This past week was basically all about keeping things together. Soldiering on. The busier I am, the stronger and more positive I feel. Lots happened last week, and this next week will be another rollercoaster.
Report Card
Last week…
- I celebrated and promoted the release of Secret Identities anthology! I hope you all picked up your copies! There’s something for everyone inside that volume!
- I worked on edits for one author.
- I revamped my release schedule so that my book, Built Like Mack, is pushed off to September. Sorry, I know some of you were looking forward to it, but I’m not in the headspace at the moment.
- I swam every day for the first part of the week. The next two items describe why that happened…
- I went to the doctor for abdominal pain on Monday, thinking maybe it was my gallbladder or appendix. I wish. I was sent for a CT scan immediately and afterward was scheduled right away to see an oncologist.
- My daughter and the girls returned from their vacation in Virginia with the flu and promptly gave me the bug, too.
This next week…
- I see the oncologist on Monday. I’m sure he’ll schedule a biopsy and we’ll go from there. I hate waiting. That’s the worst part. I like action, solve it, figure out what I have to fight. Or maybe, it’s something other than cancer (I can hope).
- I will finish editing one author’s manuscript and begin editing the next one in line.
- I’ll work on finishing the next Delta Fire novella, Ignition. I only have a couple of chapters to write, and I think I can get through it while I wait for whatever procedures I will be going through.
- I’ll continue swimming and trying to watch what I eat, although I am finding it hard not to want to eat my favorite things!
- I’ll continue working on some small art projects while I declutter my art room.
