LIFE GOES ON

We're having a nice rain today. The weather has been so beautiful lately, sunny and warm. It was a little disappointing to wake up to rain this morning, but we need it so I guess it's a good thing. My foot is getting better daily but still is a little stiff and swollen. My hip and back have been bothering me so badly lately that the doctor sent me for and MRI. I had to get up at 5 a.m. for a 6:45 appointment. They did give me ear plugs but it was still very noisy. I got home about 8 a.m. and went back to bed and slept until 10:30 a.m. My sweet dog, Jake, jumped up on the bed and curled up beside me and had a good nap too.
I got an e-mail from Linda, she will be making my book marks. I'm really excited about them. I thought maybe I'd give one with each book sale at my signings. Linda does such a beautiful job with all her projects.
I'm expecting to hear from the editor by the end of the week, which is the end of the month. After he finishes the editing I'll be able to look at the specs for the cover. I should see a finished product soon after that.

Life is good.!

Life is good! You bet it is. My foot, after surgery, is getting better. My hip is getting worse. Theropy guy says one more session then if it's not better I go back to the doctor. Well that's encouraging.

I went to see my publisher on Thursday, he told me everything was turned over to an editor that he just hired. Great, he introduced me to Andrew, the editor. Andrew didn't seem to know anything about my book. "Did Russ agree to publish your manuscript?" He asked. "Yes!"

I came home a little depressed, but after a few days I decided to send Andrew an e-mail and explaine where I'd been with Russ. So I got an e-mail back from Andrew saying he was going to check things out and get back to me. So now he is in the loop and I'm feeling a lot better. Yes, life is good if you just relax and communicate.

Hello Fellow Bloggers

Hello fellow bloggers,
I had foot surgery a week ago Friday,9/24/10, that is bunion surgery. I had been using a lot of pain medication for the first week. The last few days the pain has slowed down so I'm off the pills, although the pain is not completely gone. I've been walking around, as little as possible, in this clunky, big shoe. I've tripped myself several times, but I hope when I see the doctor on Wednesday he will take out the stitches and I will be able to wear a real shoe again.
As soon as I'm able to walk a straight line, I'm going to call my publisher. It seems I always have to initiate a contact or meeting with him. I know he is really busy but I'm dying to get this book published and on the market. There is still so much to do before it is marketable.
So I guess I'll go to bed now and say my prayers. Good night and God bless you where ever you are.
