What is going on?

Well, I am trying to get used to having the house, as well as the work we are putting into it.

M and I talk about each and everything.  Mainly I am the idea person, I tell him what I want, and he makes it happen.  Or tells me I am off my rocker.

Or tells me I am off my rocker.

Either way, it is more than our old ways of just doing to keep up stuff.  With it being ours, we are making changes, trimming up things and even talking about how to mow the grass.  To the EXCELLENT recommendation for the Troy Built Mower, thanks.  It took awhile to convince him, but he is much happier with it than the one he wanted.

Yes, we both have mowed grass.  I even did it with a riding one when I was younger.  But we have LOTS of little things that we need to watch for, trees, stumps and so on.  We are also trying to reclaim some of our yard back from when the yard people neglected it.  I also severely cut back one rose bush, while we look at the other climbing one trying to figure out what the heck happened with it.  Gone nuts is the least of it.

Then there is the keeping up the house as well as buying the stuff to redo the office.

It’s busy, but we want to get as much as we can done now, while it is cool, so that we can maintain when it is hotter.  And do the things inside the house.

What this means is that time management has been failing me, however, the muse is loving all this work.

I am writing on You’re sequel and Edge.  In fact, I am taking a break to get my mind in gear before I write a new chapter of Edge.

Other stories have been getting chapters as well as we work.  My laptop is for writing only since I am comfy, as well as this allow me in the living room in the evenings when we come in from whatever we did that day.

Plus it seems to like to rain here.  I don’t mind as long as the weather stays in the 60’s.  Since that seems to be our ‘winter’.  But tomorrow is supposed to be in the 80’s and it rained heavily today, so that will mean humidity.  I think I will be cleaning inside tomorrow.

But I wanted to let you know that I am still alive and that the muse is busy.  While she is willing to work with me, I am trying to write as much as possible.  Which means not as much work for the betas.  We will see if life gets into a groove we can work with.

Off to write.

And for those who are members of the Group, there is another chapter of You’re’s sequel teased out.

(the great thing about being home alone is that I can have headphones on and sing whenever I like…)

I am just now sitting down to my computer in the office for the first time since we signed the papers for the house.  You know, the room that I do most of my work in.

The Laptop is awesome for writing, but not for editing.  Though it has transferred a lot of my words and names from the desktop, there are still some arguments that we have.  And Grammarly is NOT on the laptop.  So while I can write away on that one, it’s not yet set up for editing.  When I need it to be, it will be.  Right now, I want it to be for writing and playing games.

So for the house.  We are looking into a few things, but soon should be moving the office furniture out of this room, and getting ready to rip it apart.  I am looking forward to not freezing my feet in the winter (when it is actually cold) or wearing nothing to keep cool.   Pier Beam houses are awesome for flood areas but suck on insulation for the old ones.  But we are going to fix that, and save us some money by spending it. Seems to be an ongoing theme lately.  <sighs>

But I am here, I will see what I can edit, in between working through the piles of paper on my desk.  Seriously, every single sheet of paper since the closing was laying on my desk, along with anything M found when he was looking for something else.  Like all the Flex account stuff, the statements, and the actual closing papers.   No wonder he shied away from me going into the office when he was home!!!

So we will see what all I can send off to the Betas.  I will tell you for those of you who are Tea Shoppers, the new beta has done chapters far in advance of where I stopped.  And for those that have been with me as Alice fans, I am writing new stuff.  When I have time!

See ya later, off to work and clear my desk!!
