OMG! There are Santa Plurk creatures sleigh riding across my Plurk!!!

sighs The verdict on my 'new' car keeps getting worse. It's overheating, and while getting under the hood to find out why he finds the plugs are covered in oil. Apparently that's bad.

grimaces Sooooo frustrated with the terrible internet connection we've had the past four or so days. Constantly dropping in and out. Very difficult to get work done.

Got the full-colour artwork for my first children's book back today. LOVE them so much, looking forward to sharing soon! #AuthorHappiness

Huge apologies to anyone trying to get a sensible response out of me this week. I'm holding it together with a single spoon and will surface when I'm feeling better. If it's urgent send me email marked URGENT.

Had a fantastic evening tonight, began another new book project, this one a YA novel in collaboration with my daughter! So excited and we're having so much fun!

New car is unhappy. Having to bunnyhop home because it's getting too hot and I don't have any water with us to top up the radiator.

sighs Silly dog. I could have slept in today because I don't have to do the school run but nooooo, ten minutes after my alarm would have gone off my silly dog is pawing at me telling me to wake up.

trying to figure out a pen name for the children's line of books I want to do in collaboration with my son. Special dyslexia early readers for children with language and literacy acquisition difficulties.

grimaces The deluge that is email is never ending. I swear, I start to climb atop the mountain only to get washed down by another flood.
