have had strange weather…

…all year long

we really didn’t have a spring. it stayed pretty cold up here. until late June we had fires in our fire place. then it got warm and we had to turn on the air conditioners. Well, here it is mid August, and except for the office, were we have multiple computers, we have shut down the air conditioners and fans because it has cooled right down. We have even had snow in the higher elevations…not too much higher than we are…already.

I can tell it is going to be a cold winter. don’t know how snowy it will be…but cold, definitely. I really don’t think we will have much of a fall either…which is sad, because it is my favorite season.

Strange, strange weather.

Not a word written for weeks…

…unless you count a couple of pages of a short story…but I really don’t count that. Hell, I haven’t really even been able to get in here to blog.

I have many reason’s that I haven’t written. all of them equate to not being able to get to the computer to actually write. I have a few minutes here  or there to pop on Facebook, but not long enough to actually write. For me, to be able to write and actually get in the grove for it to be good writing and not just passable, or *gasp* bad writing, I have to be able to actually sit, not be disturb and be able to sink into it.

But when house cleaning, cooking, taking my turn to sit with grandma, running to doctors, taking care of business, and pain…I have not been able to get the time to actually sit and zone like I need to for writing.

And that is a bad thing. A very bad thing.

I need to take a day, pre-arrange it with the family so that I can take the whole day and do nothing but write…including keeping mother out of the office LOL.

One nice thing…we have a lovely new printer that prints a lot faster than my old one…and the ink is a lot cheaper, and prints a lot more per cartridge. LOL.

For now…I will continue to see where I can try to work in some words here or there. or a blog here or there…

Words That Annoy Me…

…will return next week.

I have been so busy this past week helping to get grandma settled in and helping to get her house cleaned out and our house cleaned that I have barely had any time, not to mention throwing my back out and going to the doctor today…LOL I didn’t even remember that we had a doctor appointment until mom reminded me day before yesterday, and even then I forgot until yesterday evening when I remembered that everyone had to bathe for today LOL. So, the doctor did what I was half expecting him to do…he set me up with a colonoscopy and an endoscopy at the same time. Mom has to have an endoscopy as well, so we set it all up for the same day. Mine is to see what my gastroparesis and ulcerative colitis is doing and to see why I am choking when I eat. so not fun. It is really not fun trying to get the colitis and the gastroparesis to play nice together. when I am hungry the colitis makes it so I can’t eat. when I can’t eat, my colitis is being nice…it is a no-win situation. you would think with how little I am able to eat any more, that I would weigh a lot less than I do. that in of itself makes me angry LOL. Oh well. Now, I get to go make a phone call to the insurance company because they are not playing nice with medicare about one of my other doctors. grrrrr… sigh…
