I know. I suck. I do have a chapter to post on the LOTR/Twilight story that I meant to post last week. I do!!!
Just last week was more than I anticipated. I was so overwhelmed by the time I would be home, I was just wanting down time. But then I have that Time sensitive project I am working on. So no downtime for me.
Which is messing with me more than I can explain. Then there is the whole OCD thing I have going, and the fact I need to make up the stuff around the project.. UGH!
Then I was all, this week I am going back to the gym. Yep. This is the week. I am tired of being tired all the time, and maybe this will help me sleep. At the least, I will lose some weight, now that I am mostly back to eating 3 times a day. mostly. I mess up sometimes and only realize at night that I ate only 1 meal all day. Oops.
Except, it wiped me completely out. Like I had to stop to grab something to eat or I was going to pass out. I had to sit down for a bit when I got home to take a shower. All that made me more determined to do the following:
Keep going to the gym. I hate feeling that weak!
Make sure I eat.
Ugh!
I am hoping that I will be able to get a lot done today on the project, so I can get back to our regularly scheduled programs. Nothing would make me happier than to get back to writing. And working on that damned original fiction. I have a lot more back work to do, but it will be worth it in the end.
I also want to finish up Clocks, (I am on the last ‘fixer’ chapter!) since I am so close to going back to already worked over stuff. I just need to check it all, then let the beta know I am done with that one.
Some Sacred Place In Time Banner
I am also ready to work more on Sacred when I feel the inclination to write. I have some prereaders who will placated with the project, are still looking at me, tapping their feet and looking pointedly at their watches. I left them on a kinda cliffhanger. Not really, but they seem to think so.
I still have Best to work on and Blood’s chapter I had not been aware was out there. And I am currently reading some fanfiction in that universe. So it is getting me back in the framework. I need to write up some reviews so that when 4Padfoot’s idea is ready, we will have some stuff waiting to be used over there. Shucks, I have to reread some favorites.
All this so I can be reset back to how I was when I first started to write. Alot of work isn’t it? I prefer to write. More than anything else. Though not under the time limit I had, but I can successfully say I CAN write a story under a month. Not that I want to again, since I had to depend alot on my CB, Rissa, more than I like to. It’s not fair to her.
I don’t know if I mentioned, but Mamakitty likes to draw. I gave her my bamboo tablet, and then she got an iPad. She realized that if she just got the right pen, she can draw on it also. The first try was not so good, but I ended up with a Pen that is just like one you would use. She went on to get a Bamboo one. Well, I have been playing with mine, and found a program for writing notes. It erases the fact my hand rests on the tablet, and reacts to the sensitivity of the pen itself. You have different pen types to try, and I found that the fountain pen is the best pen for my style of writing. Which cracks me up, since I use one of them to draw on glass. But the results look like I actually wrote them.
The bad side to the program? Unlike OneNote, it doesn’t transfer to any other device. its strictly for the iPad. It will convert my handwriting to text, so I am playing with the idea of using it for more than writing my notes to myself on stuff, ideas and so on. We will see. The program is called Notes Plus. If you take notes for work and so on, it is awesome for it. Just we go back to the fact that I like to have a program if I am out and about and am stuck with an idea, I can write it in my phone and see it when I get home on my computer.
So yes, I have a crapload of stuff to do, and I am working on it. I had this project come up and it took over everything, but the hard part is done. I just need to get in gear and get the next part done. I will say having a laptop has been helping, I take it with me into the living room, bedroom and so on to work on. While it is not mine, and I really want one of my own, it works and more importantly, it connects to the internet. So I can write on it, then save, and come in here and take up from there.
What can I say, when technology works, it really is awesome.
I have to mention, Happy Birthday to our leading man, Alexander Skarsgard. The man looks better with aging! He is the same age as me (which is sad, I don’t know how old I am have the time, but I can remember his age. Seriously. That is messed up!)
Ok, I have one review that I did here: (Sorry Katfergie for not getting this done earlier!)
And I have a review for a story out there as well:
I will be posting the contest for banner of the month in the group soon. (like today or tomorrow). The theme? I have no idea… I am running out of ideas it seems when I am overwhelmed.
