Ducks: Queen of Frickin' Everything

Hello strangers! All like, five of you who read this journal. *G* I've been entangled in the throes of a writing frenzy, and everything else sort of fell by the wayside. Which is a good thing on one hand (I have three projects going! Finally! After a year of writing nothing at all!), but on the other, I haven't been exercising or watching my nutrition nearly as closely as I should be. Luckily, I haven't gained any weight, but starting today I'm back on my plan. Setting smaller goals and working my way back up to where I was.

It's funny how much energy a newer, fitter lifestyle takes for me. Actually, I tend to be very much the tunnel-vision girl when it comes to any major project. When I write, I write. When I got my new kitty friends, they were my complete focus. I need to learn to balance all the things I have going on in my life.

Speaking of my kitties, who are awesome, Charlotte, the mommy, just got fixed a week ago. I don't remember Miss Scarlett being such a pain to keep calm and quiet when she was spayed! The first couple of days weren't too bad, because we had dope to give her, and we mostly kept her down here while the Wee Demon was upstairs. But after her head cleared a bit, OH. MY. GODDESS. It was like, "No, Charlotte! Stop that, Charlotte! Get down from there, Charlotte! No wrestling, Charlotte!" I seem to remember that cats are supposed to calm down after they get spayed, aren't they? Well, before this head wave hit (and the two of them flop down on the floor and stay there all day like a couple of rag dolls), she was twice as hyper as usual! Elsie goes to get hers at the beginning of September. I don't think she can BE twice as hyper. If she does, I think she'll just explode. Of course, for her, we're going to have to keep the cone on for the full two weeks, while Mom got to get rid of it after a couple of days.

Kitties!

Other than that, I've really been putting my nose to the grindstone on The Human Condition, which ended up being my next project. I'm taking my time with the outlining and tagging this time, so I can really make sure the book has everything it needs to sell. I've already got my next project sort of framed, and the one after that as well. These are strictly for print. Besides those, I want to get a few more ebooks out there, too. But I'm not going to get into specifics there until this book is actually in the writing stage.

Anyway, I hope everyone is well! Give me news!

Oh, I almost forgot! I'm not watching any TV besides soaps at all. I've been watching my DVD collection and mostly ignoring it while I work most of the day. Am I missing anything at night? Probably not, since it's summer.
