Eldest is living by herself for the next three weeks as she dogsits, and she hates it. The dogs are a needy breed who are away from their people for the first time and they want constant attention. Eldest feels bad leaving the house, but the dogs are poorly trained and don't do well with other dogs.

"Listen, Sunshine, you vandalized my truck after I saved your life. Most people would have reported you to the police."

"I told you to leave me up in the mountains in my cabin. Your choice to kidnap me had consequences and they are entirely your own problem."

My body has heard of iron and oxygen for the brain, but today it doesn't believe in either.

#Anemia #SoTired

It was dangerous, certainly. Self-indulgent, definitely.

A better person probably would have done some yoga, centered their energy, and moved on. I wasn’t a better person, I was a monster, and I was okay with that.

If none of these are working your brain is either tired, hungry, or holding onto something that won't allow more data into the work space.

Give yourself a breather, get some water and food, and rest if you need it. Be kind to yourself.

If you hate working with music you can use smell or location to be the trigger (or both).

Tiny Little #LifeHack:

Make a playlist for every task you need to do. Homework, writing project, dish washing, whatever... give it a playlist and use it whenever you are doing the thing.

If you can't get yourself to do the thing, play the playlist. In most cases, that gets the brain to do the work.

Some authors write books where the heroes are people you should emulate.

I don't.

I definitely don't.

Make better choices than my characters.

"They're all on the same page: crime pays and murder is always an option."

Side Note:

DM, RT, tweet... those are in the social media vocabulary and I'm not making new words for every new social media site. Twitter is dead but the language lives on. This is just how the English language is.

Okay, my feed is on Safety Mode for the rest of the day.

This means for the next eight hours or so I'm only doing writing and happiness here. I'm going to ignore the world, channel the positive vibes into tackling my day, and RTing whatever makes me smile.

One of my favorite songs at the moment. Is it because I'm working on my ren faire pirate coat and a mermaid book for 2025? Maybe.

But it's also got a good beat.

It's after 9am and I haven't been at my desk since Thursday so let's figure where the heck I am and make a to-do list so I can actually get some work done.

Singing is stimming with pretty privilege.

Oh no.

Oh no.

I have a plot bunny.

I have a plot bunny and the person to blame is not on this app yet so I can't blame her.

Oh no.

I walked close to 20k (12 miles) in the past two days, and we all know I'm not usually a up to long distances. And I'm sore, but not dislocated. My knees, hip, and ankles all stayed in place. I feel like I ought to send my physical therapist a thank you note.

I just deleted 2400 photos from my phone (after backing up to two different offsite servers and ensuring that 18 other people have copies) and I feel like an absolute monster for destroying pictures.
