Sick-O-Writing

  I stayed home sick, today.  My throat is killing me, full of gunk, my head is swimmy, my stomach rolling, and my body achy and limp.  So, I curled up on the couch once the kids were off to school, thinking I would sleep my entire day away.  I had made myself a steaming cup of TheraFlu, in hopes that it would calm my angry throat enough for me to get some actual sleep.  Instead, the writing bug bit me.  So, I pulled out my notebooks, and , while I didn't necessarily get anything new done, I did get everything pulled together on Word, and then uploaded to my website.  I know there are still some tweaks I'll need to do on it, to make it run a little smoother in places, but all in all, I'm pretty happy with it. 

Right now I'm to the part in the story where nothing really big is happening.  So, I am trying to figure out where to go with this part.. what is going on, and how do I transfer to the next stage, which is a few years later, and then again to a few more years?  The time span, and having to jump years multiple times in the story is what has gotten my feathers all matted and bunched.  My brain feels like it's been dipped in tar.  I will figure it out eventually though. 

But, I just wanted you to know that while I may not have been writing here, I was writing!  Productively!

I made this great decision, and here I am, still not writing. I had every intention of doing so yesterday, but then got all caught up in chopping my Christmas tree to bits, and cleaning. I am constantly finding stuff to clean. I'm completely ADHD that way... I can't tell you how many times I walked into the kitchen to make myself breakfast, and found dishes to wash, or something to rearrange, or laundry that needed to be taken to the laundry area, then of course laundry to start, but there was stuff in the dryer, so that needs to be folded and put away, then I clean the bathroom, then while I'm washing my hands I remember I was hungry, so I go back to the kitchen, and open the freezer, realize I need to take inventory, and do some rearranging, and ... well, you get the point. I started trying to make myself something to eat at around 10am. I think it was closer to 1pm before I finally ate. LOL! The craziest part about it is- my house is still in need of cleaning!

ANYWAY! I've got ideas floating in my head. Different stories swarming around in there. Not anything I would write here. That is what my www.thaydra.com site is for. This is for what I do for the writing prompts, and the daily writing that I've been saying I'm going to start. Uh-hem. I digress..

My thoughts and stories are like toddlers, toddling around in there, being all crazy, falling over one another, laughing and poking and pulling hair, pooping and painting the walls with it, eating and spitting and throwing the food on the floor because it's absolutely hysterical when the dog licks it up. Yep, that is my thought process. Sometimes I can round them up and get them to sit quietly for a moment. Pop on some Barney or Wiggles or Mr. Roger's Neighborhood. But mostly they are just wild, insane banshees, totally and utterly out of control!

I'll get around to this eventually! Maybe tonight! I make no promises.