I will get out the chapter this week. Just give me some time, and when I need to take a break, I will look it over, add the pictures if it needs them. Then I will let you know. I also saw proof with my own little eyes, that Dying is getting close to being done with the beta.
I’m trying, so give me some time, folks. You have no idea how busy RL has been for me. Drama Island has nothing on my family lately. I cannot wait for vacation.
See my hubby’s work had a payroll blip. They didn’t pay any raises since last year starting this year. Their program for some reason rejected all the raises from last year. And when they found the mistake it wasn’t until May of this year. Now, they did correct it, and retroed the newest increases back to February as well as did a catch up pay. The only issue? For some reason while M’s paycheck got corrected, it wouldn’t pay him his past pay catch up. Ugh!
Needless to say, we needed the money, to do a lot of catch up since he had a bad month for no OT. We were managing to keep up, since we never count on the OT, but I will admit I like my staying ahead of bills much more than stressing on paying them on time. Silly, but it is how my OCD acts up. I stress over paying on time. Go figure. So we got it this past weekend, and in addition, we had some unexpected large costs that hit us out of the blue.
So grocery shopping was a must, as well as tires for the Traverse. But we also had some play money when it was all over, and I went to get a picture of an owl from Pier One (and it ended up on sale) as well as buying some jeans. Since I haven’t bought jeans in years, that was needed.
M got home, and this weekend was spent out and about, getting things that were needed, but passed over for more important things. Luckily for us, it was alot of sales. Though M was shocked at how much Arizona Jeans now cost. But we did everything we needed, shopped, and I found out, M is not to go grocery shopping with me. He gets agitated, and snaps as we go on, complaining over the items. He wants an itemized list of what we are going to get, and I put down what we absolutely need, so I don’t forget. From there, I shop the deals and so on. Like Mamakitty mentioned to my dad, she spent half of what I got and maybe got a 1/4 of the groceries. At the same store. The same time. But M gets agitated when we spend money, he has this insane idea that because we threw away pork chops one time, that we waste money. Ugh!
But as many people have, I have weaknesses in shopping. Mine I know, so I keep away from areas if possible. One is Old Navy shirts. No idea why, but I end up with at least 2-3 when I go to buy anything else. Tea, but I do use the teas I buy (Though I need to move around some canisters here soon, I have some tea that is eh in some big ones, while favorites are in smaller ones.). But my big weakness?
Shoes.
No, I am not Pam like. I do not have an eye for telling one shoe from another. I do not need my kitchen cabinets to hold my shoes. However, I love them. But I am picky. I always buy what looks good on me. Shirts are for colors. Old Navy I think is because their clothing is so soft, and I love their colors. Same thing for shoes. What I buy, I use the hell out of, but since I have so many, I keep shoes for years. And I spend the money on them to have the shoes for so long.
But again, I buy what I like. I love boots, but only low tops. I can’t stand anything covering my ankles. I also do tennis shoes, and am pretty picky on those. M watches, but he knows that I wear them, and often replace shoes when the tread is gone. Since I am known to slip as well as my terror at falling is known, it is no big deal. But I have all types of colors, brown and black for boots, same for tennis shoes, but I have light brown and dark brown in those. And I have my gym shoes. I have a blue and silver Nike tennis shoes that everyone loves. I have gotten rid of all the heeled shoes I had for work but for a pair of Black heels and a brown pair that I love and fear them breaking on me. and I have some ballet shoes.
I have a problem with my ankle and foot of the leg I broke….umm like 7 years ago, that I have to have extra thick soles in my shoes. And I am bad, I wear only flip flops during the summer. I call them my happy feet shoes since if you ever look at my tread, I have little happy faces all over the place. The soles are Yoga mats, and they are so comfy. I wear them all the time, and often have to replace them every summer, but since they get worn as long as it doesn’t rain or snow even in the winter, they are more than worth it. They are my house shoes in the fall and spring.
So all this is to tell you, M took me to JCP to get jeans for himself. And then he made the mistake of taking me to the shoe section. I now have a pair of Blue leather walking shoes. Sniggers. But since they were on sale, then I had an extra 15% off, yeah. A pair of $60 shoes ended up costing me $20.
