I'm definitely a yuleshard. There's client work that can "wait until Tuesday," and I haven't bought a single piece of new clothing in...months.
Yuleshard [YOOL-shard]
(n.)
-Someone who leaves work unfinished before Christmas
-Someone with no new piece of seasonal apparel
“If you’d spent more time sewing & cooking, and less time blathering on the telephone, you wouldn’t be a shamefaced yuleshard for the 6th year in a row.”

Mercury Rx strikes in the most unusual fashion yet. Was #amwriting when suddenly, Word made my document "read-only," but still let me edit? Had to "save as," something different, too, because it was read-only. Never had that happen before!

Today is the #WinterSolstice - the shortest day of the year in the northern hemisphere. Tomorrow the days start lengthening. As a sun baby, it's my New Year. Celebrate with me!

Reinventing Herself opens with Ellen at the kitchen table with a glass of wine. She realizes it’s time to make a change, but to what? Paperback: mybook.to/Reinventing Ebook: mybook.to/ReinventingE... Audiobook, too, at most places that have them!

We need rain! We're in an extreme drought. Should have had about 10" from 1st September to 30th November. Had a little over 2". "They" say we should have 1-2" by the end of the weekend. Last time they said that, we got a whopping .38". But every drop counts!

Because I didn't have to be on the computer for work, got almost 3,000 words written on the new book before my eyes gave out. (Go, me!) I have a protagonist and a problem, but no antagonist. Hopefully, I'll have one of those when I get to that point!

Need some holiday weekend reading (if you're in the US, that is). How 'bout some paranormal women's fiction? Complete with asshole vampires. Paperback: mybook.to/Reinventing Ebook: mybook.to/ReinventingE... Audiobook, too, at most places, narrated by the awesome Courtney Patterson.

Keys can be used as good luck charms. It is also often the custom in her family to give a small gold key charm as a gift to a baby - to unlock good luck for the future. buff.ly/3rVUDF9

Some people love this herb, others can't stand it. I'm somewhere in the middle. It's certainly useful!

LMAO. We live on a dirt road that isn't well maintained. Past our property, curved & hilly, hasn't been graded in a long time. 1 of those big-ass trucks meant to convey the size of the owner's genitals went by. Made it thru the mud puddle but got stuck-twice-going up the hill. All that $ and no 4WD.

After chewing on it for a week, I couldn't get Anne's story to work. BUT another character popped into my head. Can I make a story around her? We'll find out! (I managed to *write* about 1000 words yesterday, until my arthritic hand gave out.)
