Need to get working! er...writing!

Ok....gotta get to work on getting published.  Yeah, I got a job and it pays alright; but I just worked on this big project and I think I messed up a bunch.  I need to have a back-up plan for when I screw up!

Got my Priest to 85 and got her some gear.  Now I'm going to bed!

Hit a wall

Well, I hit a wall in the whole "getting published" thing.  I'm working on a query and a "marketing" essay question answer.  I just can't concentrate and work on it.  Why?  Because I'm trying to get my Shadow Priest to level 85 in Wow, of course!

I was thinking; I don't think I realize how fat I am.  It's like it sneaked up on me.  We were talking to someone today who said she'd lost 50 pounds and was now just under 200 lbs.  That puts her a dozen or so pounds heavier than I, but if I look like she does, someone needs to put me out of my misery.  I don't think I look THAT fat...or do I?  Maybe I just don't realize how big I am.  In my mind, I'm still the 150 lbs I was when I worked at NAC (and thought I was fat then).  And it's not just the way I look that bothers me.  I really feel like I can't do anything.  Going up stairs is really hard.  At my cousin's house on the Fourth of July, I was trying to climb up onto the trampoline and my legs just wouldn't move.  I was willing my left leg to go up onto the springs, but it wouldn't.  I felt like a 'tard, mainly because my sister and her boyfriend had successfully made it into the trampoline with no problems.

Now with my tendonitis in my hand and shoulder, it makes me extra retarded trying to do stuff.  I noticed the other day when I was washing dishes that my hands get tired really easily and my right hand (the one with tendonitis) can't hold anything right.  I guess I am getting old, but I find it hard to believe that my chronic tendonitis, muscle weakness, eczema, weight gain, and all my hormonal problems aren't associated some how.

Oh, someday I'll have health insurance and find a doctor who will try to figure out what's wrong with me.  My health insurance from Home Nursing should kick in around September.  Thankfully, I think on August 1 our vision insurance will be active.  Chris really needs to get his eyes checked and get new glasses.  I wouldn't mind having some new glasses as well.

I always find cute frames, ok?  I try them on, they look cute.  But my eyes are so bad, that the lenses make my eyes look tiny and suddenly, I'm not so cute anymore.  Blah.

Trying to get published!

Ah, Blogger!  We meet again!  I haven't been on Blogger for years.  I started a blog called Fairy Tale back in 2001 and stopped posting probably around 2005 or 2006...which reminds me, I was writing a book with my old blogs.  I'll have to go work on that sometime.

Speaking of books, I'm currently in the process of getting my book Kayla's Second Chance published.  I need to fill out an author evaluation form and create a query.  I would do it tonight, right now, but Chris is sleeping and my laptop battery is dying.

We're sleeping on the living room floor tonight.  It's hot as balls outside and our central air doesn't reach upstairs.  I feel bad for my parents; they don't have any air conditioning.  I was over there tonight for supper and sweat was running down my back and face.  My knees were sweaty.  Knees shouldn't be sweaty!

I've been eating over at my parents' a lot recently.  Money's tight.  Another reason I'm working on getting published; the first is that it's what I've always wanted.  Monday I start my job at Home Nursing; I'm assuming I'll be in training for a while, though my supervisor hasn't mentioned how long it will last.  I'm pretty sure that I'll be working my "normal" hours of 11-7 on the day of the GCS reunion.  My dad was kinda mad when he found out about that.  Oh well.  How does he expect me to pay for my meal?  Ha ha!
