Chelsea stretched in the sand, luxuriating in the heat on her skin, and water on her legs. That the sand was imported to create a fake beach for a hotel that shouldn’t exist in the desert heat, didn’t bother her. For once, she let herself spend some money and enjoy it.
Well, hello, my little nun.
Chelsea settled against her car, bottle of beer in hand, and watched the sun head for the horizon as she waited. Out here in the desert, it was quite the production. While some trees had been planted around town, this was big sky country. Different from her beloved South Dakota, but still breathtaking.
The setting sun reddened the mountains in the distance as Chelsea raced down the open road. The gas pedal wasn’t quite flat against the floor, but she was ready to speed up if need be.
Just a little hiccup, barely a hitch in our giddy-up.
I’m just going to leave it at that. Some stuff has gone down and life sucks right now. Thankfully not my back, but honestly, I’d rather deal with that. Anyway. That said, I’m going to be okay. I have to work through some stuff. Really hard stuff, and I know that while I’m doing that, […]
And it’s only going to get rougher. We have a big event next month and I’m cleaning. And yeah, it’s very rough on my back. Now the good news is that I’m only doing manual labor for one hour in the morning. The bad news is that that one hour wipes me out for the […]
It’s still cold here, and lately rainy. While I’m happy my seasonal depression didn’t hit until mid-March, it would be more of a relief if spring would just GET HERE. I moved to the sunshine belt for a fucking reason. Anyway, while I haven’t been writing as much as I would like, I have been […]
I waited until I actually got something written, but I did get some work done on August’s story. I actually have a lot to do at work, but I did have some time today. Hopefully, I can finish it tomorrow.
Yes, I was on vacation. A planned one and unplanned one. Basically, when the weather turned cold on me, and my back crapped out, I went into super depression mode. Not unusual for me by any means. I also had planned on small vacation the first weekend in April for my anniversary. So, I let […]
First the weather turned and my depression came roaring back, along with my pain. Then I sat funny for 20 minutes last night and… now I’m dying. Anyway, it’s my wedding anniversary and I can barely follow a conversation, let alone write for any length of time. Hopefully, I feel better tomorrow.
Yesterday was cold and clear and the kids were off from school. So, we got up early and did yardwork. And I’m still paying for it today. Did it to myself. I knew I was hurting but I just kept going. Anyway, I did make a decision on the new monster. Now I just have […]
I still need to pick a monster. I didn’t post yesterday because I was really, really hoping to post that I had a monster. But I never did decide. Unfortunately, the city in question doesn’t have any lore about monsters. At least not that I found yesterday. And while I have a roster of monsters, […]
I was on my feet from the time we opened yesterday. By the time I got a breather I wasn’t really in the mood to think hard. So I still need a monster before I can crank out a few new Chelsea stories. I have story, but no monster. Hopefully I can work on that […]
