Odds and Ends from Me

Hi Everyone!

It's been a while since I've done a check in but there's been a lot happening. With my financial situation, I've just been struggling so much, but things are now on the upswing. A huge weight has been lifted from me and I can breathe again. My disability finally came through so very soon I won't have to wake up with all that stress. The bills will be paid. What a relief!

Cassie's been just fine since those scary seizures a while back. I'm so grateful for that. It's so hard to watch her when that happens. I'm always on the smell out for skunks because it's highly possible they are the source of the seizures. My dogs are my joys, and they keep me smiling.

I'm watching So You Think You Can Dance and they've been doing some of the past routines from past seasons. I've been wondering why the Mercy number with the door that Twitch and Lacey did hadn't been featured yet. They did the routine tonight, only Katie performed it instead of Lacey. I'm curious why Lacey didn't perform. It has nothing to do with Dancing with the Stars because Chelsea's been on at least twice doing routines and she's also part of the DWTS family.

Please remember to use the links to Amazon.com on the right hand side of this blog. No matter what you're buying, if you start by using that link, I'll benefit from it. Even with the disability coming through, I still need to earn some money. Over on Review Stream, I'm now one of their featured authors so it's much easier to find my reviews there now, if you're interested. You can click on my name there, read my profile, and then click on the link to my reviews. It's really easy now.

I'm off to start work on a fan fic story. I can't wait to immerse myself back into my universe. It's so therapeutic, and I just treasure everyone associated with it.

One more thing. Please don't support tabloid trash. When you buy an issue or read a headline and pass that untruth on, you are supporting hurtful nonsense. People like Patrick Swayze have to deal with that nonsense when they should be focused on their health and getting well. They have families, and those family members have to endure this craziness. Please don't be a part of hurting the Swayzes or any other celebrity. Yes they are in public domain, but they are also human beings.

Have a great day!

Any Ideas?

Just wondering if anyone has ideas how else I could earn some money on the internet. I'm doing everything I can think of that allows me to earn cash, but the kitty is about empty, and June is going to be a disaster. I'm not sure I'm gonna survive this one. Obviously, there still hasn't been any word from the disability folks. It's taking so long. I thought I'd know by now, that I'd be able to make it until being approved, but now I don't think I'm going to be able to. Just had a big fight with my sister over it. She helps in ways that make sense to her but that doesn't necessarily fall in line where I feel I need the help, like cash to pay the bills. We're just so different. I just don't know what else I can do, given the specifics of my situation. Ideas are always welcome, the more immediate the better.

This is April?

94 degrees! That's what it's been for the last two days here. I can't wait for the cool down. I think someone let summer out the door a bit early!

I needed a break from all the review writing, even though money continues to be a desperate situation for me. I just really needed to work on some fan fic. I pulled out the Holding Our Breaths fic. That's a season 6 story based on the Descent episode, Danielized, of course. It feels so incredibly good to be writing. It's not close to being published, and I'm afraid I have to go back to survival mode now, but I have made progress.

Speaking of my universe, just watched Celtic Women on Dancing with the Stars. Some of you may remember that Celtic Women is the group that inspired Aislinn to sing, especially Chloe. Maybe there's a ficlet in there somewhere.

Still no word on the disability. It sure takes a long time. I'm lucky to have a roof over my head. How do families survive today? I just don't know. It's time to reapply for food stamps, though. I guess that's an annual thing. I can't tell you how much I hate having to do this stuff, but here I am, with no choice and trying to hold on for survival. If not for my angels who have kept me afloat, I don't know where I'd be.

I'll have more later, once it cools down!
