It's Good to be Back!

I've been gone for a couple of weeks due to work and I'm oh so happy to be back!  It was a long two weeks with much work done over the course of many many hours.  It was a good couple of weeks even if it was very draining as lots of things were accomplished at work.

With the good also comes the bad though.  Working anywhere from 12 to 21 hours a day (thankfully more 12s than 21s) prevents a person from doing much besides work, eat and sleep.  Family time is cut to the bone as is anything else you spend your time on.  Hobbies are pretty well worked right out of the life equation.

During the past two weeks, I did not blog or write.  Part of that is my laziness and part was exhaustion.  Hopefully though, things will level out now, and I can get back to normal.  Writing, drawing and reading nightly.

To not loose complete touch with my artistic side during those weeks, I continued to read at night (if only a couple pages) and listen to podcasts to and from work.  At least that way I'm thinking about writing even if I'm not actually doing it.

I did write tonight though.  My first night back at it and it felt good.  I also enlisted in "The Magic Spreadsheet" after listening to Mur talk so good about it on the "I Should Be Writing" podcast.  I'll be sure to keep you posted on that and how it works for me.  Hopefully well.

Well, it's bedtime here.  'Til next time, I'll be here write 'n stuff!

Sick and Tired

I hate to say it, but for the past two weeks, I've almost completely quit writing.  The next two weeks aren't looking that promising either.

I haven't actually quit though.  While I have wanted to continue to write, my body has rebelled against me.  My sinuses anyway.  It seems that all I've done over the past couple of weeks is cough, hack and spit.  (not necessarily in that order)  Bear in mind that my writing normally occurs between 10pm and 12am, but when nine o'clock rolls around and you can't hold the eyes attached to your medicine head open, what are you going to do?  I normally take even more meds and go to sleep, hoping in vain to wake feeling better.

The good news is that I seem to be on the road to recovery even if I'm not there yet.  I still can't lay down at night (sleeping in a chair) or quit the cough, but I have begun to feel somewhat better.  This is just in time for a big thing at work that's gonna have me working long hours for the next couple of weeks.  (that's how we pay the bills though)

It is frustrating being sick but it's something everyone goes through.  I feel as though I could be done with the first draft of the "Rin and Finnius" story but oh well...  All I can do now is look to the future where hopefully I will feel really good and have lots of time to write stuff.

I'm going to bed now and maybe dream about write 'n stuff!
