Six Sentence Sunday

She knew every contour of his face. He had black hair, very similar to hers and a face that looked like it had seen more worries than most people his age even though it was still smooth and unlined. The eyes were haunted even though they pretended to be jovial. No one should have eyes that were that hidden. The windows to his soul held the look of a person who was totally in control all of the time. She wondered if he ever smiled or did he just pretend to?

The Plot Thickens

I will admit that I had a hard time at the beginning of this work-in-progress. The hero didn't like how he was being portrayed and he's a character that has been in many books before. He is someone I care a great deal about.

But, now it looks like things are really picking up with the story. I'm very hopeful that this will keep up even as I try very hard to figure out how I am going to manage all of this with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.

I got tested today using an EMG test. I hated the test but it did confirm the diagnosis. I have Carpal Tunnel.

I'm trying very hard to stay positive about all things. Positive thinking and all that. This is not easy for a person who tends to be dark by nature.

Hope you are all well.

Ugh

Lately, I feel like this is the health blog. First my potential carpal tunnel and now I can write about how I haven't slept in days because of youngest son's croop. But, he woke up this morning without a fever so that is good!

When I considered having a 3rd child, everyone told me that third children were so easy, so happy to just go along. Somewhere on his way out of my womb, someone forgot to give that memo to my 3rd son.

My other children would stay in their beds when they were sick, they would sleep, and get better. This child? In my bed. He insists. Will not sleep but insists on being on top of either me or my husband the entire night. I understand that he needs the comfort. I want to give it to him. But, wow, exhaustion has set in.

Hopefully tomorrow we'll all be back on track.

A Problem I Ignored For Too Long

So, yesterday I was diagnosed with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. I could talk about how much pain I am in but, really, no one wants to hear about it. It is my own fault for ignoring the symptoms as long as I did.

In any case, as I wait to have the test that will tell the doctor just how much nerve damage I have done so we can determine the next course of action, I have to stay off the computer for a while. I am going to have to severely limit the amount of writing time I do or even how much social networking I can enjoy.

Please forgive me if it takes me a little while to get back to you for a while.

I cry so easily!

I am watching Kim Kardashian's wedding thing-y on television and I am crying. I clearly have no self control. Really, Rebecca? Really?

Six Sentence Sunday

These six are from Alpha Wolf, the fifth book in the Westervelt Wolves series.

“I’m trying to figure out who I need to kill for putting their hands on you, Scarlett.

Help me out here.”

She sucked in a gasp of air and finally met his eyes. “You would do that? For me?”

We need to take her home and wrap her up in our sheets and just hold her for

months and months.
