Holiday Updates

I am really excited about the fact that my weigh in this morning was 259.4. I am stoked that I am no longer in the 260s. That sucked and now I am no longer there. In between working on my diet and stuff it seems to be working. That is pretty nice.

Job wise, I am still in Limbo with the IRS but I have heard that they just started talking to people, which is fucked up. I mean I applied in September. So I am still applying for things and I hope that I hear back from something.

Still no word from the person I sent the query letter to. I guess I should move on to someone else. Maybe I should just send stuff to publishers first? I am not sure. Since I don't know the business I figured that an Agent would be a first good step. Perhaps I should just go right to the publishers and see what happens from there? Who knows.

I realized the other day that I need to work more on my faith as I feel a bit cut adrift in things and that isn't a good thing. That might help with the sense of disquiet I feel.

So there you go, a quick update to see how I am and what is going on.

Wow... over a month with nothing... sorry all five of my diligent readers. ;)

Anyway, news. Have started swimming again, which is a great goodness. Life has been on the crazy side so getting back to something I do honestly love is a good thing.

The House is being dealt with and no more trips up and back necessary for quite a while, which is good. We have to sell the place, but that can be dealt with fairly easily and with little stress. So, go us. That is a lot less stress than before and it has been a godsend.

I am on a new VA program called Telehealth. I have a little box hooked up to a scale and my computer. I basically weigh in a lot and do stuff daily on it. I think the idea is to keep it focused in your mind that you want to lose weight. Not a bad plan and it is worth a shot. I have lost some, as I was up to 267-268 and now am back to 261. That is a lot better for my mental health to see I am losing.

No news on the job front, which is depressing. I need to expand my search for work and then hopefully get a job that I can do and that I can get benefits from, so my family has coverage. That will be very nice.

On the writing front I have a new story that I think is very marketable. There is a lot of energy to it and the weird energy feelings I have had seem to be connected to it. The idea is pretty cool and seems to have loads of potential. I am looking forward to getting it done. Right now I am trying to finish 300 Rains.

I have not heard back from that one agent I sent something to nor have I heard back from Hillary's agent. So it goes.

That's it basically, my life in a nutshell.

Glad to be back.
