There’s something about a cloudy overcast day that feels calming. I’ve been bed all day with my drapes open and windows slightly cracked. There is no real breeze to speak of, but the cool air feels nice.  I’ve not watched a minute of television.  It’s been a day of reading, writing and sleeping.  My phone has been eerily quiet, but I’m not complaining. I’ve rather enjoyed it.  Although…

Every time I open my eyes from a nap, someone in my family is leaning in to make sure that I’m still breathing, it’s borderline comical. You’d think they’d know by now that CFS doesn’t kill. Also, why is it when you’re not feeling well people offer you water?  I’m not thirsty my body hurts.

I’ve been craving spicy foods but my stomach doesn’t like them when I’m having a flare-up.  I’ve actually eaten very little today. I’ve heard that chicken broth and Jell-O are on the menu tonight.  I’m not sure if I’m in jail or a hospital. They probably don’t serve chicken broth in prison…right?

I finished my book.  Now I’m waiting to hear something…anything.  I’m more excited about it than I was when I started writing it two years ago.  The anticipation is killing me.  I’m hoping they really really love it.  Getting a book published is such a monumental task.  I could have taken the self-publishing route, but I prefer having a proven giant behind my effort.

Now that I’ve got that one out of the way, I’m going to work on my Facebook diary book.  I think this one is going to be my favorite.  There are several FB personas that I’m excited to write about.  They are larger than life, mostly in their own heads. Although, they are diametrically different, their egos are equal in size.  One tries to take the spiritual ‘good guy’ approach and the other one is just born of evil…sick and twisted.  I have a title for it already, thanks to an awesome friend.  Stay tuned for it! I might post excerpts here.

My house is about to get noisy for a few hours.  People cooking, cleaning and doing stuff for me.  I can’t think or write under those conditions, so I’m signing off until…
