I hurt too much yesterday to do muuch more on my room.
finally got my mail sent out though. Right now I really donn't need anything else to do but I bought a book of stamps so there is really no reason why I can't participate in Snail Mail Group now other than having a ton of other things to do.....
Any ways Sally and I did that and then went out for breakfast.
That was the extent of what I got done on Monday.


today the dressers and bookcase came in. I was so full of Anxiety I was shaking. Luckily Bill took care of most of it. Had to move the printer and change around the plants but things are good.I just don't know how I'm going to water them.

Everything is still so crazy in my room but Terry said I had to lower my expectations of what I can get done in a day. I got a lot done though. Now it is just a matter of figuring out where to put all of it. It'll be easier once the closet is cleaned out.

I'm hot. my nose keeeps running. my tongue hurts and is swollen a little. my throat hurts. I've been having angina. it hurts to eat. I think I've got thrush and it is spreading........I csn't get in to see my doctor anytime soon though so it'll have to work its way through my system.

My feet have been bothering me too. They're peeling a lot and I had to cut excess skin off one heel.

My Parkinsons is not doing me any favors either. my muscles have been going weak lately.

I'm tired. I'm going to bed.

Even though I do believe in magick, coincidences, and wishes, the only luck I believe in is someone being struck with bad luck; especially for an extended period of time. I used to say if it weren't for bad luck I would have no luck at all. I think that luck is more of a superstition in nature, and I don't believe in superstitions or conspiracy theories.

Spent today moving stuff around in my room getting ready for Tuesday. I hope the dresser fits where I have planned and the bookshelf isn't too tall. No one has touched Terry's room yet and I'm not doing it. I'm sure you can imagine how my body feels after doing my room.

It decided to snow again today. What fun. I still don't know what I'm doing with Sally tomorrow. I want to be able to relax but I don't think that is going to happen. I'm going to go to the mail store on Electric and see if I can get my packages mailed. It should be interesting. One of them was supposed of been picked up by FedEx. ha ha. One is supposed to mail for free through UPS but I don't even know where that one is. No matter. I'll just do what I can and hope everything comes out all right.

Bill mounted my TV, put my curtains up on my shrine, and mounted a hook to hang my spider plant. I don't know how I'm going to water it I'll figure something out.

The birds were moved out of my room today. That was awesome. Hopefully Don will take them or we can find some place that will in the near future. The food I've been giving them for a week now is wild bird food, not parakeet food and the bottom of the cage hasn't been cleaned in a couple of months. Add to that we got field mice coming into the house now and you'll understand why I need to get rid of them.....

Hoepfully things will go better tomorroww

The Horror newsletter makes me beg the question: what truly is mundane to someone with the imagination of a writer? To my creative mind, the whole world is my playground......

There's a mindfulness exercise that asks you to create something that doesn't exist. Once you know the object in every detail, you are to picture it existing in the real world.....Say your object is an alien fruit that is oblong and black with big purple splotches. Then you picture that fruit sitting in the grass under a tree in the park. Or you could have it sitting in a corner of your bedroom......
Anyways that exercise taught me how I could add anything to this world that I wanted for a story. After all, isn't that what makes it fiction?


Things are going okay. I've been trying to get my room ready for the dresser and bookshelf to be delivered on Tuesday. It is a very slow process, and I am going to have to move some things into the Dining room for a short period of time until I get organized afterward. I've already decided I am not helping with Terry's room until after her dresser is in place. Someone else can move stuff around to make room.

I asked Bill and he is going to help me get my TV mounted on the wall and get my curtains up over my shrine tomorrow. I'm not going to be able to get my wall hangings up until after that and after the dresser and bookcase are in place. I might have to get rid of some of them I have so many now.

Still trying to figure out what I'm going to do on Monday. Sally and I made plans to check out this new store. I have stuff I need to take to mail out and I really should get some stamps.

I don't know if I should be part of the Snail Mail Group anymore. I haven't been able to send stuff out like I wanted to when I first joined. I love sending snail mail but I just haven't had the postage. There are lots of groups I belong to on here that I don't really participate in.

