False Prophets?

I can’t be the only one getting these emails, but no one else has mentioned them yet. Every blessed morning, I get at least one or two messages from representatives of Publishing Houses or Literary Agents. All promising to successfully market one or another of my books. These emails are long, well-written, and sincere. Full…

Unfinished Business…

I have finally found something to say that makes sense of the state of my head. I have been hovering over so many things lately, constantly wondering why I never seem to get around to finishing anything. My first thought was whatever it was wasn’t good enough. Not worth finishing. Then came all the excuses……

New Week, New problem…
As the head cook and bottle washer in our house, I get some weird requests sometimes. Anything from how I chop the carrots up, to ‘why don’t we have sweetcorn any more?’ This last request really confused me. ‘Can we have smaller meals please?’ None of us are the size we want to be, so…

Finding out the Hard way…

I have been quiet this week, trying to come to terms with the latest developments. First, though, I had to get over the colossal disapointment that I wasn’t fit enough. I have been exercising regularly every day since last March. Have I been wasting my time, was the set routine just not good enough, or…

Didn’t see that coming! The long-awaited appointment to check out these awful headaches and earaches finally arrived, but I wasn’t ready for what happened next.

I remember feeling a little apprehensive about my next hospital appointment. I have learned to work through the pain these days, so most of the time I…

One of the worst days…

Yesterday began like most days. I awoke in agony, triggering a mini bout of depression, wondering when I would get the next blessed hospital appointment that I was waiting for. The latest bulletin was ‘sometime in December/January’. This seems like an awful long time to wait, but then I have been in pain since before…

The writing on the Wall…

“The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor WitShall lure it back to cancel half a Line,Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.” This post was inspired by Omar Khayam and is about the way my life, and just everything else, it seems, has changed lately. I…

Another Day from Hell…

Yesterday turned out to be a nightmare. From the moment I staggered across the office to my Windows PC, everything I touched went wrong, failed to load, or couldn’t be found. I am not a lover of technology, but as long as it does what it says on the tin, I can usually cope well…
