Catch Up!

Well, here we are, almost through January already. How freaky is that? I do hope the New Year has been a good start to the - well, New Year - for you all.

Our weather has been all over the shop, from 44.5C to 24C in a matter of days. (112.1F - 75.2F). The other day I was boiling, today I'm sitting here wearing a cardigan. Go figure.

So, writing-wise...I'm partway through re-editing/re-writing the second H&S and want to get it done ASAP, so I can write a new book. So 3 days off and nose to the keyboard.

Reading-wise...partway through Leverage in Death, I do like JD Robb! Ahhh, Galahad the fat cat, you make me smile! I do enjoy being back with the gang again, even though the mystery isn't the nicest - but what murder mystery is ever really nice, right? But intriguing! That is the word.

Movie/TV-wise...currently re-watching Friends. Just finished season 4 and ready to start season 5. Loving it! Such a more innocent age when no one took offense at things so easily. Laughing and commiserating with the characters.

Kindle-wise...my original keyboard Kindle is slowly dying on me. The switch is broken and if I'm not careful to push it back (it won't spring back), the Kindle is still on when I think it's off and the battery is dead when I go to read, so it's constant checking and recharging the battery. I do have a second Kindle, but I need to go back to Smashwords and Amazon and reload about 1000+ ebooks onto the 2nd Kindle. GULP! That's going to take a long time as I don't do WiFi so I'm guessing I have to do manual downloads and transfers, unable to do a bulk one. Have to check that out, but I'm thinking it's going to be a looooooong process.

Back at work, holiday over, it seems like I never had one! LOL I've also sliced my thumb while cutting carrots, had to use a LOT of pressure to stop the bleeding. Now I can't have an open wound while working at the hospital, and sticking plasters fall off because of frequent hand washing, so I get a glove from work every shift, cut a finger off and use Micropore to stick it onto my thumb. Works well and a blue thumb looks pretty impressive. Trying to top that little episode, I slammed/scraped my finger along the corner of a bench while vacuuming which resulted in a swollen and bruised forefinger (but that still works, so after a bit of swearing I can still use it). Cracked my right shin against a table leg and whacked my right calf on - well, have no idea what, but both legs now have some pretty impressive bruising.

I'm greeting the New Year a little battered and bruised but hey! I'M STILL STANDING!

Okay, so just wanted to touch base! Now it's back to hanging out one of the covers from the cats' cushions (thanks to whichever furry spewed up on it and let it dry) and back to editing.

cheers!
