Back in the saddle again.

Recently I went to a writers meeting of an organization that I used to be very active in. I was thrilled to see all the writers and the organizer Lori, again. The more we talked, the more my creative juices flowed. I missed writing more than I realized. No, my blog doesn't count. At least, I don't think it does. I have finished my book, The Great Chase, and am now on the hunt for a good editor. I am hoping to find one soon to get started on the revisions.
 
I have now started on my other book, Sleepless Nights, a collection of scary and strange stories. I am hoping to have that done by the end of this year and get it edited and revised by next year. Of course, as most writers know, writing is not a very lucrative business unless you are "discovered" and make it big, like Stephen King or Anne Rice. So I will have some life changes this year. I am looking forward to starting my real estate classes. That's right I said real estate classes. I am looking forward to being a real estate agent. Of course that will not stop me from being creative and continuing my writing. So when I am completely rich and famous, I can buy a big fat house and live like a queen. In the meanwhile, I will be a working stiff like the rest of the world.
 
I have been an at home writer and CFO of My Family Inc. (that is not a real business by the way) for a few years now and am looking forward to moving forward with my career. But my classes don't start until mid April so until that time I am doing a couple of things. One, I am on this whole Paleo "lifestyle" trying to lose some weight. Every one's new year's resolution. I kinda have to stick with this though as this is doctor ordered. So I have been working out three times a week for about an hour or two. It hasn't been easy but I have stuck with it. I will admit that I feel better and have seen some success but I have fallen off the horse now and then. I'm not perfect.
  
Second, write..write...write. I am trying to write a least 30 minutes a day. That is very difficult with family and life in general. Those of you who have kids and a job can understand where I am coming from with time crunch issues. But I find that writing at night is best for me. I can decompress from the day and relax enough to let my mind come up with something wonderful. 
 
As I mentioned earlier I am part of a writers group, the Boulder Writer's Workshop, and I was asked-all members with blogs were asked-to link their blogs to the website. I was hesitant of course. Here all the writers have blogs about Poetry, book reviews and other serious issues and mine is called My Bytch Blog where I B&C about crap that happens in my life and random stuff that my warped brain comes up with. **Sigh** I felt like the black sheep of the family. I reluctantly agreed and hope I don't get laughed out of my writers group for being some hack writer of shitty satire. Well we'll see. I'll keep you posted.
           
Until next time...

Isn't this over yet?!

Sometimes I just want to scream! It feels like the last 2 and half years have just taken a crap on me and my family and there seems no end in sight.  Oh let's recap shall we... 2016 was my son's first open heart surgery followed by a plethora of doctor's appointments and other surgeries. I thought it was over by the end of the year and took the advice of Whitney Houston and friends when I exhaled. However, my fun filled days were not over yet and I found myself dumbfounded by the turn of events in my life.  2017 started out fine...well not really. January brought us the bad news that our black Lab Molly Mae had cancer. It was in her bones and basically there was nothing to do but love her.  So, that's what we did. We took her home and loved her. Then, in April we were informed that my son needed to have another open heart surgery because the tissue valve that they put in was not performing the way that they thought that it would and now needed ...

16 days later...

Well, it's been sixteen days since my last post and well I can honestly say that I am totally disappointed. I thought that I would see some sort of growth but I haven't. What's worse is that my nails are so thin and weak that I had to actually cut some of my nails because they tore. Not because they grew. They were weak to begin with but at least they feel a little better. I mean I can now take a shower and the hot water doesn't hurt my fingernails. I am also a bit perplexed at the my second to the last finger. If you look close you can see the part of the nail that had solar on it and the amount of growth but my nail never got longer and this is not one of the one's that I had to trim. Things that make you go hummmm.  So here are my nails. I have been using the Nail-Aid Keratin for 16 days. It says 3 days growth but in three days I saw no growth. I have been receiving e-mails and comments suggesting that I use the O.P.I. Nail Strengthening but I refuse. ...

3 day nail check in

It had been three days since I have removed my nails and coated them with Sally Hansen's Hard as Wraps nail covering. Now the directions say to take off the polish after three days and restart the process all over again with two (2) new coats. When they say that you need to remove the polish after three days and start over, they mean it. Here is what happens on the third day, prompting you to remove the polish. My nails with the initial tear on the polish. The polish starts to lift and tear off. It started with a small uplift on the side of my nails and I pulled off the rest. Surprisingly, the whole thing came off without having to use nail polish remover.The problem with that, though, is that my nails underneath are still very thin and weak.  In this picture the nail is bent. It's a little hard to see it but I am bending my nail. The weak condition of my nails has continued and I see no real change to them . The next picture is of  the top of my nail, showing the te...
