    TwitchCon Day 2 for me. Waiting for a conference to start...

    Disappointed_Cat.gif


    What are you guys up to?

    Watching TV to fuel myself up for writing! I'm going to go on a writing storm today, and I bought the perfect clothes to go along with it. xD

    @SummerFalls The perfect outfit?! Cool! I'm always in pajamas!

    I almost never write in pajamas! I like to wear clothes when I write so I don't procrastinate as much xD Wearing pjs makes me feel tired and sleepy and not as efficient.

    LOL! I'm the same! I also won't play Sims in the daytime. Why is that?

    Do you also play The Elder Scrolls Online? You can find me there as CathyTea, too!

    My preferred time to play is in the evening, though I'm usually wearing clothes while playing and writing because that's just what I happen to have on.

    What are you guys up to?

    Watching rugby and thinking to myself... I am so not going to get any sleep these next two months. :D

    2 months is a ruby season right?

    A season is around 20 weeks here, but then there is International games on top of that so it feels like there is rugby on all the time. But it's the World Cup at the moment. The whole tournament is going to last about 2 months, normally I don't care too much about it.

    you can forget sleep but don't forget to eat or you will miss it.

    Oh yeah! Food... Thanks for the reminder!

    Well the Barn Sale was awesome! I actually found some apple butter that I like (first time ever) and some great new wax scents. Now onward to the flea market. I hope that after I get home I'll be able to settle down and write.

    Yay, I got home from visiting my baby niece, and my 9-year-old niece is now sleeping over tonight :smiley: I'm in full Auntie-mode right now :lol:

    Of course, the minor downside is that there will be no writing for me until she goes to bed tonight... :tongue: But definitely worth it ;) Off to go play a bunch of silly games and read her more Harry Potter! :smile:

    I had to look twice. I thought it was something about the picture and a caption "Twitch the Cat".

    That would be among my "top five" choices for a cat name, were I to actually adopt such a creature.

    Haha I adore kids. I'm actually a teacher, too. And I really love spending time with my niece, so it's an absolute dream to me!

    I think if it's your family, you'd feel differently. Maybe not the teaching part (you need to LOVE kids to be able to make that your career :lol:), but the spending time with a niece or nephew part haha I live for the time I get to spend with her! (And I'm so happy to have a second niece to love and play with now too! :love:)

    To each their own, of course! Sorry, got a little defensive there :lol: I would never call one moment spent with my niece a "nightmare"!

    @SummerFalls I agree with your idea on this. Since I'm home all day, I'm in pajamas but I just don't feel as productive. This type of "working from home" with writing/streaming/YouTubing I don't see people so I think, why should I get dressed, but I'm finding that I don't have that separation from "work" and personal time. It blends together. So I have started getting dressed when I create so it puts my brain in work mode. Then, when my day is done, I take a shower and pajama time! :)

    I don't really enjoy spending time with my younger cousins. It's probably a lot to do with the fact that I'm an only child and all my immediate cousins are much older. I wasn't raised around a lot of younger kids, so I tend to think they're annoying. :/ I really do have great respect for you and everyone else who enjoy being around children. Just because it isn't something I enjoy doesn't mean I don't sometimes see the appeal.

    @OJenn I set an alarm to wake up consistently and give an hour to myself in the morning as my, "me time." Then I get ready for my creative work day. It's important to take breaks during the day and a lunch to refresh your brain. I have a dedicated work space as well. Then at the end of my day, I take a shower as an actual physical signal to my brain that my work day is done. Then I make dinner and cuddle up with tea, watch TV, or do something nice for myself. :)

    @RoryGilmore34 - My schedule is pretty much based on my fiance's work schedule which is pretty consistent. We wake up/go to bed at the same times. Our meals are scheduled due to our joint weight loss goals so I have meal alarms throughout the day. The only time I really get out of the house is when we go walking in the afternoon.

    I am really hopeful that next week I can get some hours at my new job so I can get out of the house. I am going stiry crazy lol.

    @OJenn I hear you on the schedule! My better half wakes up at 3am for work. That's when our day starts. With my disability I don't go outside very much. Maybe once a week. But with this new doctor, I'm hoping to get stronger and get outside more. I can relate on the cabin fever thing as well.

    Congratulations on the new job!! That's great! :)

    I just do everything at night, I think I'm a night owl like @CathyTea!

    I am most definitely a night owl. Always has been--even as a child. I dislike going to bed early, but I HATE getting up early. So, to make things easier for myself in the a.m....yeah :(

    For those of you who helped me a few weeks ago decide on who should win that cooking challenge, thanks a lot! I got back around to writing that chapter today, and I just published it. If you don't care to read, but want to know who I picked, I went with Braylon! Here's the chapter for those who'd like to read it.

    Brady and team get up close and personal with the contestants as they talk about their eating habits and triggers. Enjoy!

    I am almost finished with my overhaul of my Meet the Characters page. My poor blog followers are getting spammed with posts as I create the character pages. I swear, I'm getting a chapter up tonight. By hook or by crook.
