Sadness and writing do not work well together

Well this week has not been great, after the emergency vet visit Monday and getting meds to possibly help my hedgehog. I had to take her to a special hedgehog vet Wednesday because the meds did not seem to be helping. She could not get to her food and water so I was feeding her chicken baby food and syringe feeding her water every few hours. After the vet was told about my hedgie's symptoms and told what meds she was on with no change for the good the vet determined that it was wobbly hedgehog syndrome(WHS) and the kindest thing to do would be to put her to sleep. So with a sad heart I held my little hedgehog while she was given the meds to stop her heart. I cried a lot that day, I still cry some everyday. But my family and I have decided that we are going to get another hedgehog soon to help heal our hearts and the emptiness of our home. We are not replacing her she can never be replaced. As for my writing I am attempting to get back to writing today. I just don't know how m...

Easter and an emergency vet visit

Yesterday was Easter and it started out great we had a wonderful day the kids hunted eggs and we had a BBQ. All in all it was a good day, until last night I went to get my hedgehog out and noticed she was laying on her side and was trying to move. I got her out and she was not acting like herself, so I call the emergency vet and they do not handle hedgehogs. I waited til my normal vet opened this morning and called them. They said bring her in and I took her up there, the vet is not sure what's wrong it could be anything from an infection to cancer or wobbly hedgehog syndrome. He gave me meds that might help and I have to syringe feed her food and water. If she does not get better I have to take her back up to the vet. Needless to say no writing is getting done for a few days. Happy reading Happy writing

Stress

Today I have been feeling like the world has been trying to crush me. I have been so busy with so much for my family and a few friends that my writing time has been limited.  Which is causing me a bunch of stress, to top it off I have a nasty cough.  I am hoping this week will be better on time so I can write. I am going try to find time today to de-stress some, just sure how well I will be able to or not. Well I need to run and get the kids ready to run to some errands. Happy reading Happy writing

Rejections, writing, and rain

   I have been thinking about my writing and I have been getting kind of hard on myself. Since I have not been writing a lot the past couple weeks. I know I had a bunch of stuff going on but I should have make time to write like I tell others that ask for writing advice.    With the rain my mood sucks and I have been getting migraines a lot since it's been raining more. Both of which is bad for writing, I also have been querying agents and so far I have gotten back all rejections. But I will not give up I am sending more queries, it only takes one yes to make it.     I need to get my stuff together to get the kids and get them ready for practice tonight.

April showers.....

 So far it has been raining since yesterday off and on, this morning the thunderstorms were bad enough that the weather people thought there was a tornado. I woke up to the tornado sirens, I got a little wet getting my kids to school today. With the storms there is not a whole I can do other than write.  I know April showers bring May flower, but I am already tired of the rain. I better get to my writing Happy reading Happy writing