The happy thing? I lost a size in shirts. So much yeah. I guess eating 3 meals a day really does help. I also stocked up on alot of fruit to snack on. You know they make a grape that tastes like Cotton Candy? Yep. And it’s soooo good. AS well as I got blackberries, Blueberries, White Peaches, Envy apples and dried apricots. And we have meals. Thank god. There is only so much you can do with nothing.
However, this week is packed with me dealing with people. Today a hair cut, so needed! Tomorrow is the tires, Wednesday the guy coming to price out a new AC unit and all the stuff to go with it. Thursday is watching my nephews all day. By Friday I am going to be worn out. At least that is the thought.
The truth?
I am already bone tired. See, I am an introvert. I need days off from the family being around on the weekends. So to have me out and about, every single day, (Though Connor was thrilled yesterday to be taken to PetCo and Stormy is officially a female as of Friday’s visit with the vet) had me so tired I went to bed at 7:30 last night. And still exhausted as I am typing this up. As well as I am stressing out on a project I am doing. I am to the point of dropping everything to finish it, and am anxious. It was supposed to be done by the 15th by my timeline I had worked out. Instead I am still working on it. Oi Vey.
Yes, I have triggers. I hate waiting to the last minute to do things. Ironically, if it is pass due, I will procrastinate worse. So it made me to the point I try to do things early. Like pay bills, finish assignments early. In fact, my last boss that was awesome learned this and never gave me time limits on things if she could help it. Cause if I am having one, things are piled up on her as I finish them. But if there was none, she got things in a way she could handle them. win win.
It is why M took me out this weekend to get things done, knowing I would worry over them. I stressed over not having gone grocery shopping on Sunday. I am so bad. I know it, and I can’t seem to help it.While I am relaxed on so many things, there are the little things that can get me worked up. And it will build up for a long time, needing me to leave everything behind. Like Going to Tucson this year. I am not to edit, and I am not to PLAN anything to be done during the time. I am just to go with the flow, and relax. Connor goes with us, since I will fret with him gone. We will be with M’s family. And his Aunt and mom are very calming with me. They make sure I don’t make up a schedule on the split second, telling me there are no time limits and such.
They leave me alone to write or read. They let me know if they are going to the stores and so on, but not pushy. At the same time, his mom tells M to chill out. I dont’ stress on bad things, and having things paid ahead of the time is not a bad thing. And that most of my triggers as she named them, are things that are for a reason. That most things that would stress out other people are nothing to me. Mine are manageable for the most part by myself.
It is needed by both of us to be reminded about it.
I know this is a long post, but so many things came to a head this weekend, that I thought, maybe there are others that have the same issues. That have triggers that stress them out that others may think are odd, or who knows? It is normal. It is fine. You excel in other areas.
Everyone is unique.
My shoe fetish is shared by others. My worry about paying bills ahead of time is fine. Especially since the alternative is bad. My habits are not unique. On the other hand, I handle emergencies better than others, I can think outside the box easily (to the point my mom is adamant that there was never a box for me to acknowledge). I can do many things except when they hit a trigger, then I start my worrying. I am very much my own person.
Ok.. Enough on that.
This week, there will be an update of LOTR. The bad news? It is the last chapter I have written. Yes, I know I need to write, but there are other commitments I am dealing with. (see above!)
I plan (loosely again see above) to write when I am in AZ. I heard your opinion, and since I wrote AIW in AZ, I plan to write the next one also. I am also planning to write here as soon as I get through the present assignment. But…Editing what I have comes first, then working on the original novel. I need to go back and fill out bio’s and so forth to get back in the flow of things. I hate when I have twins and I can’t remember who did what. Ugh.
I am trying to clear the backlog so that I can get back to normal. I know the trip to AZ will set me back some, but hopefully it will allow me to write ahead, so that I am ahead of what you are reading.
There was an interview on Friday on Poca that you can find below:
As well as my story for this week:
I have an interview with the author following this. I also have 196 emails I am trying to get caught up on. Since… I got the iPad back finally! Sadly, since Friday when I got the protectors on it, I have had zero time to read. Ugh!
So I will be around, the chat room will be active when I am online. Yes, I write and chat at the same time. If it gets too much, I tell people, and then do what I need to. Right now, I need to wrap this up so when my hairdresser calls, I can boogie my but over there and get those silver strands covered up along with my bangs cut. I can’t wait for it to be cooler so I can do more than put it up. This style she has me in is awesome but I still have too much hair to let it cover the back of my neck. I spend the summer with it up, since also humidity doesn’t allow it to hold the curl either.
