Just Trying To Keep The Momentum Going

We've just finished two weeks of the most hellish job I've ever done since starting with this company in 2011. I have never been so grateful to see the back of anything like it. In the 80 hours we worked for this project, only 20 of them were our actual job. The other 60 were as parking attendant, standing for hours at a time in the cold, heat and rain.

The one redeeming factor (aside from the money) was that TheHubs™ and I spent one day thrashing through my third book. It was fascinating working through plot holes and blind doubles, and he's brilliant at that sort of thing. I remember almost everything we spoke about, but I deeply regret not having a notebook there.

The constant standing on asphalt has taken its toll on my physically. I still have shooting pains down my legs, and I'm not sleeping worth a damn because of muscle cramps and spasms. We have another full, but less physically demanding week ahead of us, so no rest for the wicked.

To ease the pain, I've been dabbling around with The Masque's Holiday Erotica story contest. It's great fun, and for erotica writers should be a blast. The deadline is December 15, and the prize is a lot of kinky goodies and I'm just dying to win. However, I'd also like a lot of competition, so if you fancy a wicked toy or two, click HERE for details. It's sex and Christmas - what could be better?

I am champing at the bit to decorate, but I won't have a chance until next week. Expect to be bombarded with the usual Christmas photos.

It is so nice that you work hand in hand with your husband.

It really is! We do work well together. Of course, every once in awhile we have friction, but that's normal. I'm just so grateful to have him with me and showing better and better health ♥

I can see that. I'm really happy he is getting better.

Ugh! What's with all the standing out in the weather? No wonder you feel bad.

Thank you, sweetie! Good grief, what a couple of weeks! I am so grateful for the job, and the money, of course, but I just kept thinking, "There's got to be a better way to make a living!"

Thankfully, we're all bundled up and cozy now, so no harm done.

Sorry to hear about the lousy work. Hopefully by now you’re feeling better.
