hello chaotic self...

(at least i have a cute doggie who snuggles with me :) )

It's been quite a while since I've felt like myself- since my body has waged war on me, really.
Why? I don't know. I exercise, eat right, haven't globetrotted anywhere in these last few months, pretty much no stress (yeah, yeah, insert world's smallest violin here, I know...)

Oh, one cause of stress: my book coming out in bookstores, see here

To make matters- interesting- it started to hurt my entire body when typing so I was inspired to visit my Mom's Holistic Doctor.

Monday was my first time receiving acupuncture. I was not relaxed, and almost immediately I got a case of the itchies. In my ear, on my cheek, on my forehead...but the doc told me not to move.

So, I didn't.

The second part of my therapy is tea. The tea is geared toward my 100 ailments- she gears them individually towards each patient and they have an almost immediate effect. However-

it's gross. Vile. Ew.

The doc told me to just suck it down and not think about it. Twice a day until this coming Monday.

I finished my third cup today.

I've had a disgusting cramp in my leg- which could be any number of things but other than that, I've been feeling a teeny weeny bit better.

I'll catch you up ASAP!

Hope you're all feeling wonderful and please shoot me 'feel good' vibes :)

Love me,
the globetrotting gamine

A Glimpse...

This is where I work. Writing & Creating- with a cup o'joe or tea. Today's tea? Celestial Seasoning's Tension Tamer! Ah...

I stare at flowers while I work...

I've been mixing drinks at night for fun. It's always been on my list of things to do, so for the first time, I'm doing it!

Of course, thrown in to the mix of the day is what I want to be doing vs. what I should be doing.

It's perfect fall weather today- the kind of weather where one is almost SURE that magic is going to happen. Also, the kind of weather that one would like to fall asleep in. We hit the snooze button three times today.

My husband has been working like a dog, thus he is going to get sick like one. Today, he forgot his cough medicine at home. We'll stay in tonight (TGIF!) so we can be refreshed for the weekend's events.

My grandmother is still in the hospital. All the doctors there are giving her the run-around because they want to keep her there for observations; meanwhile, she's bored. Everyone in the family is running all over the place to get things done. I can't say it's easy, but I heard today she's coming home. Let's see...

A long time ago, someone told me it doesn't matter what you write, just make sure your words get out there. So, now there out there, but is anyone listening? I keep wondering what to do with my completed books...send out query letters or wait for copyright paperwork? Advice would be greatly appreciated but in the meantime...

Gingerbread cookies are about to go in the oven...my fur-friend is sleeping. What I need to do today? Everything? What I probably will do? Bake.

Blessed Be,

MG
