ahead.

I will be gone from April 15-April 19 so there will be no updates of any kind during that period.

Hope your day brings peace.

Shake Rattle and Roll

In case we forget we live in Earthquake territory, we had a 5.3 today off the coast of Channel Islands, which is in my county.

I happened to be home as I have a doctor’s appointment this afternoon and the shaking knocked over a tv tray table and Crazy went…well crazy! LOL

You’ve seen those cartoons where the back end goes faster than the front? That was Crazy the cat in today’s excitement!

Ramblings of the Week March 10, 2018

worldfamous

I’ve found a solution to my financial situation so that’s good. It’s a hard lesson learned but done nevertheless and no one needs to worry you’ll see a Go Fund Me page. Nope. Never.

My first update this week promises to be the next chapter of When I Loved You. because that is where I felt I needed to go. After that, well, we will see. I’ve already written and scheduled my next 100 words to be up Friday.

I think this may be my last ramblings for a while. I might switch to rambling only once a month. I will still be updating my 100 words and posting videos, stories, etc as the whim hits me.

But for now, I’m taking a rambling break. Probably see you again to ramble in April.