So I will see you tomorrow, sometime. Since I have that tire appointment and it will take awhile.
Yes, you read it, there is an actual chapter hidden in all my musing this time!!!!
:Snickers: I am also taking time so the wonderful 4Padfoot has time to do her magic wand waiving. Seriously, she has a Sirius Black wand. I am so jealous.
Ok. So what the heck is going on Kittyinaz? You are a day late in posting your weekly updates. Though the chapter is nice…
Nice of you to ask! Yesterday I baby sat my nephews. It was…interesting. LOL The youngest is in the terrible 2’s and pushing to see how much Aunt Kittyinaz will allow. He didn’t win, of course. I had excellent practice in one of my cousins when she was a baby. It was funny to watch, his brother even telling him to do what I said since he couldn’t watch Jake the Neverland Pirate until Nephew 2 did as I said.
Also, to add to the fun, I went to bed at 9 on Sunday, and woke up at 12:30 am Monday morning. And never went back to sleep. Brother 1 told Brother 2 that it was too bad, but he was tired so it was nap time so Aunt Kittyinaz could sleep. Nephew 2 decided that as long as I set a timer for 40 minutes, and he could get out of bed after that, he would do it. He had no idea what 40 minutes was, but I was all for that one!
I ended up taking 3 melatonin last night to get to sleep 8 hours. Thank god!
I am also trying to do something, that I am occupied otherwise. I can’t tell you what, but you should see in about 2-3 months. Until then, I have only a few more days to keep to schedule, then pushing for another part and then I can finish.
So to say the least, I will be doing that this month, but the betas are trying to catch up with the work I have already sent them. I have up to Chapter 4 done for them on Clocks, Game of Life has a Beta, the last written chapter of LOTR is done and will be posted on time next week. What If Beta is trying to get online, but the site is not being nice. Dying to Start again is being worked on by the beta between busy schedules. I think that is the schedule right now. Remember it is Summer, and it is a hard time to work on stuff when you have the kiddos at home. I know it is frustrating to wait for updates, but I rather them not feel pressured and work as they can, than try to find awesome betas. They are a little hard to find.
The chat page seems to be a huge hit. I usually sit on there when I am writing. But the issue is, I am writing. If I am lost in a scene, then it may take a little bit for me to register what is going on. I have Facebook open all the time, as well as the Chat page. In addition to that, I watch for my betas, and they get priority first. Since you like your chapters, I make sure I answer questions from them first.
We also have a new beta!!! It will take a bit to see work from her, we are working with her to get her used to our way of working. So far, she is freaking awesome. I don’t think she realizes the pluses yet, she is too busy trying to load programs to help out. She is an editor and Journalist, so I look forward to seeing what she has to say. Also nervous, but you are always nervous when you do anything new. If you see her in the Facebook Group or online in the chat room, please say hi! Once we are on a roll, we will update what she is betaing for. She is on the Home Page in the Beta section also. Remember, that the betas on the page that have their own websites have links there also. They are an awesome bunch of writers on their own, so please take a look at it if you are bored!
Pets: Since you guys ask about them, they are doing great! Connor is loving that he gets to play in water every day. We have to water the AC unit since it is freezing up. Connor thinks the evil water is attacking the AC so he tries to save it. ::Snickers:: Murphy does his part, but he dries sooo much faster than Connor. Also Connor is a Golden, a breed that adores water. So when he comes in, he is not kinda wet, he is soaked. Stormy, is still officially an it. Her next Vet visit is.. Friday I think. I will be seeing if they can guess also. She is still trying to cuddle when I am typing. If you chat, expect to see messages from her. We are trying to teach her to not walk on the keyboard, but it is an uphill fight.
Other than that, we are counting down to The day before Thanksgiving, when I will be leaving TX for AZ. My hubby comes back that Sunday, but I will be there with Connor. Then I go into writing when I want, and last time I wrote AIW. I am going to try again to write the sequel and as many others as I can.
I still need to work on the original Fiction. Ugh this is not easy, since I am trying to make sure I do not make errors later. So bear with me, while I try to fix stuff. Thank god for One Note is all I can say to keep people straight now!
