Dang it!

 Seriously, I feel like I have been sick for the last month. I started out by nursing everyone else through the twenty-four-hour virus, before succumbing to it myself... I can tell you, I really hate vomiting. Then, no sooner did I get over the first illness. When low and behold, I get a freaking head cold━I just can't freaking win some days. Now my 92-year-old mum has come down with the same damn thing, and our house is sick again. Once we are both better I will have to do a top to bottom, household scrub-down.

Though I have been working━well kind of. I have been re-writing my synopsis and the opening for E.P.I.C. I'm thinking about going in a whole different direction with it. It'll be along the same lines, just different━more to it than I originally planned. I'll probably enjoy writing it more now.

Lately, I have this song on repeat in my head.

It's driving me nuts.

Random Thoughts...

I've decided from now on. I'm going to  do what's right for me. there are only 9 more weeks until the end of 2022. So when 2023 rolls around my new attitude in life is going to be getting my own life in order.

Next year I want my head to be in a better more clearer space. Right now it seems to be a jumbled chaotic mess. I can't even think coherently enough to write, and I really want to be able to write again.

I need to go and do my groceries tomorrow. It'll be the first time in about a month. I need to restock. before I go I suppose I'll have to clean out my pantry and freezer to see what I actually have. I hate it when I buy stuff that I already have. My new plan of action is to shop smarter... I'm even going to start doing meal plans because groceries are getting damn expensive. I'm only going to buy what I need for each meal. Gone are the days when we needed to stock up for a seven-year siege.

I've been watching shows on being more organized. In my life = around the house, and just in life in general. I'm still in the midst of decluttering all my stuff. I don't understand why I have so much. I seriously don't need it. I haven't even used most of it in almost a year. It's just taking up space that could ultimately be used for something else.

Today's feel-good tune to get you in a happy mood. Sometimes you just need something a little upbeat and peppy, and today for me, it's Racey.

I've Never Felt So Tired

Okay, at the moment I'm looking after my brother and sister-in-law's chickens while they are away on holiday. It's been raining here nearly the whole time so it's been a bit crazy weather-wise.

Also, my daughter and her family have been moving house... so I have been helping pack and unpack their belongings. I thought I had a lot of possessions, but I have nothing on them. At least the new house doesn't seem to have the mold problem that the old place had━well, it hasn't shown it thus far. The new house also has enough bedrooms for them all to have one of their own, and for the kids to have a toy room.

My granddaughter's strawberries have finally started fruiting, so she is going to be happy. She loves gardening with Grandma, but we have to move our veg patch into pot plants. as the side of the hill isn't working for us. Grace and I aren't the most coordinated of people.

I've been working on The 1st book in The Brothers McCrieve series. It has the main characters of  Justice McCrieve and Josaphine "Josie" Brookes. I'm not sure where it's going just yet, but I'm thinking I like the flow so far. It's going to be one of those books where there's a crossover with other series.

This song has been stuck in my head for days. So I thought I'd share it with you all. I have no clue why other than it's an awesome song. But it's kind of been driving me nuts. I'm hoping this will at least free it from my head and make room for

Em's Turn

 

Been a long time

since we had some music playing

hope you enjoy 10 of

what I'm currently listening to.

Em's Turn

so, forgive some of their randomnesses.

Quiet often sing this to Grace, she loves it.

Heard it on the radio, and it just got stuck.

I have been singing this one to babies for years.

One from my iPod and a constant in my head. 

It's my birthday

I turn 51 today... I wish I was feeling like I could party, but sadly I'm still under the weather with my virus.

Today I decided to play for you some of my favourite music, so you can see what's going on inside my head.

PS: I have about 100 pages left to read through on The Lines of Marsden 4: The Trail of Red Roses before I send it back to Christie N at MLRPress.

My favourite David Bowie song.

My Favourite Goo Goo Dolls song.

My favourite Tim Curry song.

My favourite Nickelback song.

Where has the year gone?

12 of my favourites 

For old time sake

Enjoy!

Can't get this out of my head.

The damn thing is stuck on repeat and is starting to drive me a little nuts. I love the song though, I really do. I don't want to start hating it because I can't stop singing it. I suppose it's better than the last one that got stuck in my head.

Yes, as you can tell I've been spending way too much time with my granddaughter, Grace... the shit I have to put up with to make her happy. Lucky I love her so damn much. I suppose as she gets older I'll have to listen to a whole heap pf different music, just like I did when her mother was growing up.

Songs that get stuck in my head

& I can't get rid of them

sometimes for days on end

Enjoy!

Em's Turn...

What inspires some of my writing.

Here are four to listen to.

Enjoy them ━ I do.

Nickelback always makes me want to start writing The Lines of Marsden.

This song for me is pure Michael and Doyle.

Falling in Reverse and I'm itching to write Experimentals.

Any music like this gets my brain going for my boys.

Paolo Nutini comes on & The Connelly Clan are at the forefront of my mind.

Particularly Ray, and I don't why.

The Killers are my fall back band ~ just because I love them.

And as crazy as it seems the Wardens of the Guild boys love them as well.

Em's Turn

Hope you enjoy what

 I'm listening to at the moment.

4 songs just you. 

Just remember,

 I spend a lot of my time

 with an 18-month-old.

I used to sing On the Dark Side to my daughter and nephew when they were babies to get them to go to sleep.

Gracie just loves her Zacky Boy.

Gracie loves walking around with my/our BVB beanie on.

This one really is for my daughter Emily.
