Down with Asthma

I'm down with asthma this week. I've been having trouble breathing for the past couple weeks. The past few days I started coughing. Yesterday it became really bad so I went to the doctor. I thought I had bronchitis or an upper respiratory infection. Asthma didn't occur to me. But that's what the doctor diagnosed and treated me for. I took a breathing treatment and was put on two medications. Then I went back to work - for an hour. I still felt poorly so I went home and slept the rest of the day. I went to work today, however, as I felt somewhat better this morning. As the day went on, I began to cough a lot again, and I had trouble breathing. Not as bad as yesterday but still not good. I arranged with my boss to stay home tomorrow so I can take a long weekend to rest. I stopped and bought enough groceries to last so I won't have to leave the house. The daughter who gets cabin fever is staying with her friends. The other kids are homebodies. Hopefully, I'll be better soon.

Bad Day

I have to make this fast as my 'puter's losing battery power and the NEW power cord doesn't seem to be powering it AGAIN. Oi! I'm going to have #1 son check the connection. I just got this cord a week ago. Hubby told me today that his company is going to cut back his hours at work to 4 days a week. That'll be a few hundred less dollars per month. I know it's a lot better than losing his job altogether, but it's going to hurt. This takes effect March 4th. I'm still having asthma attacks and I had a really bad one about half hour ago. I'm still having trouble breathing. So I'm not going to push myself to write a long blog tonight. I actually kept pushing through an edit - well one chapter so I could send it to my critique partner. At least I don't have to go to the day job tomorrow. But I have two edits and three stories I have to hurry and finish. I'd planned to get a lot of editing and writing work done this weekend.

Submissive Dreams Review

I love it when I open my mail and get a present, especially when it's not even my birthday, Christmas, or Valentine's Day. But I sure got a good one today. It was this review by Victoria at Two Lips Reviews. Ms. Ladd sure knows how to kick the BDSM tension up a notch when these three engage in a delightful ménage. Submissive Dreams is easily one of the best BDSM stories I’ve read this year, full of lots of steamy sex and snappy dialogue.

Thanks Victoria! I'm so glad you liked Submissive Dreams. Aren't those chili peppers so adorable? The lips are pretty darned awesome, too. Especially FIVE of them. Woohoo! Can you tell I'm pumped? Just in case you can't, I am.

Yes, ALL weekend, Friday, Saturday, and most of Sunday. My daughter was invited to play in the Rising Starz softball tournament where college scouts offer scholarships. As far as I know, she's not going to be offered one. Maybe next time. Or maybe the offers come after the weekend. She had fun and I got a LOT of writing done. I finished my MFM story due for TEB. And I got 3,000 + words into my next TEB story. I had enough energy Sunday since we got out early to whip my MFM into shape and send it off to my TEB editor. It was so nice sitting outside at the softball game (except for last night when 4 or 5 smokers sent me into an asthma attack), watching the girls play. The weather down here in South Florida is absolutely awesome and during the day we actually get hot. In the evening and early morning we only need a sweatshirt or jacket. As I mentioned above I did double duty and did the mom thing and the writing thing simultaneously. No guilt for once. Trying to be "Super Mom" can bring on a lot of guilt, not that I like that terrible title. I doubt I would've spent my long weekend off the day job at the softball games without this incentive, but it was really really nice. I did more writing than I probably would have if I had been elsewhere. The asthma attack surprised me. I've had a couple in my life, but that was the worst. I was infuriated that those people were smoking in a place where no smoking was allowed, right around kids, even when I was coughing and could hardly breathe. I don't care if people want to smoke in their cars or in their homes or their own yards as long as their smoke isn't drifting into my yard, into my face, but in a place with a lot of other people isn't cool. I almost had to leave my daughter's tournament because of it. Then my husband would have had to drive her back home - almost a 2 hour round trip because he was the umpire in charge of one of the fields and had planned to stay overnight as he had to start so early and do so much work. When I did get home, I had to take a breathing treatment on my son's breathing machine. The inhaler my husband let me borrow at the field only helped minutely. Okay. Rant done.