This week on Non-Canon Awards, I focused on:
It’s only on Fanfiction, sorry, but I hope it is working now! Her interview will be later this week! Don’t forget to subscribe to the site!
Ok, the chapter for today is:
You get to meet Bella’s real dad, and the reason she is now in Middle Earth. I so want to write more on this fic. There is one more chapter left written, but this one is done in my head. Too bad I don’t have a way to just send it all to paper already! (Without typing obviously!) Many thanks to the awesome beta for this story:
Lorelei.im
If I get another update in time for normal posting, I will let you guys know!
I have been missing…but there are hints of chapters being beta’d by multiple betas….
I know, we have been talking about a chatroom and so on. I am here to tell you, it works! to go to it, click on the link: Kittyinaz’s Chat Room. There are ways to private message and so forth on it. I cannot promise to sit on it 24/7 but when I am online, I will try to be on it. But it will only be when I am on my desktop. The facebook group Kittyinaz’s is where I am more likely to be found and has all the teasers of where I am in stories.
Also, earlier today, I had one of my Interviews post on the Non-Canon Awards! It’s for the Queen of Area Five. Click on the banner below to be taken to it.
I have to apologize. I have been dealing with my insomnia, and it got too much this week. I am trying to work, and probably will be working this weekend. I also still have no iPad. The guy fixed it and a corner lifted, he took it back and fixed that spot, only to have the screen to crack on him. He had another on order, and due to my hubby seeing the possessed iPad act, took it to him, saying I cannot use it now. So cross fingers. I want my iPad back!!!
And it is worse, since I already spent a stupid day in bed thanks to the dang insomnia and my body fighting. I don’t like it when they fight. I seem to be the one suffering when it happens funny enough. Stupid both of them. They just need to get along! And let me go back to sleep when I wake up. :grumbles:
If you haven’t read either The Bespoke Witch or Casting the Stake, which is an AU of The Bespoke Witch with the Weasley’s casting their stake instead of the Malfoys. You are missing some awesome treats!!! Yes it is Harry Potter, but it is so freaking awesome you will be blown away!!! Our very own 4Padfoot set up glittergrrrl05’s website which you will be taken to when clicking on the banner she made of the fic.
LJ Summers is the author of Casting the Stake, which I adore this woman anyways. She and I spoke every night throughout this fic being written, with me being ordered to bed often. LOL! Go read and enjoy! Tell them both I sent you!
Another author to be reading if you like Crossovers, The Darkest Falling Star has done a Twilight/Hobbit with Bella/Legolas. It may sounds odd to start that far back, but let me tell you, there is a reason. I hungrily read any update even if it is on my hated iPhone. (the screen is sooo tiny and my battery drains. I am looking forward to finally using my upgrade to get another one!). Click on the banner and leave her some reviews! This story is freaking awesome!
I will tell you I am also seeing snippets of the site 4Padfoot is putting together for the information I put together in my database as well as others who are helping me now of my favorites. All I can say is wow. Seriously…wow. She is amazing, to take an idea and make it reality.
So I am off to make her and my other pre-reader Royal Ember (Who updated her story that I made a banner for, which is amazingly, has sneaked it’s way into this post!) happy and write some chapters on a story. I can’t tell you more than that, cause it is a shhhh type. I will tell you later on it. I promise!
So go read some awesome stories, stop by and say hi. Me? I am going to sit here and pout while I fight to be able to write a story somehow. I may be borrowing a laptop soon.
Yeah, sorry this is late. I had an interesting week.
I upgraded to Windows 10. I have multiple screens, and I had issues with it, and felt very stupid when all it needed was another restart. So my mom, who had set me up to be the guinea pig, decided to upgrade her Windows 7 to 10. (I had 8.1). Yeah, while I spent an hour and a half waiting for the upgrade to load, then spent an hour working through the options (which I fell in love with Cortana) my mom had so many more issues. We were up to 12:30 getting her to work. Let me tell you, restart, restart, restart!!!!
