Sunday Morning Thread

[carsonshepherd]

So it's Sunday. Check in here.

Things pretty good here. Got some health issues resolved and some drama ironed out with life... the boss is on vacation for the next week so work will be a breeze... the SO is improving daily after stopping drinking and getting a new, non-stressful job. My garden is great, I just picked my first crop of radishes yesterday.

My novel has picked up a bit more, after a two-week slump. I'm feeling pretty good about the direction it's going in now that I'm about at the halfway point.

How's everyone else?

Today is my 6th wedding anniversary and my husband has to pull a 12-hour at work. But, thanks to some people around here, I think I know what festivities to greet him with when he comes home. Now, it's just a matter of waiting . . .

 

[carsonshepherd]

Happy Anniversary! 6 years, congratulations.

Drying out after a week of excesses I have a mountain of work to do before going back to work tomorrow, but I'm not sure if I can be bothered. Things are winding down nicely for the summer break, and I'll have a lot more free time at work to do what I need to do.

I've started a new novel. It was an experiment. I just sat down and wrote without planning or preparing, and it turned out to give me the most enjoyment I've had writing something in a long time. Maybe this is the way forward

My sick dog is all better.
My job is iffy right now.
I have a mountain of paperwork I need to get done today because I have put it off all week.
I'm having breakfast with my mother and granny.


I'm falling in love with a wonderful man... (no emotican can do that justice)

it's worked for me, to the tune of 54k + words already. very good way to shake loose the cobwebs. good luck!

You wacky gringos. Opening a Sunday Morning thread at 3 in the afternoon.

Busy day here. You would think that Sundy was the day for resting and pious activities. But this is the 21st century, baby. Deadlines don't wait.

My kids are being fairly well-behaved so far this summer.
I'm going on vacation in just over three weeks (without children- hooray!).
My relationship with my other is going very well, and I'm beginning to not be quite as nervous about our upcoming meeting.
I'm not really writing like I want to, but I did manage to write a bit yesterday, so I have some hope there.
I've been cleaning and sorting and organizing for three days, and now I'm tired of it even though I'm not done.

My life seems very boring now, after writing this post.

So start one of your own earlier, and it'll still be Saturday here so we'll talk about you wacky Swedes.

boring is okay, because it means no major upheaval. But, i realize some people thrive on drama... just because i'm allergic to it doesn't mean everyone feels the same.

I'm not one of those. I like boring. Glad to hear I'm not the only who appreciates it.

A fresh pot of coffee tastes better on a Sunday morning than on a workday, so I've been indulging as I listen to Car Talk.

On Friday, I had broadband installed, so today I'm gleefully running around the internet changing my email in preparation for cancelling my DSL and getting rid of my home phone.

My houseplants are awaiting their weekly watering and some are anticipating re-potting today.

My new job is sending me on a trip to India, and I'm trying to find a doctor to do the immunizations so my insurance will cover it. Travel clinics don't take insurance. WTF?

My car needs a new driver's side window regulator and a new windshield. The problem with the flickering oil light was fixed by changing the grade of oil.

My ex...well, he's still an ex, but our pattern holds: when I step back, he steps forward. This time, I recognize it and know that if I step forward, he'll step back. So nothing.

I seem to be annoying people on the AH with my posts, so I'm staying away.

You have never annoyed me. In fact, I think you're quite wonderful.

[English Lady]

Yup, I love you to Lady J, your posts always make me smile and often lift my heart



today? started out good, wrote a review on the Rob Thomas Album, and got some very good feedback, especially from one guy I was particularly happy to get good feedback from *wg*

Finished off some editing, started on my next story, fucked the husband (I look good with a cock! ) then Beth came home so went into Mummy mode, cooked a yummy tea and put Beth to bed soon after.

Eating pringles dippers with a home made virtually fat free dip made from Quark and fresh herbs and black pepper..it's yum!

I'm being trememdously boring.

The day is pretty much sedate. Mowed some grass (not much though), burnt some papers, played Madden.

Been thinking too much, though. Can feel a withdrawn, insecure period coming on, if I haven't already started into it. I'm not social to begin with (in RL -- In chat I can't seem to shut up and here I'm often posting); being more withdrawn isn't going to help things.

The Ex is still the ex, and will remain the ex, though her since me married infatuation at work was fired this week. Damn... I feel so bad for them both .

It's really, really, sad.

Honestly, I might cry...

It's a little after 5:30 now, rained quite a bit, was pissed off to travel 20 minutes from home to an Albertson's for $4.99/lb. crab just to find out that they didn't have any. A rain check is little consolation when you're having crab withdrawal ... Anyway, after a bit of minor drama with one of the cars not starting yesterday (corroded battery terminal), all is well.

Now, I'm eating dry roasted sunflower seeds, having a glass of wine, watching Fat Albert with my hubby and daughter and surfing the web/writing. A beautiful day in my neighborhood.

Hope everyone is enjoying the same!
