Holy frickin' hurricane Hannah!

My life has been like a frickin' hurricane lately. I am literally so busy that I'm even unable to get  to a computer. That's astoundingly busy. It's hard for me to sum everything up as so much time has past, but I'll do my best.

Libraries are under appreciated - I recently got a new library membership. It's only been about 3 years int he making, can't believe I waited that long. It's bringing back a lot of memories form when I used to work in one of those oft forgotten book repositories. Anyway, With the membership I've been spending more time actually using the library and wondering how I got by without it. I don't care what anyone says, there's is one good solid reason, aside form good of the community etc., that every person should have a library membership: Free movie rentals.

Working like a dog - Remember a little while back I mentioned i'd be taking on a little part time job for a little extra pay to supplement my writing. Hahahahahahaha. Part time is now exceeding 40 hours. I like the job, so I'm not complaining.

Business opportunities? - An unexpected business offer came form an unexpected source recently. If I go through with this it could really shake things up in my life, hopefully for the better. I'm looking at devoting more attention to that in the near future and exploring the possibilities. If anything comes of it you'll read bout it here,

King David layed low - Yes I know "layed" is incorrect. Anyway, seriously, and the biggest, like 95% of the reason I've not been around is that Pam's dad has been in the hospital. At one point it did not look like he was going to make it. Over the last couple weeks he's made an amazing recovery and is getting around now, but still hospitalized. We've spent much of our time in the last few weeks visiting his bedside. He's expected to come home soon though.

House in disarray - Since we've only been home to work and sleep and spent the rest of our time out of town visiting Dave in the hospital the house turned into a wasteland. For weeks wihtout any time for cleaning grabage and dishes and pet hair and laundry and general nastiness has pilled up. I've been using the time that I do have off work to clean and today I've finally turned the corner and have 90% of it caught up, allowing us to move about the house and get on the computer. It's a challenge since Dave's dog has been living with us too. She's a handful on top of the pets we already have. I'm weeks behind on my freelance work and now I'll have to try and get caught up as quickly as possible on that.
