A tiny bit of a scare

My right thigh started hurting yesterday. The scare is I have some serious varicose veins there and that can lead to clots. It wasn't red. It wasn't hot. I hadn't hit it. Then today it hit me, this is the same area that's numb. I have arthritis in my spine and it irritates the nerve. Well it's gone from numb to OMG DIE from me having to stand for so many hours without rest. It's nerve pain. Scare over. I know what this is. I can hack this.

I forgot to mention Mom called me yesterday in the middle of NCIS. Mom - PENDERGAST! They called the FBI agent Pendergast (for those who don't read Preston Child's Pendergast novels, They're about FBI Special Agent Pendergast and have a slight paranormal (or not) slant to them).

Me -Yes I heard.

Mom- Bet they read those books. Pendergast. (giggles and hangs up to go back to watching)

Me- ....geek

I've started another Goodreads Win...and it's SO bad grammar wise I had to go look to see if it was a self pub. I rarely put in for those (not that I think all self pubs suck. I just don't have good luck with most, though I did read a very good one this year). It's not. It's an indie publisher. Now I'm scared. Within the first ten pages there has been info dumping, NO hypens where needed (elf like, muffin shaped), one sentence that was actually 5 with missed punctuation and boy's instead of boys. It's reading like they published draft one. Wow. This is going to be painful.

And just in time for Nano a Terrible Minds' blog post Writers write to tell us to stop whining about why we can't write and just Do It. (sadly I'm about thru with his novel too and I don't like it).

Taking secrets to the grave

sad but kind Can't imagine being this poor girl but kudos to her coaches.

Zack & Scotty’s has gyros. This is a BAD thing. I shall want one. I had one 1 hour after learning that existed. It wasn't the best I've ever had but it was good. I do like supporting them because they are very kind and generous to our students. Also the only thing from stopping me from the heart attack sub is I can't eat that much (not the totally unhealthy nature. No if it were smaller, I'd eat it).

I have a guest on my blog with a very different sort of book and a good post about dealing with homophobia here. Brynn is also doing a giveaway so stop by.

Mom- Guess what I got today?

Me - do I get a hint?

Mom - X-Men Days of Future Past

Me - that's not a hint. That's you telling me. I haven't seen that one yet.

Mom - Me either but I own all the rest. It has Wolverine in it. It'll be good. WOLVERINE.

Me - ...geek

I thought I was going to Chillicothe for veterans training on monday. I said I would drive myself (rather than drive with the provost since I feel uncomfortable doing that). Turns out it's north of COLUMBUS. 100 miles way. I'll have to leave here before 8 AM. Screw this. I'm taking cash and stopping at the casino on the way back.
