Mixed Blessings
Aug. 30th, 2004 01:02 pmOne of those good news, bad news days...
Got my blood which means that the PMS symptoms are starting to shift in to the menstrual symptoms, like cramps. Heat wave seems to have passed and that with my blood flow seems to be lessen the FM symptoms. Less joint pain, except for the lower abdomen.
I also saw my chiropractor Saturday, which helped a lot. I hadn't been in in months because of money but after hearing from a friend why I had not come in, he insisted that I was not to worry about that but come in anyway.
School started up next door. The damn whistles are back. Especially hate the 8 AM crossing guard who seems to think the whistle should be nearly constant -- right outside my bedroom window! Wore ear plugs last night in anticipation but they fell out. Got to get better ones.
Had a restful and happy day with my two sweeties yesterday. We puttered around cleaning up after the ritual.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
redhatmary did all of the dishes from the ritual/party before the guys even woke up. Isn't she amazing? Nice to have a Pagan mother who supports her daughter's choices. Somedays I forget just how special that aspect of my life is.
Have not been able to speak to Rowan since he returned to Iowa. Our ex dropped their land line and isn't returning cell phone calls. I gotta send a letter in the meantime.
I have some social stuff this week, therapy and chiro appointments and some financial work to do. Other than that, I am going to try to keep the stress levels down as much as possible. I have a good idea where chapters 16-18 are going, so I am optimistic about getting more writing done.
Did I mention the best news? I have amazing friends and family.

Damn, but I'm hot...
Aug. 30th, 2004 07:03 pmJust completed Chapter 16 "Bloody Stone".
Even incomplete as it is, this is the longest single work I have ever written. It is now nearly twice my master's thesis length.
Folks keep asking me, "How many chapters long will it be?"
Hell if I know. Every time I sit down and begin writing the characters show me new depths and aspects of the story I hadn't realized before. It may be the same basic story and characters but the degree of detail and the level of emotional complexity is far beyond anything I could have ever written before.
I love it.

Solitary practice for a social person?
Aug. 30th, 2004 08:57 pmOne of the things I don't like about writing is that it is a very solitary practice. I hole up in my room for days at a time barely coming out.
When I get feedback either in person or in livejournal, it makes the process less lonely. I find it ironic that the need to share my ideals with other people often keeps me away from them.

In case you missed it...
Aug. 30th, 2004 09:38 pmBecause a number of people said they missed my post a few weeks ago about my other livejournal...
I have a second livejournal where I post without anything that would directly identify me. It is an adult only journal. For those who want the juicy details or just the crazy ramblings about the more intense areas of my life, let me know and I can send you the name of the link and friend you. (Most posts are only viewable to accounts friended.]
This post will self-destruct in a couple days...