No nightmares on anyone else, everything works sooo much better, but the issues we had were because of the multiple screens. Nothing to help it, just do as I say and restart until the other screen pops up right. Then restart one more time if you use Google. (after you set google to be your browser.) Edge is not so bad, but it uses Bing, and I am not a Bing fan. But for everything else? OMG. It recognizes the Bose speakers finally and the sound is phenomenal! I don’t have Photoshop crashing when I try to resize stuff and other issues.
Then came Friday. I spent the entire day with Grandma, walking everywhere, as we shopped. Normally not a big deal for me, but I think it was a combination of heat (it was 102 once per my Traverse!) which means the Heat index was high. I spent the whole day chugging drinks like you wouldn’t believe, and still got a heat headache. I hate humidity. By the end of the day, we were taken to Dinner, and then I went home and took Aleve, as well as gulping more liquids.
Saturday was a pool party at my aunts house, and M saw me limping badly when I woke up and told me to chill out. I am not kidding you, no matter how I stretched it out, I had what felt like a live wire going from the top of my right leg all the way down. And no way to freaking relax it!! I even went with my mom, after making Angel Lush for the pool party, to Apple to exchange her iPad for a bigger memory one. (Yeah, I am like that. But I couldn’t sit very long without it hurting more.) By the time that was all done, it was late and everyone in my family called off going. M was going bowling, Dad was so tired from working OT in the heat and MamaKitty was tired, headache from the heat as well needing to start her upload of her new iPad.
I didn’t get any sleep until like 8 am the following morning. Needless to say, I spent alot of yesterday resting. And today only had a headache. That I can feel. (I have a high pain tolerance, if I fall asleep, whatever bothered me is often not felt by me the following day. not all the time, but enough that it is a relief!) Unfortunately, this has a bad side effect. See, I get sick if I am stressed. Not stressed mentally (though that can count towards it). If my body is hurting, it causes stress and I get sick. Wonderful aint it? Not really. It doesn’t help with that pain tolerance since often I know i am in pain by getting sick though I don’t feel it.
Why am I telling you all this? Cause I feel guilty.
I have been slacking on working this past week (to me) though I finished a chapter a night for a not-able-to-tell-you reason, and worked on a chapter of Clocks, as well as dealing with all the computer issues and so on. This is slacking to me. I haven’t been online to talk to the group as much nor have I been able to do much in fact. Have I ever mentioned I hate summer also?!?!!?
As I mentioned on a post in Facebook, the cold never bothered me anyways fits me. Seriously, I have a ceiling fan, a desktop fan and a fan for the CPU/slash my feet. Yes, the dogs fight for the spot by my feet for the nice cool fan. And often I am still hot. ugh
I am on my last week of taking Grandma to PT, then I will be back to working all week long. And back to the gym I am hoping, since I haven’t been able to go while I did all this. Though I will be gone for the thursdays this week, taking care of my nephews.. Such a hard life. LMAO!!!
This is why I am not worried about my betas, since summer is a very hard time for them to work. They often have children they are taking care of, or other obligations. Vacations and so on. When they can get to stuff, they are all very good about it. And I have been checking in with them.
4Padfoot has come back!! And she has been a powerhouse while she has been back. She fixed my attempt at the Awards page, and told me not bad. If we forgot an award, please let us know. We Have them divided into two categories: Awards by the site(year) and Awards by Story. It is taking advantage of the neat stuff this theme can handle, and uses some graphics and such. Easy all in all, but it was to have me to learn my theme some. By me… lol. It is located on the Other Goodies page under awards. Or you can just click above to be taken to the new page.
She has also listened to you guys, and has made a Site Map for those unable to find features they had in the past. (They are all there!) This can be found up top after the posts. Click on the pic above showing you where it is to be taken to it. This is NOT graphics heavy at all, and is an alternative to tablet users and so on. I will remind you though. There are items that are Password Protected on purpose. Only those that are approved to read those stories will be allowed.
I also did an Author Interview on Friday:
And the story review was on Queen of Area Five’s Lifting the Veil. There will be an author interview out this Friday, so please be looking for that.
I will be getting together the prompt for this month here as soon as I can. Life has certainly been busy!!! I am also gong back to working, since I got this out now. I am looking forward to when I can be posting those chapters you guys are looking for. OH YEAH!!!
The results:
And for the Others: I Never Did: 3; When I Pretend: 2; What If: 1; Blood Of Innocence: 1; In The End: 2. One write in was just W, and one of the previous had 2 write ins.