My head is starting to swim again. I haven't been coming on here that much because my port is semi-confusing. I have things in my favorites that I am not active in any more. Some I don't even remember putting in my favorites....it makes it hard to find the stuff I do want to see and use.

Oh well, life does go on, such as it is.

Hiyo......Khola the Mousethyme here with your nightly report.....

Called Habitat this morning to see if they delivered..... Yes, for a $50 fee per load. Went there with Sally (who showed up late as usual. She thought our appointment was for 11:30) and picked out two dressers and a bookcase (one dresser was for Terry). Then went to CMH. Had my appointment with Jacob; all we did was change my plan to include Crochet. Found out that crochet lasts until 3:00 pm. Ok, fine. Went to crochet group and got a kit containing hooks, stitch counter, stitch markers, scissors, measuring tape, and other goodies (I think). That was cool. Also gave me a skein of white yarn. It's haard to work with white as it is and the yarn itself was thick and fraying. I sat there for almost two hours crocheting granny squares. Not that fun. I'm going to find my yarn and and some patterns and challenge them next week to teach me how to follow a pattern and make something other than afghans.

Came home and all I wanted to do was go to bed. Of course, I couldn't because I had to take care of Terry.

Not much else really happened. It was Friday so tomorrow is Saturday and will be a slow day.

Have to clean the rooms and get them ready for the furniture delivery on Tuesday. Shouldn't be too bad.

Please send good thoughts for Terry. She is getting better. She went to the doctors yesterday and got her stitches out. They gave her some light exercise to do with her arm and the physical therapist came and gave more suggestions....

Send good thoughts that this furniture works out.


The most relaxing space for anyone should be their bed. It is where you rest and recharge yourself for your next adventure. It should be conducive to sleep without difficulty. If there is then there must be something that needs to be addressed.
Right now where I'm at I can't help it, but I have this nasty habit of doing things in my bed. Getting on the computer, reading a book, writing notes for my novels, writing my novels. A bed, according to the experts, will tell you that your bed should only be used for sleep. Don't go to bed with plans on doing something else. You may be tired and say "I'll only work on this for a minute" but that minute turns into hours quickly.

Got three more books that I ordered in the mail yesterday:
          How to Write an Awesome Novel.....
          Character Keeper
          1,000 Character Reactions


I have a busy CMH day coming up on Friday culminating in Crochet Group. Going to be fun... I'm hoping to get a bookcase and dresser for my room. I'm going to pick them out Friday but I'm hoping I can delay delivery until Monday. I'm hoping they have some kind of delivery service otherwise I'm not going to be able to get them.

All of a sudden I'm getting tired. Probably because I don't want to help bring in groceries.

May write more later.


David insisted on bringing the groceries in to show us before putting them away. Terry was sleeping and I couldn't have cared less. Besides, I was reading....

Does anyone else just want to copy someone else's idea? I mean, tweak it a little to make it your own but still...... I don't think it would be plaguerism... just unethical.

I wish I would stop hurting so much. I make plans for the next day only to cancel them in the morning because I hurt so bad. I feel a little better after I get up and move around but not good enough to go out or to tackle any of the home projects I want to get done......

I wish I'd stop being sick too.....I am getting hot and nauseous especially towards the end of the day. ....

I'm going to take a shower and go to bed.....



Merry Meet and Blessed Be
then Merry Meet again!

My mind is swimming. I'm trying to do a campfire but I am so confused. I don't think any of us are understanding what the others are saying.

I think I'm getting sick again. Last night I was vomiting and tonight I am burning up and sweating. That's probably why I feel like my mind is swimming.......

I am trying to participate in WdC Dragon Vale. I can't figure out how to post when I earn points or even what earns me points any more. I'm just participating in the site and if my dragons ever hatch it will be good. If they don't then so be it.

I'm getting sick of all the games around here. You need to write but you got to write according to the rules. You need to review but the same thing goes. Why does everything have to be so strict???? This should be a place to work out the kinks in our writing. Not where we are submitting for publication........

