puppetmakerI feel like I need to take a breath and step back to give my mind some time to wind down. Right now my mind is in overdrive and I am having a hard time keeping up.
I have a feeling that a piece of paper is in my near future so I can do a brain dump and maybe calm down the noise that is going on in my head.
I had to take one of the cats in to the Vet this morning so I have had coffee at this point but I am keeping the title. Vanillie is over grooming himself and losing weight so we went to have him checked out. The vet is concerned about the cat so tests were done and I was given pills to help with what seems to be an allergic reaction.
The other cats seem fine. In fact they are fighting over an open window right now. Fig gave up and went to another open window.
Sports hasn’t held much interest for me right now. I know the lockout is still going on. The Heat won the first game in the NBA finals. The Canucks beat the Bruins. The Mets are not doing well at all both in terms of injury and as a team.
DragonCon and Shoreleave are looming but first Field Day at Caroline’s school. I have done a chunk of the leg work but I need to get some feed back so I know what I need to do next. Then onto the rest of the piles of things I need to do.
Anyone know any anthologies looking for entries? I have a couple of stories worked out but don’t really know where to look.
Peter is working on the next Fable novel. He has hit the point where I start just tossing food down into the office and we don’t see him very much.
Some days I wish that people would be made responsible for what they say on the Internet. Yes, this is one of those days. I think if they knew that their companies and family could see what they are saying, they might think really hard before saying it.
Honestly everything I say here I would say in public. I don’t hide. The person you see here is the person you would meet or have met in person. And I know that seems to put me in the minority of the denizens of the Internet but I think people are better than some of the slimy behavior I am currently have to wade through.
I need to go find Vanillie because he has vanished on me.
I am grateful for things that make my kitties feel better.

Because as Arthur Miller wrote "Because it is my name! Because I cannot have another in my life!"
When you can have as many as you like....it's not easy to remain honest.

Date: 2011-06-02 06:14 pm (UTC)It sounds like you have a LOT to keep up with! I really admire the way that you manage to keep up with it all. I fear i have a tendency to fall way behind on some things and then i scramble to make up for it.
The little dude has a field day coming up, too. The Pixie had hers a coupe weeks back.
As for internet behavior, I know I am a little different online. I don't say my kids' names, and I try not to swear very much (even though I do in person if children aren't present). I also decided not to share as much about feelings as I once did, and keep things more private.

Date: 2011-06-02 07:28 pm (UTC)I guess I basically don't swear when I am online or if I do it is very rare. In person I have been known to speak fluent swear. I tend not to swear in front of people unless they are friends that I have known a long time.
Oh I should have that article to you probably tomorrow or Saturday.
