That's a load off my back.

My novel is back to the editor AND I sent in my steampunk novella. Read more about all that here I'm rather proud of myself and thank you to evil_little_dog on her help with both of them as well as wildrider, havocmangawip and mamculuna for their help as well.


Balancing this is my students inability to answer even the simplest of questions (what is the name of fracture that goes thru the skin) then blame me for killing their dreams.

And tonight after getting out of the tub, getting a scare. Almost my entire plantar arch on my left foot decided it didn't want skin.



It is worse than the blurry picture looks. All that white you see in the arch going from ball of the foot to heel is dead. The skin under it is fine (this is part of the dishydrotic eczema) but with diabetes it could be anything. I have no idea what caused it. I usually get like this when it's hot (okay it did warm back up to the 60's but sheesh). The skin under it is tender as hell though. Whimpers. I don't need to be on my feet all day tomorrow. (Yeesh look at all those varicose veins around my ankle. my body is just breaking down around me)

No declutter or anything today since I spent the night either staring at my computer barely writing or grading exams and getting that novella out the door. Still, all things considered, I'm happy. It's been too long since I've had something published. A YEAR. That's terrible.

You should be absolutely proud. Great news.

[mamculuna.livejournal.com]

Eek. I guess you know more about feet than the rest of LJ combined, but that is scary. Hope it heals really quickly!

And YAY for getting the edits back! Going to be a great book.

A friend's brandnew grandson is named Rhys....

Congrats on getting both stories to the publisher! Hope there's more good news to follow.

Your foot looks creepy. Ouch.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

my foot feels creepy I had to put a sock on it it to keep the skin from catching in the sheets

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Ewwwwww ewwwww ewwww.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thanks

Don't like feet? Well who would like this foot. I scared the students with it today

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

it''l be e fine. It does this all summer but not usually so badly

thank you. I hope so

cool. It's gaining popularity here (I think it's one of the most popular in Wales)

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thanks

Congrats on getting both to the publisher/ A worthy acomplishment.

Hopefully your foot will heal up all right.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I just signed the contract for the novella!


MORE of my stupid foot came off. I was using it to scare students earlier. Might as well have fun with it

[a2zmom.livejournal.com]

My dear, you have an odd definition of fun. 9=)

Which students don't know what a compound fracture is? Not nursing, I hope, because that's kind of important to know. Well, maybe pre-med would be worse. I'd be more freaked out if my doctor couldn't name the fracture than if the nurse couldn't (but there's no excuse for either of them).

But killing dreams is why you exist, right? It has absolutely nothing to do with lack of effort ;).

I'm glad you told me that was a picture of a foot. I had no idea--and from the description, I'm kind of glad I can't see it very clearly. Hope it heals/toughens up soon.

Congratulations on getting stuff to the editor. Any idea when it'll appear in print?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

It was BOTH pre-meds and nurses (along with pharamicists and pre-vets). SAD.

Yep that's me, dream killer

it's a nasty blurry foot (I don't know why this camera has SUCH issues with close ups)

thanks. The novel is due Jan/Feb according to the contract. I have no idea on the novella

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

that has been said before

[sillymagpie.livejournal.com]

Agh! Sorry about your foot.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

the foot is sad looking
