. Nice accomplishment.

I am reading "Bride 2 Be"   by Purple Catching Up so I can refresh my memory, tweak things as I get close to where I left off so I can finish writing this one. It's strange to me that each book in this series seems to be a little bit better/stronger than the last one. I still A Perfect Fit best. And I did pretty well with sales on Amazon so I cannot complain.

I heard from Smexy today!! So nice to see my old gang of crazy chatties making a return to wdc. Welcome back Sciwriter .

My son is getting married! It's totally surreal at this point. His bride to be is in Lebanon, so wedding planning is strange. I mean I'm in the US, so we are spending all of our time on whatsapp, sending voice clips, and photos as things move forward for a December wedding overseas. There's so much to do. We've been looking forward to this for a few years, but now that's it's really happening, is HUGE. I have a check list of things I need to do before all of that happens. Getting my body in shape is one of those items. I still have good and bad days since surgery. I tire so easily. Makes me nuts most days when I have no energy to do much of anything.

Last week I decided I was cleaning out my truck. Spent all morning Tuesday cleaning the carpet, and getting out stains from work boots, winter, etc and cigarette ash. It gets so filthy. And then of course my thumb reacted in protest. It's still sore, so I don't think I'm going to make that 20 years post hand surgery where it's not supposed to be a problem. I knew I'd never get my strength back in my thumb, but damn can that digit hurt like a beast when I over use it.

It's a work day. Must rush off to get myself presentable. Need to figure out which contests I'll be writing for this week. Way too early in the "I Write" contests to be slacking off already.

Happy Crappy Monday all
