• Night all… I’m outta here. #

It has been awhile and after a couple of friends threatened me with bodily harm… I decided it was about time to update if I wanted to stay alive for awhile longer. This isn’t the podcast update they wanted, but I hope it will do for the moment.

I made a list of all the things I wanted to cover, but I can’t find it now… of course.

Ok, I’ve been lectured from people on both sides now. The “you shouldn’t post anything personal in your blog” camp and the “what else is a blog for but posting personal thoughts” camp. And… if you think you haven’t lectured me about this, I’m probably not talking about you! I think I fall somewhere in the middle and I’m starting to care less and less every day. I try not to be too personal… try not to talk about my cats too much or personal turmoil or things about myself that could be damning, but that doesn’t leave much to talk about now does it?

I have started a new writing project with a long time friend. He might even jump in on a few things I already have going. We’ve supported each other creatively for years, so this should be a fun and interesting venture. I’m excited to get started and nervous for him to read what I’ve been working on.

As always, I have a million and a half things to do, but I’ve been trying to be less of a workaholic lately. I’ve always been amazed at the people that can balance or at least appear to balance things that they have to do, need to do, and want to do. I bow in reverence to those that have combined the three (have to, need to, and want to) into one thing. I’d love to get to that point in my life.

In April, we took my grandmother’s cat to be put to sleep. Jessica was a sweet little kitty that had a hard couple of years before my grandmother adopted her. She was a good companion for a long time, but at 20+ years with a thyroid condition and failing kidneys, life became agony for her. We were there… we watched her take her last breath. It was so… sad is not a descriptive enough word… I’m not sure I can find a fitting one…

I know there was more I wanted to cover, but I can’t think right now. It’s late and my brain is shutting down for the night. Hopefully I’ll find that list tomorrow. If not… hopefully good stuff will happen that I can post about soon.

Still working on updating more, but I’m not making any promises about anything to anyone at the moment.

• Almost caught back up with paperwork. Yea! #
• I’m about a month behind in my podcast listening. Mainlining everything I can today. #
• @Bennu999 Just rambling at the moment. It’s dead right now. Will be my fiction eventually. in reply to Bennu999 #
• @Bennu999 Will do. Thanks. in reply to Bennu999 #

I’m now LadyKryson on Twitter. Hopefully, the change will eliminate the gender confusion.

I remember Joe…

There’s nothing I can say that hasn’t been said by the people you will hear in this podcast.   I never met Joe, but I’ll always remember his wit, his timing, and the outpouring of support when he took ill.  To this day, I’m still amazed by Joe and by everyone that supported him.

Tee and everyone on this podcast, thank you for keeping this going and for keeping the memory of Joe alive.

I hate root beer, but I’m drinking one right now in honor of Joe.

My partner in crime found a better way to streamline things and freed up quite a bit of time. We still have a ton of things to do, e.g. taking pics, adding new products, spring cleaning, but after that’s over with I might actually have a little free time on my hands.

My brain is already on overdrive adding new projects for me to tackle. I keep mulling over adding a blog for CMH so I can stop talking about it here and actually post less personal and less vague posts on the business blog, but I don’t know. I don’t know if it would just wind up being another time sink with no real benefit, or if it would actually be worth it. I’d ask Tee’s opinion, but he’s such a busy guy I’d hate to bug him.

I’m most excited about getting back to old projects and as soon as we get a handle on the backlog of things we need to do, I’m going to find me some word meters to add to the blog. I want to see a word meter start increasing again!

I don’t want to get ahead of myself though. There’s still a lot of time consuming stuff left to do.
