No writerly ways this time

I'm working up to a big announcement there. And I'm hoping to do something a little different with Soldiers of the Sun (which is nearing its conclusion) and Kaleo's story (which is just beginning) i.e. NOT waiting until I'm ready to send it out to give it to a beta reader then pace around anxiously. If anyone would like to read either story chapter at a time, let me know (as we can work out something in return). Thanks again to evil_little_dog, mamculuna and havocmangawip for generous donating time and effort to get Kept Tears ready

I spent the whole day working on exams. I'm brain dead. I started the day that way. I hate heat. It's not even THAT hot and I'm already not sleeping and then over sleeping at inappropriate times. I loathe this. I couldn't get out of bed today which tells me all I need to know. I didn't sleep well even when I was out.

So this in tonight: My 97 year old Grandmother's reason for not liking her new assisted living home, 'There's not enough men.' Oh geez....that's because they're all DEAD. Also everyone there is just too old for her. Um.....

Other than that the Black Dog came to sit with me this afternoon. I hate when that happens. I think a lot of it is PMS. Hormones make you crazy.

Well that and the relentless grind of my student loans making my salary unlivable. The good news is only 3 more car payments. that'll help.

I changed out my shower curtain finally (only bought it back in march...) I'm in so much pain now. Some days I really have to wonder about my ability to buy a house. then again I swear my best bet here is to buy land, toss up a double wide. They usually last well for 20 years. By then i'll be ready for senior housing...

Mom and I are going to Vegas soon. She told Dad tonight. Naturally he's not happy (he doesn't want to go and so neither should she). I'm looking at Harrah's or The Quad for a hotel as Mirage is too $$$ and I don't want to walk the whole strip. Anyone know anything about either??
