Coming home!

I came home on Sunday from my ten days of camping, on Monday I was sick as a dog got the damn flu. So hubby helped out a lot, walking the dog and doing things around the house. I was in bed for two day with fever. And when I have a fever I can shower all I want it just doesn’t help. I still have two weeks left of my holiday (yippee) It’s been three days since I wrote anything and that bothers me most of being sick L.  As for the reading part ..I have much audio books thank god because reading with fever isn’t doable.

Sad news!

Furthermore my neighbors sister died this week at the  age of 47 What can I say. Fair, not fair? It is what it is life can be a bitch sometimes.  She was a wonderful woman with a powerful spirit RIP sweetie.

Tonight they all go to church to pray for her, I’m sick so I’m stuck at home.

Is it the dog or the human!

More bad news, hubby came back from walking with Max and Max’s doggie friend a very cute little pooch was bitten to death in the park were we always take our Max *shudder*  A small li’ll doggie bitten to death by two huge dogs, how awful is that!

And the man who owned the little doggie tried to help his doggie he got bitten so severely, he ended up in the hospital the man has a heart condition and is already very sick.

Why want people big, big dogs? Is it because they themselves are insecure, I would say 90% of those people are very insecure and by having a big mean dog they feel like a man. Losers  In my humble opinion. My hubby walks with our doggie and doesn’t feel less of a man.

Men who walk with small dogs are the real men, they have confidence and don’t feel less of a man when walking a small dog.

And it’s the human who is at fault when the dog becomes dangerous, it’s all about knowing how to raise your dog. And if you don’t know how to, then there are dog schools. They are able to help train your dog so the dog becomes balanced.

Balanced dogs are not dangerous they are social and won’t kill other dogs.

My book is coming along so well :) and My Holiday

It’s Sunday 18^th august and while I type this all down I wonder, how both of my neighbors all are holding up. And if R (I don’t use any names because of privacy reasons) is still alive. I remember when my granny was so sick and she knew her time would come soon, she was in constant pain and practically lived in bed for the last two years of her life.

She once said to me ”Dee….animals are so much better of them we humans” I asked her what she meant by that and she said “if an animal is terminal ill and it suffers because of it, then we have the option to put the animal down because we don’t want our beloved pets to suffer unnecessarily, however…. we humans have to suffer till the bitter end even though I think  it isn’t very humane at all

Monday 20^th  august

A perfect life??

Today we meet many of the Smart club, we are packed and ready to move to the campsite where we all will stay as a group. I’m looking forward to it and the temperature is great today it’s around 24 degrees Celsius and that’s really nice. My writing is going well in fact it’s going better then I imagined. I now know how the story continues and what’s more important I know how it ends……hubby is cooking for three day now and he loves it, but only when we are camping he doesn’t cook at home, so weird. He does the grocery shopping too, and that’s so totally fine with me. Max and I we stay at the campsite nicely in the shade and while Max is lying beside me I can continue writing  my book. Yeah sometimes life is perfect. But that’s the way it should be if you are on holiday don’t go looking for problems just live in the here and now and make the most of your time away from home…

Good Times and sad Times.

Last week.

I didn’t have the time to update my blog last week so, I will write down the (for me) important things that happened in week 33

I’m writing all of this offline (not having internet at the camp side). As I’m writing this down I’m out camping with hubby and li’ll Max, it’s been two days since we arrived here at the camp site. And I hope that I can post some of these following blogs online in the days to come (will search for a hotspot somewhere)

Here it goes,

Week 33

To write down this week’s opening story is very hard but, it also helps me to coop with things, horrible life altering things.

Life isn’t always fair

Life isn’t fair, never was, and never will be!!

At the beginning of the week I got some bad and very sad news, hubby and I were walking Max and on our way back to the house, one of my neighbors called me back. She and her partner are living around the corner from our house, so I asked my hubby to take Max home and I went to see  her. Now, I do know that her sister-in-law is in the hospital and that she’s very sick (the big C) I just can’t write down that word.  

Anyways she was crying and told me that her S-I-L is dying. 

And although I wasn’t surprised because I knew that she had an outbreak of the big C. at four crucial different places in her body and the Chemo and Radiation didn’t have any  effect at all.

But still, to see my neighbor in so much distress and to actually hear out loud that someone you know and like so much, has only, maybe, two to three weeks left, is devastating. When I was called over to my neighbor, her partner was  already at the hospital again, she works forty hours a week and is spending ever single minute of her time at her sisters bedside.   So I held my neighbor in my arms and let her cry, we cried together. I sincerely hope her suffering will end soon, she is a great person and she doesn’t deserve any of this.

More of the week.

Week 33 was uneventful ‘routine’ if you will. The weather is very nice so far, I only have to work until Thursday and then…..I take my much needed three weeks’ vacation.

Hubby has his Smart Club event, starting Thursday 23^th august and at first I didn’t want to go with him to the event. But because the great weather and the fact that I need my heart meds again made me decide otherwise. So on Wednesday I told him I decided to come along after all, he just smiled and said “It took you long enough” he knew I would go with him even before I did myself.

We had reservations from Monday 20^th  till Sunday 26^th  of august and I was like, why don’t we leave sooner and spend the weekend already at the camp side we can take Max with us so what’s holding us back. So after some hasty preparations ‘I always do some extra cleaning when we’re away for some time.’ We left on Friday morning and we are having a wonderful time. Nice warm weather although, it’s noon and the temperature hit the 35 degrees Celsius already. So I made myself and Max comfortable in the shade sports drink at hand because I loos so much vitamins and minerals when it’s this hot.

