NO TIME TO BE INSECURE ABOUT WRITING....

HI All,

Well another month has sailed by. We are in OCTOBER...can you believe it!

Thanks for all the warm wishes during my kidney stone attack. Thankfully that has been resolved, but once again I have been inflicted with crippling arthritis, this time in the shoulders. What a living nightmare. But we must persevere and not let it get to us.

This past month has been one crazy ride. First, I closed on my new condo... YAY... I even managed to have the new flooring and carpets installed and tore out the kitchen in record time_under two weeks. But I couldn't finish the painting because of my arthritis and I have to wait a month for my new kitchen. Moving was a HORROR, but thankfully I lived through it. Now the fun begins, digging myself out of all the boxes piled high all over the place!

So with health issues, moving, etc. I haven't had time to think about writing. After the excitement of the PITCH, sadly nothing materialized, BUT, I was still thrilled to be chosen and apparently I still have my work cut of for me before publication. As we ALL KNOW, each of us has a different journey. Once I settle I will back into writing...

Please visit the other IWSG members. We all have so much to share and learn... 

Thanks Alex...as always, you are a guiding light for us all. If you are not yet a member, visit Alex's blog to sign up!

I hope everyone is HEALTHY and enjoying the new season....

From one crappy ailment to the next - sorry about your shoulder. Plus a move on top of it. You're one tough cookie to handle it all. Sorry the pitch didn't work out for you. It's all in the timing.

Glad you finally moved into your condo. Hope it's what you have been searching for. Hope your health gets better and that you can get back into your writing.

So much going on! Sorry about the shoulder and the pitch but yeah on the closing. Health is so darn important (annoyingly so) so take care!

Oh Michael! What a bad time for a move. Hope you are up to unpacking and painting soon. How's your puppy adjusting?

Glad you're moved, hope sorting through and organizing go quickly. I hate chaos. I'm so sorry about the arthritis. God, getting old isn't for sissies, is it?

Glad to hear that you've settled again, Michael.
Sorry that nothing materialized from the Pitch... it will happen, one day...
How's your fur baby enjoying the new place?

Am taking a break, but had to stop by and see what was up on the first Wed. in October. Have a great month, Michael.

A NEW condo?! Congratulations! Gosh, I've missed talking with you, but life, as you know has been hectic and stress filled. I'm so glad you're feeling better, but now I want to know all about this new place. Are there pictures? Where is it? We've got to catch up soon!

Sorry about your health problems. I hope that doesn't hold you back from writing for long.
