I was writing up the description for my appearance on SFF News and Interviews this Thursday, and described it as fun, weird and slightly random. Which, I realize now, is me in a nutshell.
Not that I mind. It makes things more interesting and far more entertaining. For me, anyway.
Last week was a lot of catching up, although not nearly as much as I’d have liked. Some interesting bits in an “I could have done without this!” sort of way (No, I do not WANT to have to put a new roof on the house, thank you!) This week will be still more catching up — I’ve already made two important phone calls. There was also one very confusing call asking why my dentist thinks we have a time machine:
Dentist: “You are confirmed for this appointment that happened today, two hours ago! See you then!”
Me; “Ah… your scheduling software appears to be having a stroke. What is this?”
Dentist: “Oh… umm… oops?”
This is the second to last thing on my to-do list before I can focus completely on King of Swords. The last thing is physical therapy intake. Yes, again. Apparently the degenerating disc in my back got on some nerve’s last nerve, and what I initially thought was a pulled muscle is actually sciatica. So i start PT today, and tomorrow I get an MRI. I go back to pain management in two weeks, and we’ll see where things go from there. Which means I really do need to get this book DONE, just in case things go in weird and not-fun directions.
I very much prefer the weird and fun directions, don’t you?