Because of the heat we took li’ll Max for his walk very early in the morning fist at 7 am second at 830 am. We can’t take him out at noon or even in the afternoon because he can’t take the head, poor pooch.

Take care!

Just an ordinary day?

I wanted to continue writing today, but I’m still writing on the death scene of (him/her)  and no, I didn’t closedown my laptop yesterday just couldn’t. I re-wrote this particular scene  three times and I think I’m getting there so, I hope I’m able to finish this today. It really is so much harder than I thought it would be, I mean it’s just a character a fictional person, right? Wrong…… when I started this novel the character became friends they came to life, so yeah it’s difficult.

First I groomed Max this morning it really was necessary, it always takes me about an hour at the least.  And now I have to take him for his walk and it starting to rain, this is so messed up I think I will let him wear his raincoat LOLOL so that he doesn’t get soaked all the way.  

And now…. I will continue writing the death scene, and hopefully get it done today. It’s going really well I have over 33000 word count and I have so many ideas for the next scene already. ( Is bouncing now) 

Terrible but It was the right thing to do!

Oh man, I just let one of the characters in my book die. I feel bad about this, I really do. But I felt I had no other choice really! I read about it that, sometimes if authors decide to let a character die, they feel really bad about it. 

Well now I agree, it sucks. I think I put the laptop away for now and I will indulge myself with a nice glass of red wine. 

Good night to all of you. xx

Busy Monday

I don’t know about all of you, but Monday is always a very busy day for me.  I’ve been to work already and done the grocery shopping too, I hate grocery shopping with a passion LOL.  

I applied for some online writing/ data entry jobs. Took some time to find the  ones I would really like to do thought.

Now, all I have to do before I continue writing on my novel is to walk my li’ll doggie. And I’m trying to decide if I open both the WIP files or stick to just one book for now. Ah choices, choices.

As I was working in the garden yesterday, I got some ideas for both the stories  so, I hope to get some writing done today. That’s it for now. I’ll add some more later on. (I think).

A nice weekend.

I worked a lot in the garden yesterday, cleaned the pool it’s not a big pool just  (5621 liter). But for hubby and me it’s big enough to cool down.  I got stuck with my writing, don’t know why. Maybe because I was behind my laptop every available hour of this last week.  Anyways I decided not to write anything this weekend, I do take notes however because the ideas are slowly filling my head  again.

So being creative in my garden does seems to help. I’m creating new flowerbeds yep I am. And I came up with some new ideas for the Alex and Toni story as well *Yay me*  

I have 2300 word count so far on the Alex and Toni story. And a bit over 31000 word count on the Sam and Rory story whoohoo. I’m chatting with a good friend of mine while typing this LOL . Talking about our dogs and garden digging LOLOL. So he is off to the beach now and I’ll work some more in the garden. Does my li’ll doggie help me? Yeah sure, he is lying in the shadows occasionally chewing on some ice cubes. The lucky bastard.

More to do!

I was so tired when I got up this morning, probably because I had a bad night’s sleep, I wrote all evening and when I finally went to bed I had still so many ideas, so yeah that will keep me awake at night. I listened to an audio book for a few hours and must have fallen asleep sometime near the end of the story, because I don’t remember for it to end and yet it was finished the next time I woke and checked.

Anyways, after two cups of coffee, I slowly woke up read the newspaper, which I really shouldn’t because of all the bad, bad news. But a woman has to keep up with what’s happening in the world, right? I had my breakfast took a shower and put on my clothes and continued with both the story’s .

The short story (Main characters Alex who is a lawyer and Toni who is a bartender)  I was planning on writing, will probable turn out to be a novella LOL I just have so much ideas, I first planned it to be just a meet and fuck/ BDSM story, but it turns out to be so much more already. So I’ll continue with the writing and see how it goes because a story is finished when I feel it’s complete and not anytime sooner.

My other book (Main characters Sam and Rory) The story is set in the Rocky Mountains, is progressing slowly, but hey I’m still writing so that’s good, right?

Anyways, I already did some housecleaning (Not nearly enough, but I’m on the roll with my writing *shrug*) I also went to the grocery store. And…. I even decided what to cook for dinner, I will make Goulash with rice, hmm getting hungry already and I just finished my lunch. That’s it for now, gonna do some more writing.  

A very busy week!

I had a very stressful week, I started on another book this will be a short story with approximately 3500 word count, I’m making good progress. It’s just that when I have an idea I have to put it on paper  LOL. But it also means that I didn’t continue  writing on my novel *sigh* I wanted to, I really did, but at the moment I’m a bit stuck on the story. And I want to do this the right way, so I’m taking my time. Ah… I’m too much behind my laptop especially this last week.

Then I have a job for several hours a week, I work on Mondays and Thursdays. Thursday is always a bitch, because I don’t have time for anything else really. And I’m walking around most of the day with all these great ideas and I can’t write them down. It’s a bit frustrating, yes it really is :) So I came home in the late afternoon today and was so hungry and tired, I cuddled with my doggie and kissed my hubby, he started dinner and I got behind my laptop and started writing. 

It’s late evening now and I’m still writing on the short story, hubby is behind his laptop and our doggie is on the chair beside me. I had so little time for him today, so tomorrow he and I will go for a really long walk. Then I really have to start on the cleaning thingy you know, living room and so on ( Not laughing right now) I will listen to an audio book I have on my Mp3 player that way I get some reading done.

I have tons of books still to read, and I will create reading time I will clear my schedule so I will have at least  one and a half hour reading time per day. Ohhhh mannnnnn that sounds so gooooood. Maybe I’m too busy on to many projects right now I don’t know, but I do know that I love being busy and I love the writing I see it as creating something beautiful when writing a book. That's it for now! Night all.
