Tuesday SOL - 4/4/17 - Writing Withdrawal

Saturday came along 
I felt that I should be doing something.  
Something missing from my daily routine.  
I felt lost
It felt like having withdrawals from caffeine
I felt that I need to do something!

I've been working on a scrapbook of our Boston & Beyond Trip from last September.  I finished arranging all the pictures and memorabilia on the paper.  All I had left was to write the journaling.

So to fill all that extra time that had been taken up by slicing and commenting, I started working on telling the story of the trip along with the pictures.  Late Sunday afternoon, I finished.  The album is complete.   It helped to ease my withdrawal for the daily writing.

On to the next project.

    Good for you! A very positive way of filling up your Slicing time. :) I finished my novel and I've just gotten it back from my Beta Reader. I've got to fix a few things but she loves the story! Yay!

    Definitely extra time put to good use. I like your comparison to caffeine withdrawal. Fits perfectly.

    How wonderful... I have some projects like that waiting on me. Over the weekend, I definitely identified the symptoms of writing withdrawal. But I'm also glad for the less intense pace of Tuesdays... posting, reading, and commenting. See you next Tuesday!

    I miss the daily writing, but then again I don't. That doesn't make sense, but I think you know what I mean. You found the perfect solution for filling the gap.

    I also found myself in withdrawal over the weekend. In my case, writing IEPs filled the void....But that wasn't NEARLY as much fun. ~JudyK

SOL 18/31 - The Realtor's Came Yesterday

Image
Yesterday, the realtor's came to look at our house.  Our realtor only brings his own people thru, so it wasn't too bad.  Max slept thru most of it until they went upstairs where he was sleeping.  He barked briefly, came downstairs, got petted and pampered a little.  They walked thru the house, in the bedroom, up the stairs, down the stairs, looked things over, asked a few questions and 15 minutes later out the door they went. Our realtor told me he has had a couple of calls - one from a neighbor (being nosy) and another from a realtor who said this house is exactly what his clients are looking for, but they had just left the day before it was listed.  But could they put in an offer sight unseen?  Really???  Is this just a realtor's ploy to make us feel good or is it real?  No offer yet, but who knows.  It could happen. I breathed a sigh of relief.  Max looked at me as if to say "Is that it?  Can I go back to sleep now?". ...

Tuesday SOL 10/23/12 - Mr. Pockets goes to school

Image
Last week there was an article in our local newspaper that I found fascinating and wanted to share it with you.  This is a story about a dog who listens as children read out loud.  It's a new program in our school district and I'm proud that our district is using this innovative program to help students learn. Animals are so loving, caring and accepting, and the students love to have someone that they can read to and to be loved unconditionally. I hope you enjoy the article. http://www.baxterbulletin.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/201210200500/NEWS01/310200014

SOS #26 - 10/1/20 - Little Pieces of Magic that have appeared in my life recently

Image
  We hear so much negativity and doubt that many become depressed in our country at this time.  It's time for us to look to the positive and find the magic that surrounds us.  Here's my list of Magic that I've discovered recently. A phone call from a friend I hadn't heard from in a while A text message wishing me a great day A positive reply to my "thought for the day" for Michelle & girls A hug or two or three from Hubby.  And some hugs given to special friends. The delight in creating a greeting card to send to someone who needs lifting up The cool morning to take a long walk and contemplate the coming of Fall The turning of the leaves A beautiful sunrise and sunset with a full moon rising in the sky Shutting off the A/C and opening up the windows The smiles we can see in the eyes of those who wear masks Talking with a special 98 year old friend who looks forward to my weekly calls The sound of the wind chimes (they were given to us many years ago by Mic...
