I Need Chocolate and Popcorn, STAT!

I'm not much of a drinker anymore, I used up my lifetime allotment of alcohol in my twenties, so now my stress response is chocolate and popcorn or chips.I am about to the point where I am going to stop being optimistic about my abilities to make plans and be able to make them happen. Right now, my time has been devoted to taking care of our dog Shaggy. Just when I think he's finally getting over whatever it is he has, he takes a turn for the worse again.I did manage to getInto the West: A New Homeon Barnes and Noble in Nook format. I am still working on getting the cover art fixed for the paperback and hardcover books.  There seems to be a glitch in their program because when I look at the proof of the covers the crop marks cut through the center of the barcode and it is their program that places the bar codes, not me. I tried contacting customer service once about this and they didn't seem to understand what I meant. I will try again today.I also have to call the school and see about getting into the class I still need to finish. I wonder if there is anything else I can load into my schedule to keep me from writing? I see many more late nights in my future, writing until I'm falling asleep on the computer. At least that is the one benefit of P.R. being gone so much right now, I can spend all my time writing and not miss any time with my better half.And as God is my witness, one day the audiobooks will be finished!I know I keep talking about getting them done but unlike producing something in print, I have never in my life tried to do anything in voice recordings. Well, that is not entirely true. I worked in broadcast news for a very short time but I didn't have to buy the equipment, set up a sound studio, figure out how to format and package the news broadcasts. I just had to write a blurb, record it, edit it, and hit broadcast. And these were headline news bits, a few minutes at the most. I've never had to set up for hours of recording and editing. It is definitely a learning process. Good thing Dianne is a good sport about this all, not that she really has a choice.
