You've nothing to worry about where we're concerned. To quote Han Solo, "We're all fine, here, now. How are you?" ;-)

Been busy doing laundry and other household chores all day. Thank you for your kind words and understanding. Hugs!
Hi & Hugs to All!!Good News - Hubby is home and all is right with my world again... as good as it can be with someone as mentally and physically ill as me. Ha, ha.
Bag News - I have a change of the season cold and feel like crap. Trying to keep Hubby from getting it, but we all know that's just not possible. He has upped his vitamin C intake, however, which often works for him.
Good News - I took photos of several paintings from when I first started yeeeeaaaarrrrss ago. I paint for fun and relaxation. I posted some of them as photos on my Medium articles where I didn't have a photo. On Medium, I prefer to use one of my photos or nothing. Don't know why. Anyway, though these are all old articles, I doubt anyone will see my paintings. That's okay because I enjoyed doing it.
Hope everyone is enjoying their day and feeling well. Hugs, Sam

I know how you feel about the change of season, I love the beauty of winter but not the temperatures or the lack of sunlight...."We haven't changed the clocks back yet, Just thinking about it makes me sad. I, like you, NEED the sun. Hugs
What I thought was a change of season cold turned into the flu a few days ago. Glad I can't transmit this online! I've got some catching up to do on Medium. Hugs to All, Sam

I've been able to keep down a piece of toast so far... Alternating between water and Powerade. I'm hoping I'm getting better. Hugs
Slowly getting there... I think. Thank you Debz. Hugs!

Thank you Carole and Judy. HugsJust checking in. Have always had a weak constitution which is why it takes me so long to recover when I get sick. Hugs to All.
Hope you’re starting to feel better Sam.
Thank you DJ and Alex. No longer getting sick, but feeling very weak, tired, and I ache all over. Hugs.
Sounds like you need to rest a lot and plenty of fluids.

Take this time to heal. Let everything else go.
Hope you feel better very soon!
Thank you DJ and Alicya. I'm now able to keep crackers and powdered mashed potatoes down. Good sign. Hugs
Just attended the La Jolla Writer's conference. I will post more later but here are a couple of things I learned. Go to Amazon and look at books that are similar to your books. Choose a book or two and look at the 5 star and the 1 star reviews. Everyone has people who love their books and those that hate them. Then look at the Categories these authors use. You should change your categories at least every six months.
The conference was excellent, if anyone is interested in going to a writers conference next year here is a link to register for the 2019 La Jolla Writer's conference at $100 off. https://lajollawritersconference.com/...

Currently feeling overwhelmed by nothing in particular. I think I'm done with being a human. I may try being a cat for a bit. Or a marshmallow. I could do squidgy.
I feel I would be very adept at squidging.

OverwhelmedOverwhelmedOverwhelmed. I am doing too many things. Not getting enough sleep. Too much going on. For someone who likes routine and consistency I've been self-employed for almost eighteen years and it's doing my head in. I don't know what to expect from one day to the next. Need. A Break.

I really thought you were going to say to put all the stuff in a pile in the middle of the desk and set fire to it. I am mostly done. I have solved an insurance issue, sorted stock, fed humans, fuelled car, sorted shopping. There is one thing I cannot fix and I have an irritating work around for. My husband is now looking into it. I spent 2 hours getting nowhere today and that was after spending a similar amount of time a couple of weeks ago. It’s an IT thing. If it’s fixable he’ll manage it.
And the house is a tip. No change there.
It was a very sensible response. But I do like the idea of setting fire to something and walking away. I am going to well and truly flame that pudding on Christmas Day!
That’s very productive. I’m mostly frustrated. I think I just need a break.
And an ultrasound lol. 27th December to establish that I do indeed have internal organs. Roll eyes here.
I hope it goes ok for you on Christmas Eve. What an odd time to schedule an op.
I think you’re right. And it’s wise to just get on with it as soon as you can. If you drop off an NHS list like I did this summer and autumn you can end up in a worse state than you started.
Hope you're home safe and sound by now, Alex.And DJ I hope you are too.

I've given up something I've really enjoyed doing but which required more time than I can give if I want to write, live and stay sane. Is there something you can give up?
As for the pile - that works. I put a note in my diary, just here and there, to spend a quarter of an hour on 'the pile' and I have a note under my screen which says 'Do one thing from the tray' and if I'm good and do one thing, I can turn it over and there's a pretty picture instead of the demanding notice. Sometimes it works!
Where are my manners here? I'm new here, but I can recognize some faces. I was recommended to try this group thanks to Kay MacLeod. If anyone has not heard of me, I would like to introduce myself. My name is Simi Sunny, and I would like to get to know each every one of you. I write Fantasy, Mystery, and Young Adult novels. Right now, I'm currently working on WIP that's both Fantasy/Paranormal novel ^^

I feel the same, lately. Maybe it's my mind since I was busy lately. I'm doing my best to get into the groove of balancing my work and life pleasures.
Hello Simi, if you are on Twitter I'll follow you.
Alex wrote: "Hi, Simi, good to see you here."Thanks, Alex. I do my best to be active ^^
I have twitter. You don't have to follow me on twitter, if my posts can be annoying or anything else. I post something fun while replying to others :) But if you want to, here's my page. https://twitter.com/SimiSunny1
Alex wrote: "No need to put pressure on yourself, Simi. I respond to comments here when I can, but I frequently have days where, much as I want to, I just can't bring myself to say anything.This is a very kin..."
I can tell :) And what makes me even more welcoming is that I get to see familiar faces. So now, I don't feel like I'm so stranger being casted off.
Some of us pop in and then disappear for weeks on end - maybe doing writing! Or just busy with life in general. What is so nice is that nobody minds and nobody ignores you when you do make it back to the Navi family.Welcome, Simi.
