This week has been a downhill plummet. It started out well, and energetic, then our pup got sick, the washer started leaking, and I’ve not been feeling well. BUT despite this, I wrote more than I did last week, just not as much as I wanted to, damn it.
Author's Life:
Sunday was Easter and enjoyable, Bella got her easter bone to rip the remnants of the ham off, which may have given her tummy issues. She was okay Monday, I even took her with me to go grocery shopping that am, but I noticed her poop wasn’t as solid as it should be, and chalked it up to the ham she had the day before. We had a good time out, then I sat down and wrote A LOT (see next section for how much).
Tuesday, Bella had the runs all day, into Wednesday, which meant I didn’t get to sleep or write much between jumping up to take her outside. 😣Wednesday, I had to skip my usually game with my Australian friends as I was far too loopy and having to take Bella out still for that. I also called her vet and got her an appointment on Thursday at 4. She had continued to have issues (and still does).
The Vet gave us special food for her (Plus antibiotic and probiotic), but after the first time eating the food, she refuses to. So, she’s back to eating her regular food, though she doesn’t eat as normal. She’s pecking and grazing instead of eating it all at once. She’s making me anxious, and nervous, while I’m also sleep deprived from being on High Alert for if she needs to go out.
Last night, Dale and I went on a date, the first in a few weeks, even though Bella was sick. We’d planned it last Friday, and couldn’t reschedule. I put a towel in her cage, cause I knew I’d have to wash the cage and her if I didn’t. Ten minutes after putting the towel and a few others in the washer, the washer was leaking. But we found out this morning after I did a huge clean out of the laundry room, that it’s not the washer. It’s running like it should, but when it drains, the pipes don’t drain fast enough (we have that issue with the shower too).
So, we have to contact the landlord about doing something about them. Whether that’s snaking them to unclog them or getting a plumber in to look at it. That’s his choice, but just putting drain-o (or stronger) down them is no longer working.
Now, to the fun stuff!
The work Life:
Writing:
I’ve been working on Miseria’s book again and getting close to finishing… I think. It was at 40,000 last week, and it’s now at 64,466 words! That’s 24,466 words and 14,590 of those were done in one 9 hour session on Monday night into Tuesday morning, which surpassed what I wrote the whole week before.
