Where Have You Gone, Joe DiMaggio?

So, what have I been up to? And what have I been doing?

• Job Hunting-Well, I had two second interviews this week. Fingers crossed that they lead to a job and a regular salary.
• Family-Mom is…hopefully going to escape from her particular confinement and finally have that bone chip in her spine removed soon. Yes, I recognize that there’s a lot of issues with the health care system and I wish I could just buy an off-the-shelf OEM part and give her a new spine. But, that technology isn’t here yet, which makes me very sad.
• Personal Stuff-Not going to the gym as much as I’d like, but I am getting as much walking in as I can. Despite the fact that the next-door neighbor is building an ark. Because Dad is cooking and because Dad is trying to avoid showing how much he loves us by stuffing us full of love via food…we’re losing weight. A little bit. Somewhat.
  
  It just can’t be the stress, after all…
• Writing-The thing you’re here for!
  The Winter Solist is hitting an air-pocket, but it’s a small one. Writing has progressed and I’m hoping for a Valentine’s Day release date, with some luck and some definite finger crossing.
  A Solist In Rome‘s outline is mostly finished, and needs to be fleshed out.
  An Ethical Succubus has been progressing slowly. Mostly due to the outline needs, but I’m getting there.
  Other writing projects have been slowly making forward progress…but not as fast as I would like.

Fingers crossed for some good news coming up soon, especially if I get a new job. That’s the big thing right now, I need a steady income and health insurance. From there…who knows?

I can promise you this much-if I win the MegaMillions this time around, it’ll be a lot of vague for a while, then perhaps a very sudden rush of writing work…
