Two days...the gap is gapping.

Wednesday, October 27, 2010 - It was a calm day at the start. Worked on my novel. Did not hear back from the publisher. Got the trash together and Kent got Halloween colored (orange and purple) lights strung up outside. Talked to a nice friend on Yahoo. Got a message from Jonathan that he wanted to talk so we talked last night. Started out good ended on a sour note.

Thursday, October 28, 2010 - Got another message from Jonathan this morning. Wanting to talk this evening. Will be working on my novel most of the day. That's the plan for today. We'll see how the "talk" goes tonight.

Tuesday, October 26, 2010

Gee, imagine this, no big gap in posting. lol.

Did a follow up note with the publisher yesterday (October 25) that I have a novel out to for consideration. Haven't heard anything back yet (not that I expected to). Spent a lot of time working on the next entry into the series. One in print (Snow Flower), one at the publisher for consideration, and the one I'm working on. I have several more ideas for that series as well.

Jonathan and I are no longer speaking to each other. It was a hard decision to make but I made it. Heather and I went to Blacklick Park for fresh air and "blowing out of cobweb" time. It did improve my attitude. Live and learn. All is well today.

We are supposed to be in a severe storm watch as I type. They say winds of 50-60 miles per hour are possible. I can believe that. The wind is howling around the trailer and shaking the skirting. Just hope that big, old, leaning pine behind us doesn't decide to "drop" in.

Here I go again. Sorry to be so slow.

Tuesday, October 19, 2010 - Finished up my laundry. Worked on my novel. Talked with Jonathan for a couple of hours.

Wednesday, October 20, 2010 - Gathered up the trash for pick up tomorrow. Swept the kitchen floor. Went to the bank, had lunch, then went to Consumer Credit Couciling. Talked with Jonathan in the evening for 3 hours.

Friday, October 22, 2010 - Worked on my novel for the majority of the day. I talked with Jonathan for half an hour.

Saturday, October 23, 2010 - Made the bed, which I do every day, watered the plants, did dishes, paid 3 bills, and worked on my novel. Jonathan and I talked for an hour.

Tuesday, October 19, 2010

I know.

October 13, 2010 -Wednesday

Dyed my hair auburn with Heather's help. She did all the work. I just sat there. Well it turns out that I have "stubborn hair". I am now a hot redhead...lol. We went walking the paths at Pickerington Ponds State Park. Then we went to WalMart. I was pooped so Kent went in by himself. Then he took us out to dinner at TX Roadhouse. We got the trash out on time. Chatted with Jonathan.

October 14, 2010 - Thursday

Worked on my novel most of the day. Submitted a poem. It was a pretty quiet day. Chatted with Jonathan.

October 15, 2010 - Friday

Worked on my novel. Talked to Jesse. I haven't felt up to par the past day or so. It's lack of rest and all the activity I had the week before walking the parks. We have three parks left then we will have been to all the local metro parks. Chatting late into the night with Jonathan isn't helping with the getting rest...lol.

October 16, 2010 - Saturday

Worked on my novel. Took a long nap. We went to GFS to buy our meats for the month.

October 17, 2010 - Sunday

Worked on my novel. I know this sounds boring but I am on a roll with this one and want to keep going with it before the brick wall of writer's block hits me. Chatted with Jonathan, nothing new.

October 18, 2010 - Monday

Did some laundry. Worked on my novel. We ran some errands: the bank, Gander Mountain to get Heather some shoes, Walmart, then McDonald's for dinner. Chatted with Jonathan...lol. I sent a follow up note to the publisher that supposedly is thinking about the novel I submitted to them.

Tuesday, October 12, 2010

Dang! I'm really behind!

Sunday, October 3, 2010 - Went over to John and Leigh Ann's to see Brian and help to celebrate Jim and Jared's birthdays. We were invited for dinner. Had a really good time.

Monday, October 4, 2010 - Went to meet a school friend that was in town for a vendor fair. He's from Fostoria, Ohio and we visited for about an hour. It was nice to see him. We've been talking on facebook for several months. The next time he comes to town he says he'll bring his companion so I can meet her. Worked on my novel the rest of the day.

Tuesday, October 5, 2010 - Worked on my novel and talked to Dana (my insurance wellness nurse). She was checking in to see if I was still sticking to my game plan.

Wednesday, October 6, 2010 - Worked on my novel and made a rhubarb pie (store bought so I just tossed it into the oven). Got the trash together so it could be taken to the curb.

Thursday, October 7, 2010 - Talked to Michelle for an hour. Talked to Jesse for a few minutes. Worked on my novel. Did some housework.

Friday, October 8, 2010 - Had blood drawn for my RNR (couminin level), then we walked through the Polaris Mall, then went to Krogers for a little shopping. Worked on my novel when we got home.

Saturday, October 9, 2010 - Worked on my novel and goofed off.

Sunday, October 10, 2010 - We went to Slate Run Metro Park to see the working farm. When we got home I became friend's with a guy named Jonathan. Heather, Kent, and I are planning to go to Clear Creek Metro Park tomorrow and I made pasta salad to take with us.

Monday, October 11, 2010 - Clear Creek Park is very rugged terrain. I did manage to climb up a steep hill (with help from Heather) to see a lake that was there. Lake Ramona was my reward. Getting off the hill was a challenge but with Heather's help and a ton of help from Kent we made it down in one piece. Worked on my novel and a new project. Talked to Jonathan for three hours on Yahoo.

Tuesday, October 12, 2010 - Resting today and working on my novel.

Saturday, October 2, 2010

Guess who and guess what? Yep, me and catching up again.

Tuesday - September 27, 2010

Worked on my novel most of the day. I was supposed to hear from a publisher about another novel that I queried them about publishing over 12 weeks ago. Have not heard a peep...hopefully I'll hear soon. I will give them a week then do a followup with them.

Wednesday - September 28, 2010

Worked on my novel. Got the trash together. We had a late night dinner with Chip and Margaret at the Cracker Barrel. Kent treated Heather and I.

Thursday - September 29, 2010

Worked on my novel (I'm really in a grove with this particular one and am loathe to stop) and looked at a few job postings.

Friday - October 1, 2010

Worked on my novel. Went to Blacklick Metro park to bow off some steam. It was a nice cool, breezy, afternoon and so nice to be out of the house without any distraction. Just Heather and I went, Kent opted to stay home. We had a late dinner then watched the DVD of the recent version of "Fame".

Saturday - October 2, 2010

Heather's on her way to a confest in Michigan. She and a friend are driving up and will be spending the night with friends. Kent and I are kicking around here. Last week was a little more stressful than I like, so I'm taking today and most of tomorrow chilling out. I'll do my laundry and some housecleaning to keep me otherwise occupied. Kent and I will have another at home movie night tonight. Not sure what we'll be seeing.
