And the Winner is…
The past two weeks have seen too many highs and lows to count.
Low: My husband’s surgery was delayed indefinitely because apparently the bone in his leg didn’t heal properly. And they forgot to tell us that the surgery had been cancelled. (%$#@!)
High?: We are being referred to another doctor in hopes of figuring out how to proceed.
Low: My job of three months decided to cut my work to two days a week because of slower than anticipated growth. I’m pretty peeved, but I’m moving on and sending out applications.
High: One of the first I sent went to a place where a friend of mine is Director of Rehab. Did I know that? Not until I got a enlightening text from her. Within a few days, I met with her, sent paperwork, and accepted a part-time (PRN) position with that company. The nice thing about PRN–flexibility. The bad thing about PRN–no benefits or guarantee of hours. Since it’s not full-time, I have talked with another director about a similar situation, and I have an interview with him next week. All said, I’m excited to work with my friend again in a lovely, fun-loving community.
Top o’ the Highest Mountain High: My blog review tour and giveaway with Lone Star Literary Life finishes today. I’ve received lots of great reviews and feedback from the bloggers.
“…packs quite the ghostly wallop”–Reading by Moonlight
“I really like when a book surprises me – and this one did.”–The Real World According to Sam
“Definitely a great set up for what is to come. I cannot wait – I’m sure it will be a fun time, for sure!”–Book Fidelity
“This book, y’all! It is chock full of things I love.”–The Plain-Spoken Pen
“…an engaging and fun read! It could easily be a beach read as well as a warm-Texas-night-with-a-slight-breeze read.”–The Clueless Gent
“This book was hard for me to put down. I wanted to understand more, uncover more clues, and I rooted for a spark between Tess and Crock to lead to a relationship. It didn’t hurt that the book is set in my part of Texas.”–Storeybook Reviews
“If you love ghost stories, the paranormal, great characters, and fast-paced stories, then you need to check out this book.”–Forgotten Winds
“…the story is riveting, and I wasn’t about to put this book down until the final page was completed or turn out any lights either.”–Boys’ Mom Reads
“…the Corona family was contagious to read about. I just wanted to read more and more of them!”–The Page Unbound
“The opening of the book when Tess is trying to get her three-year-old niece to get dressed is laugh-out-loud funny. And I was glad I was not drinking my coffee when she opened the door…”–It’s Not All Gravy
Over the Moon High: And last, but not least (drum roll, please) a review from the Mimi (aka my mother) who is FINALLY reading one of my books in its entirety:
“Chapter 32 is quite the barn burner chapter. Good grief!” because it’s a “Very graphic description of chaos at its best. You have quite an imagination. Colorful. Chaotic. Crazy.”
Thanks, Mom! I love you, too!
