Sleeping Mode
Zzzzzz. Apparently, I'm still in sleeping mode. Haven't slept this much...since I don't know when. Anyway, I get up. Have my meds and breakfast. And take a nap.Sometimes I think about one of my wips, but when I open them up, there just isn't anything going on in my head. It's still on nap time. Not even planning seems to be in the cards.

Promo in Odd Places
Life is funny. Intentions are so much tissue paper when you're sick. My daughter, granddaughters and I had planned a glamour girls night last week on Super Bowl Sunday while the guys were down at my neighbors watching the game. Alas, both my daughter and I were suffering with sick bellyaches. So the normal waxing of chins/coloring of hair didn't happen.Then I went off to the hospital and that's

Lost Week
A week ago the Super Bowl was just over. Winners were celebrating. Losers were commiserating. And life was going on. In the past week the Olympics started, a new Afghan offensive was launched, a blizzard visited much of the East coast dumping copious amounts of snow on the countryside, and in upstate New York a young man loosely connected to my family was murdered.All of that occurred at a