I don't want to rant. I don't want to put down the site or its members. I love Writing.com. It is my second home. Sometimes it's my first.

I hate that I can't cry any more. The last time I remember having a uncontrollable cry was when my sister passed. I don't remember ever crying after that. I need to cry once in a while. Crying is cleansing. It relieves stress. I haven't let myself have a good scream lately either. We've got the land to do it. I could just walk out back and let loose. I'll have to do that soon.

Right now I have to go help Terry.......

Do you have phobias? I never thought about it really until about seven years ago. I realized then that I have had one all my life....
The best way to explain it is to tell you about the incident that happened on Sunday......

Bill tried to put a sticker on my forehead. Even thinking about it now freaks me out mentally. It happened so fast that I didn't have time to freak out physically otherwise Bill probably would of gotten hit. It didn't stick, just fell into my lap and I brushed it off into the garbage like it was some kind of bug.
I've always had this aversion to things sticking to my skin. I did hit a teacher in elementary school that tried to put a star on my forehead. I hit a nurse who didn't listen to me when I was teen and told her I didn't need a bandaid.
I've gotten better about it over the years but anything sticking to my skin still gives me the willies.

Terry has been getting on me about eating. My blood sugar is usually above 150 but I get shaky and loopy because of lack of sleep and overmedication lately. I've been trying to lay back in my chair and relax in the living room but it seems like just when I get comfortable Terry needs something..... I will be so glad when her arm is better.....

I don't know what else to add.

I never know what to write about any more. There are things you don't talk about in polite company and other things you just don't want the whole world knowing about....

I got up this morning in pain again, worse than the day before. I had to move each part of my body slowly before I could move around completely......

I got my tax return......it started a grand adventure.....

I signed it because Tracy told me I could scan the checks into my Chime account. That was not possible.

I went to cash the checks. I walked four city blocks to the party store only for them to tell me that they couldn't cash them because they were already signed.

Bill was with me and he looked at the check and found out they were drawn on a Chase bank. We walked eight more blocks to the Chase bank and luckily they took my medical card as a second form of ID.

We crossed the street and down another block to the Dollar General only to find I could only put half of what I wanted onto my card.......

Took a cab back to Coney Island and picked up some food then walked the four blocks back home.


I've been going shopping crazy but I'm getting things that I will be able to show for it. I have a bunch of books still coming besides the ones I listed on the newsfeed. I have a bunch of things coming for my witchcraft. I got a few things to give to people in the house. I got tables for the living room and one for my bedroom. I'm hoping to get a dresser and a bookshelf for my room on Monday.


things should be okay.... I just know that when the money is gone I'm going to feel depressed because it went so fast ... and I'm going to look at some of the things I got and think I didn't really need them and I should of used it for better things.....

Life will go on.....

Got up this morning and felt worse than I did yesterday.. I could barely move and I hurt sooo bad. I felt like I had been out on a week's bender.
Bill luckily had some of his special tea otherwise I would have been in that state all day.

Terry is doing better every day. I didn't expect it but David paid me for helping out with her. That was definitely cool.

I've been running up hill and circling the drain at the same time. I got a bunch of notes written on a few different stories lately but nothing concrete. At least very few of the notes are for new stories. I found a couple more of the old stories though and all of them are clamoring to get worked on. Meanwhile my muse is sitting in a lawn chair with a margarita waiting for spring or something. I think he waits until I'm asleep then pokes at me through my dreams because I have hundreds of ideas in that moment between wake and sleep. By the time I get a pen and paper though it is all nonsense.

I don't know. Lately I'm not getting anything done and the rest of the house wants to pile more on top of me.

I may write more later............

Texted out of my appointment today. I was just hurting too much and I had not slept well. I was also nauseous. I had planned on getting my xrays done while I was out. Didn't get that done either. Oh well.

Did call and leave a message with nuerology today. Hopefully they will call me back tomorrow or I will have to call them again on Moday.

Didn't get anything done today. I hurt so bad it was making me nauseous. My hip, knee, and back were attacking me good.

Just not in a good place....
