Tough Elements
After a nice night of chocolate, talking, dancing, and photo-ops on the jet ski with fellow LJ'ers, I promised myself to get back to posting here. My life has become a bit dizzied up by some tough elements, including being sick and not getting enough sleep. It's kept me away from writing, so I promise to get back on track.

So, I made myself get to bed early last night. Ten p.m. I stayed awake until well after eleven, thinking about STUFF. I took a Benadryl, hoping it would conk me out. Hoped for a lot of things, really, like sweet dreams. Nope.

Yesterday, the War of the Worlds birthday party was a lot of fun. Patrick took Orion out to McDonald's while I hung up the decorations I'd made of the Martian machines, etc. We kept the party small--just family--but he had his two boy cousins to run around with and a gorgeous day to be outside. He got a cool Star Wars At-At, a pogo stick, a bike, 2 light sabers, a dice game, shirts. . .a good haul for a 5 year old!

Editing PALMS this morning, currently on chapter 70. Today, a busy day planned for cleaning the house of birthday clutter, pulling weeds and not letting Orion see me cry when the need hits me.
