The State of Spooky

[agt_spooky]

Hi all! Just wanted to pop in here for a minute. I'm sorry I dropped off the face of the earth for the past two weeks. My friend Tina gave me a poke over the weekend because it'd been so long since I'd posted anything, and she wanted to know if everything was okay.

Things are okay. Now. Not so much two weeks ago when things at work were so bad I thought I was going to have a nervous breakdown. That's how bad it was for a week straight. I would come home each night exhausted from the stress, had headaches nearly every day and couldn't focus on anything. I was a zombie.

I tried to relax over the long 4th of July weekend and clear my mind. It worked somewhat but then things at work started all over again last Tuesday. Thankfully by last Thursday things had settled down, and Friday was my first stress free day in two weeks. I felt like I could finally breathe.

In the midst of all this, I'm under a deadline to finish my next ebook by the end of July. I couldn't even write for nearly a week because I couldn't concentrate. So now every free moment I have I'm trying to write at a furious pace to get myself back on track.

And then I was dealing with my car situation. I made a huge mistake four years ago, trading in my Mustang for the Dodge Caliber. I've pretty much hated that car ever since. I finally paid it off on Friday and immediately set out to trade it in for something else. Guess what I bought on Saturday? Another Mustang! LOL! Check it out:

I'm absolutely in love with it and no longer hate driving! :-)

So that's the State of Spooky right now. I've finally gotten my head above water and am no longer drowning. I hope to get back to posting regularly again, especially after I've finished writing this new book.

I'm sorry I've missed out on YOUR lives for the past two weeks. So tell me how you are! Anything new, fun, or exciting going on??

HUGS, everyone!!

I'm glad to hear you are above water again!!!! I check on your posts every morning! We just recently purchased a priusV: we donated our Suburban to a youth group only to find out that there was lean on it from 20 years ago that should have been cleared up by the lean company (out of business) and B of A (assholes, and boy do I not use that term lightly!) so Kevin has his summer to fix this problem! Gives him something to battle! Not all teachers embrace their summers off the same. I'm happy to hear things are looking up and your book is done!!!

I’m glad I’m not drowning any more, either! Living under unrelenting stress for weeks on end is just not fun.

A twenty year old lien?? You’ve got to be kidding me! Here you are, trying to do something nice and donate your car and instead you’ve got all kinds of headaches. I wish Kevin all kinds of luck in getting this straightened out!

Well the book isn’t quite finished yet. I have another 9,000 words to go, but at least I’m back on track to complete it by the end of the month. Whew! More stress lifted from my shoulders! :-)
