You know how some mornings and the sun is shining, the birds are singing and you just can't wait to get out and face the day?
Well, this ain't one of those days.
It's Monday, it's cloudy, the beautiful white snow that blanketed my neighborhood yesterday is now tracked up from all the sledding and snowman making and the streets are filled with ugly black slush.
The holidays are over and my son has gone back to Hawaii with his new wife. The time for him to deploy to Iraq grows ever nearer and he doesn't call me much anymore.
I know, I know...will someone please call the WAHMBULANCE?!
Then we have the -- dare I say it -- crazy woman hormones. Actually, I think it's probably more like a good case of Seasonal Affective Disorder. I need sunshine!
But you know what I've discovered really, really does help me? A cocktail of Super B Complex, 1000 IUs of Vitamin E, and Salmon Oil. Don't ask me why, but when I stopped taking it for a couple of weeks, all the ugly symptoms hit me hard and heavy, but within a week of resuming the vitamins, I felt 100% better again.
Now that you know more about me than you ever wanted to know, I'll move on to a happier subject. I'm working with a writing partner on a western novel and we are within one chapter of being done with the rough draft, then on to the polishing and editing.
I never thought I'd like to write with another person but I'm really enjoying writing with my friend because he's a man and I don't have to worry about whether or not I'm saying things the way a man would say them. I think we've come up with a really good balance in our writing and brainstorming, and he is the soul of patience with me.
Hopefully, we'll have this manuscript completely finished within a short time.
Well, I'm making beef lentil soup and cornbread for dinner. Maybe some comfort food will make me feel better.
But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.

OOHHHHHHHHH someone else writing a western novel! Hooray! Let's bring them back--I'm also working on a western, for children.
Maybe you just have cabin fever! It's no fun with kids tracking in snow. Being stuck inside is no fun unless you can snuggle under a quilt and read all day.
Hope the comfort food helped. I'm really enjoying your blog!
LOL, the whambulance! Makes me laugh every time. I don't blame you, though. It's hard to be separated from the people you love. I do hope you're feeling better since Monday.
Always nice to meet a fellow Heathen. I write Western fanfic. Sounds a bit better than saying I write Heath stories (-;
