It’s the little things that really drive it home when you’re not running at full capacity. Things like… picking up something you’ve dropped when you’re not allowed to BEND, for example.
I had my first post-surgical followup with the neurosurgeon last week, and she’s pleased with how I’m doing. I’m still on restrictions — no bending, twisting or lifting anything heavier than a gallon of milk for another two weeks. No pool for another two weeks. But I’m tapering off the medication (can’t stop it abruptly. Bad Things Happen.), and I’m being referred out for physical and occupational therapy. I’m planning on waiting to start those until I can drive myself, which will happen once I’m no longer on the fuzzy-making medication three times a day.
Right now, my return to work date is set for the last week of July/first week of August, and will start with my newsletter coming out. That doesn’t mean that I’m not currently doing SOME business related things. Just… they’re all little things. I’m planning a new series (slowly, because fuzzy brains). I did my quarterly taxes today. I closed up my shop at Native Home Marketplace at the end of our contract in June. I love the shop and the people there, but there wasn’t enough of a return on investment to warrant another year. However, if you’re in the area, you should head to the Volusia Mall and check them out! Today, Darling Editor and I are working on a mid-year inventory. And later this week, when I have more of a brain, I need to do my mid-year business plan review.
Yes, I have a business plan. I couldn’t tell you what was on it at the moment, but I have a plan.
Is it a clever plan? Ehhhh…..
Ask me again when I’m not fuzzy.

New Cover!
Time for a new look on an older book.
When Delan stumbled into the Temple, he wasn’t expecting to be welcomed as a Temple servant. He wasn’t expecting his only duty to be to serve Lyander, cloistered son of the High Priestess. He wasn’t expecting to fall in love.
And he wasn’t expecting that he was going to have to choose: save his love, or save the world.
