| Here is a collection of ruminations and whatnot. |
| I'm thinking of dyeing my hair pink. I had that before and I liked it. |
| Getting ready to join my Mary Kay group on Zoom. Feeling a bit out of sorts. Never had the meeting on a Saturday morning with them before. |
| I had a problem this morning trying to get things done and kept retreating to my room and staying in bed. I recovered well enough and now I'm back on the clock with work. It's a working Saturday. I'm thinking more about resuming The Bridge and wanting my Muse to help with this pivotal scene that I want to write. It's coming along well enough but I am feeling protective of my novel, and wanting it to be just right. As Hemingway said, to write one true sentence. That's what I aim to do when I write. If it doesn't look right, or it sounds a bit hackneyed, or somehow it isn't me or my style, I'm guessing some bastard is trying to go along and wanting the words the way he or she wants it written. I don't like it but that seems to be my lot in my life. |
| Went to run errands. Bright sun. Snow everywhere. A queue at the USPS. Bought some special editions stamps - the Scooby Doo ones. Had a good time. God is GOOD. |
| I awoke to the noise of the fierce winds outside my window. I heard something on my roof and I felt scared. I do not have any money to repair any damage to my roof. I asked My God to help me so that I can figure out how best to care for my 17 year old house. My stepfather has no money either and both of us are on a fixed income. |
| I'm in need of reviewers of my books. I have several author copies of a few of my books. Please help me get my books reviewed so that i can get more readers. Message or email me with your request for a free author copy. Thank You. Mary |
| Today was a pleasant day outside. We had our breakfast. Then I had to deliver a MK item to a friend of the family. We got there and did the drop-off and she was ok. She said she no longer does any work (she used to be in travel) and so I got the idea that she might not be buying much from me in the future. It was ok with me. But it did make me feel unhappy that people I've sold MK things to are getting shy about putting in future orders. We left her place and we drove to get me some cigs and then we got back home. I have been lollygagging the rest of the day, thinking of what might be needed in the kitchen for tonight's dinner. We are having leftovers. But because the leftovers are good, it's ok. My Dad cooks really well for what he can afford. I'm liking what he gets from the grocery even though we have a tight budget. We are depending on what income we get from Social Security. So our budgets are always tied to the mortgage and utility bills, and other needed expenses. I hope that someday this MK business will thrive. However, people aren't so receptive to my emails to them. I've sent over thirty emails to people and haven't had much luck except for three people, and these three people aren't that friendly to the MK brand. I hope that their products perform for them so that they'll be inspired to keep going to me for their MK refills and new orders. I've also send newsletters by snail mail to people in the area. Nothing from that. I hope that soon I can hit on the right kind of marketing to make people think of me first when thinking about their skincare needs and makeup choices. I do not know what to do otherwise. Today even though it was pleasant outside I felt the pangs of unkind thoughts that impacted my being. I do not know what will make them stop. I've prayed and prayed and asked My God to help get rid of these unkind thoughts and negative ionic beings so that I can have a peaceful existence and I can do some more writing. I have been able to withstand these unkind thoughts' effects on me and that is a grace from My God. But if I persist on writing my novels and books these unkind thoughts will drill down at me and make me forever sad. They will attack and make me feel sad for a long time and I won't have any time in the day or night to do what I want to do with my writing. So I have to find another job but what job could it be? I can't go to the office and work in it. Those bad unkind thoughts will follow me there and they'll have stuff and their stuff will intimidate me and make me unable to work there any longer. If I were to work for a remote job (thanks to COVID, there are some), then it would help me. I do not have to worry about looking office-ready but I will have to look presentable when the remote boss will ask me something on video conference. I hope that there might be a job like that. However, I'll have to keep looking for something to turn up. It might be another long stretch before I get an email from a recruiter. Guess I'll have to think of something else now. I hope everyone has a great day! Mary |
| I don't know what happened to me but I'm feeling a stress and durm and angst feeling that i cannot attribute to anything that's happened to me. I've got several good things that are going to be happening. A job interview, a business transaction, and something else. But what happened in between was that my dog got his jaws on my crochet project and I had the devil of a time to get him to release it. then I had a funky pain in my knee which I'm nursing. I can walk and sit down and so on but somehow if I have the leg bent somehow weird or too much at an acute angle the pain comes back. I think it's just a fluke. I took some pain meds earlier and that should take care of things. The other thing that I might have in my gut that is causing some stress and durm and strang is that someone I know is going through hell in his life and it could be I'm suffering for him. I hope that God will take care of him. He doesn't deserve the life he has been going through. . I can't be sure but it could be that which is affecting my own gut feelings. I do not know what else it could be. |
