Hey there!

Yes I am still alive! Things are settling down/stabilizing with roommate, and the sort of schedule is helping. I tried writing during a couple of the commutes, on hard copy, and while that doesn't seem to work really well, I can make some notes.



I've been working almost exclusively on my coathored original project, but in the back of my mind, I'm planning and plotting some fanfic, including hopefully wrapping up the massive Nickverse story!

Here's my writing progress so far!

97219 / 300000
(32.41%)

Not where I wanted to be, but if I can get these two original coauthored done, I'll consider this year's writing a victory.

How're YOU?

Thanks for the update, Jet. It's good to hear things are settling down a bit. I hope you get a chance to find a good rhythm. *HUGS*

Here, things are going along. DH moved from the trucks to the freezer about a month / month and a half ago, and he does much better at it. They finally got the paperwork for him to go hourly as opposed to full-time, which, amazingly enough, means a probable increase in salary. He usually has to stick to <39 hours a week, though last week and this, it'll be closer to 60. (Last week because of emergencies, this week because he's playing boss).

Still homeschooling the Things, and I've gotten some positive feedback from others on how much they're learning, so I'm feeling a bit... vindicated. I don't push a lot of work every day -- only about 3-4 separate things, but they get them done and learned, which may be more than they learned in a day in a school setting. So, I'm content with that.

I've got some pictures up on my DA that I just finished, which I'm kind of proud of. A few photos of plants growing in our very dry world. http://thecookiemomma.deviantart.com/

Thanks so much! I think when roommate gets into rehab, we'll have a better schedule organized. At the very least we won't be visiting every day.

Sounds like things are progressing for you guys!

Considering all that's going on for you, you are rocking the word count. Glad to see you are still hanging in there!

Thanks! I just hope it turns in to actual books that don't need massive amounts of edits ;)

Glad things are slowly starting to settle and sort themselves out. I reckon that's great progress in your writing considering everything happening all around you.

Thanks so much! Yes, its so hard for me to plan anything not knowing where things stand, on any given day. For the last two weeks plus, we've been told she'll be in rehab tomorrow.

I think the most important thing is that RL stops being so crazy for you. *hugs*
