Enjoying Saturday…..

Hubby and I went out for dinner yesterday and we had a really good time. I had champignons de Dordogne and salmon file, ah it was heaven. You see I know this restaurant were the serve excellent food for a normal price.

I slept in today because I was so very tired. I got little sleep the last few nights. Sometimes I just can’t let a topic go and when that happens I can’t sleep. Sometimes I just can’t sleep, no particular reason, I simply lie awake. Last night though I slept like a baby. I finished my articles on time and they all were just perfect. This morning another assignment was waiting for me in my mailbox *grinning*.

Right now I continue writing my novella because I’m way behind and catching up with friends on Skype and Facebook. I always try to keep up with friends but sometimes work just swallows me whole LOL.  I even make time to do the laundry hahahaha, the weather is good so I’ll hang the large pieces outside. I’m sitting on the couch with my laptop; Max is lying beside me in a fest asleep.

This is gonna be a good day, I mean I woke up to sunshine in November, how cool is that. Gonna hang the laundry now and write not only on my novella but I promised hubby to translate his press release during the weekend. 

Busy weekend….

So here I thought to read some books from my favorite authors that recently were published. It’s not going to happen, obviously! Hubby is developing, designing and produce tent-trailers and we are now published in a magazine that has the latest information and news regarding camping.

We already did sell some tent-trailers, but now there are more potential costumers calling, because they read about us in the Camping magazine. The press-release is in Dutch and I have to translate it in German and in the English language.

Today it’s Saturday and I’m preparing (research) for my article writing which starts on Monday. Sunday will be the day that I have time to translate the press-release in two different languages. I don’t mind though, this press-release is very important and I love to translate, it’s so much easier then writing difficult articles!

Max had some health issues again, nothing serious though. He gets four times a year treatment against worms and he always reacts badly to the treatment.  Today he got his last meds and he will be fine tomorrow.

I’m feeling good right now, all is as it should be.  

Tired and confused!

This should have been a relaxing day. I planned on walking a lot with li’ll Max because the weather today was just awesome. The day started out pretty good and this morning I took my first long walk with Max, it was wonderful.

Then, I talked to my friend, who told me that her son is in the hospital. He is only 19 and was admitted to the hospital because he had a cardiac arrest, his heart just stopped. My friend is a single mother with a lousy asshole no good ex-husband who doesn’t look after his kids.

I’m so confused and she is so scared. Right now I’m exhausted because too much worry will do that to a person. Tension like this always drains me to the fullest. I prepared a quick meal and now I’m off to my friend again.

The hospital did some testing today and I really want to know how it went. 

Saturday............

7 am: pouring my first double espresso of the day. I can’t function without coffee; I need the fresh brew to wake up. Since its Saturday I take things easy, watching Cajun Pawn Stars and sipping coffee is my way to start the weekend.

Yesterday Max and I went shopping for a winter coat. Max has one winter coat but it doesn't protect his kidneys and tummy enough. Max isn't very strong, he gets sick easily, so now he has this cool winter sweater/ hoody. He really looks so cool wearing his new winter sweater.

9 am: start working in the garden, the roses needs to move to another part of the garden and November is the best month to (re) plant roses.

10 am: need a break, blood pressure is getting unstable again I’m feeling dizzy and heart rate is speeding up. I've taken my meds and now I have to take it easy for a while. Taking it easy is no problem at all; I’ll continue writing on my latest book. The whole story is already in my head and notes are written down, so I don’t forget.

Right now I’m busy writing and in between I read a little bit, reading relaxes me like nothing else. I basically write a scene and after I’m finished I take some time to read.

1.30 pm: prepared lunch (pancakes) I so love pancakes.  Took care of the laundry and feed Max. Uploaded photos of Max in his new winter coat to my Facebook page. I continue writing while hubby is changing summer tires to winter tires. It’s misty outside, which means that right now it’s icy cold. I’m glad I took Max for his big walk earlier; this mist is getting thicker by the hour.

I’m thinking of getting more familiar with WordPress, but the writing goes so well that I can’t stop, so WordPress has to wait a bit longer. I looked for writing jobs this week, but there wasn't anything interesting and frankly I didn't mind. I feel so at ease at the moment, I think it’s because I finally am able to write on my stories again. That’s it’s for now. 

Just an ordinary day.....

8:30 a.m. breakfast, then shower and continue with writing on my new story which goes really well.

10:45 a.m.  on my way to the vet! Max finally gets his shot today. He should have them last month, but since he was sick on and off again we had to wait.

11:30 a.m. leaving the vet and now on my way to the pet store, Max has a special diet which is only available at the pet store. While in the pet store is looked for a new winter coat for Max, he already has three different coats like a rain coat, warm winter coat and a safety coat. So I think he had more than enough coats for now.  

12:30 p.m. finished lunch, continue writing again.

2:30 p.m. walking Max, the weather is great, sunny and not to cold, perfect for a one hour walk.

3:20 p.m. Back home again, continuing writing on my story. Max is lying on his fluffy pillow fast asleep.

5 p.m. Preparing Max’s dinner, he always has his dinner at 5 p.m.  Max has severe stomach problems so eating at the same time every day is imperative.

6 p.m. finally dinner is ready, I’m hungry.

630 p.m. My good friend and beta reader isn't feeling well. Tonight, no editing books, but hey if you’re sick then you’re sick, right?

I’ll continue writing for a while because I’m on the roll people. Also my favorite show airs tonight, of course I’m gonna watch that too. 

Unbelievable

The plan for today was to continue re-writing my novel. Well as it turned out I got this magnificent idea for a new story. If a new idea pops into my head, I just have to start writing so that’s what I did. It’s 830 pm right now and I’m still writing and watching TV. Under the Dome is starting I just love that series.

Also I finished translating some internet pages into two different languages for hubby today, did that in between my writing.

Writing went really well today, I’m so happy! Also Max is doing so much better, I hope to get some sleep tonight. 

A very productive week....

Re-writing goes well, i have the time right now and i feel at ease. I'm i thinker and i worry all the time. The last few days i feel really good, even though i didn't catch much sleep last night. Max was pretty sick and he needed to go out in the garden several times last night. Max always wakes me up when he feels something is wrong. after he woke me up for the second time i was om alert, and that usually means no more sleep for the rest of the night.

Right now Max seems ok! Max has a very sensitive stomach, he has stomach problems since he was a pup. Today his diet for today is mostly crackers his dinner will be as usual he gets food that's just for dogs who have a sensitive stomach, like my Max.

Also i made an appointment with my beta reader, so we can go through both the books i'm working on right now!

Hubby just put some delicious snacks on the coffee table so time to stop blogging LOL.

Time on my hands...

This week I have time on my hands, and that means time to continue re-writing my novel and writing on my Christmas novella. After struggling for months now, it all comes together and I can make the changes. The story-line will stay the same, of course!  Also I finally chose a pen-name that I really like.

The reason that I’m able to write on my books again is that I feel good, relaxed right now. I moved with my laptop from my desk to the couch, it just makes me feel more relaxed.

Since I have time because I’m between writing jobs I finally am able to catch up with friends again and making plans for the holidays (Christmas). When it comes to article/ copy (re)writing I’m very picky. That’s why I’m between jobs right now. I always am very careful and I don’t work for just anybody. I get many offers from contractors who want to hire me; I turn down almost all of the offers.

Right now I’m on the couch writing this blog and listen to love songs on the radio, I feel peaceful. Also I’m feeling inspired; yesterday I deleted a whole chapter and wrote 3 pages, so that’s pretty awesome. The publisher wanted more romance, so I’ll put in more romance because that’s what I’m good at!