I am completely shocked that All I Want won. You’re came up from behind, it was originally behind Edge. But I see and I will be working on AIW as soon as I get a free moment. Hopefully after the novel since I will be freer after then. Or in Tucson.
Hopefully a freak cold front comes in and I will get REALLY inspired as usual and get cracking. Until then, I will deal with a kitten you can’t give tuna to. Seriously. M gave her whatever was left on his draining thingie from the tuna cans, and she was racing up and down the house, taking the longest routes, running up the couch and back, over the dining room table and.. well you get the idea. She did 2 laps in a minute. And we have a long house. She just woke up, so I am anticipating the jumping and so on. She already has shut the laptop lid from where I am getting ready to do the Windows 10 Upgrade. Hopefully it fixes the issue with it. Besides it being old. Still eligible for Photoshop, but old… (Yes I am hoping for another one… before the trip to Tucson.)
And this has been a weird past week for me. If the above picture doesn’t hint it. There are days I want to take up scorpion petting and some of them happened this week.
I try to work as much as possible, but I do have to take time out for RL, since I am off to take my Grandma to her appointments. Amazing how disruptive it is to take her for an hour to PT, but it really is somehow. I don’t feel like doing anything before hand, and then by the time I come home, the house is getting hot and M is home. So I been feeling like I have been falling behind and I hate it.
I have done more reviews and interviews on the Non-Canon Awards, so I am getting ahead on that, TG! I am cheating, when I read an update, I try to review the story. Notice I say try. There are going to be a couple deterrents on that soon.
See, I do ALOT on my iPad. But a year ago, the screen was broken due to the carelessness of a security guard in our wonderful justice system when I reported for jury duty. M has a friend who is starting with replacing screens as a side job, and has agreed to do mine. Yeah!!! No more broken screen! But the bad side? It will be gone for a couple days. Do you know how many updates and so on I get in a day? Many!!! I also answer people on my time off, even though I am not supposed to, but if an urgent matter comes across the screen, I try to deal with it.
Hello, my name is Kittyinaz, and I am a Workaholic! Always have been, I used to be really bad when I worked in the workplace. No one really knows how many hours I worked on my own time and money. But I feel guilty, that I am doing nothing and am bored when I have such interesting things to do! (and there is your earwig for today)
You know that whole saying, if you love what you do, its not really work? Yeah. I have been lucky n the last decade and a half to have jobs like that. Now I am writing, and I cannot love it more. I just need to get to the money making side soon!
Basically, if you do anything when my iPad is gone, even review, well it is easier to like and answer on that thing than on the on the computer. So it will be a little bit depending on when M takes it in, and when I get it back. I expect to have lots of red notifications when I get it back, and that is going to drive me nuts!!!
Ok… To the fun stuff.
The poll ends at the end of the month, which is this week! And since I could not seem to limit it anymore, you can revote this week for your favorite. To keep the poll active and easy to find, here it is:

I finished another chapter of Clocks, and am working on some character banners to fill in the blanks for you guys. I’m also going to work with 4Padfoot about a new character page to let you guys know what is going on easier. As in who is who and related to whom. Since bloodlines are so important not only in this one but IND, I needed to make sure they are easy to understand. I have a bloodline thingie in my notes, so you guys should have one.. if it is feasible.
OK, time to get to other stuff! See you guys later this week hopefully! Just remember, not only do you guys have RL, so do my betas and I. And RL comes before this stuff. Always.
It truly is amazing the stuff you can find on the internet. I searched Alexander Skarsgard leprechaun and the picture above is what popped up. I think it is fitting for today. Sorry I missed posting last week, but Daylight Savings in the USA screwed me up. Losing one hour completely wrecked my week. I…
Can someone please explain to me why I am seeing more snow in March than I did in the entire months of December and January???? I should be getting ready for spring, not worrying about shoveling 8 inches of snow. The only way snow in March is acceptable is if it this is part of…
Hello lovelies. I cannot guarantee I will be back to publishing weekly, but I will try. My dear beta, kleannhouse, is in high demand trying to juggle the stories of three writers. She is amazing and she makes me laugh with all of her comments on my stories. This one especially. I started this story…
