Different points of view.
Different voices.
Because mystery is a state of mind.

Snow day

Ugh, this is my 3rd snow day this week. I’ve worked exactly 1 day in a week. Sigh. I do like to work more than this. To make it worse, I am here by myself, so it gets rather dull after a while. I’ve got the house clean, even more so since the house is up for sale. The laundry is done and all my bills are paid. That means I have to stop with the procrastination and write.

I know many writers who procrastinate. That’s why they invented computer games, I believe. Something to take your mind off of what you should be doing. In my case, it’s an excuse to play Sudoku and Scrabble. I spend hours on the book. I’ve been reading a stack of Perry Mason books, and a variety of his short stories. All of that is fodder for the book.

But with the problems I’ve had in the past month (my sister’s stroke) I haven’t put as much time into writing. Fortunately, she’s doing better now. She has an appointment today to learn more about what the next steps are for her. She has no symptoms other than that splitting headache, which is slowly dissipating.

So snow days haven’t exactly been the best work times for me this month, but I hope to get back on track with my upcoming spring break (it’s hard to think of that when there’s 10″ of snow, but it’s 3 weeks away!)

Good news: We have two couples coming through to look at the condo this week, and we hope one will make an offer.
