I&#8217;m happy to report that I&#8217;m finally on the mend! I can actually take deep breathes without feeling like death. I&#8217;m still worn down but heck, naps are one of my favorite things. Of course, naps are why I&#8217;m writing this at 9pm. Still, it&#8217;s worth it if means feeling better.<\/div>\n<div>As for the hands, I&#8217;m still the same in that area. I never received a call from the place where they do the testing so I need to email my doctor&#8217;s office about that. The good news is that they aren&#8217;t doing worse and I found a good video on how to do some exercises that may help. If you&#8217;d like to check them out, you can do that over on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=VEKm4N-Tg9w\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube<\/a>. Maybe we can start a workout group&#8230;hehe&#8230;<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Now, for news of the book! It&#8217;s done! I finished writing the last story and did the formatting. I still need to pay my marvelous artist and get Eric going on the cover. Unfortunately, he&#8217;s busy until at least October. I can&#8217;t imagine having anyone else working on this series though so I&#8217;ll wait. It&#8217;s hard to believe that today a year ago I was building the campaign for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Cobalts-Castaways-Lives-Katrina-Roets\/dp\/B0BMJHBVQB\" target=\"_blank\">Cobalt&#8217;s Castaways<\/a>. Time sure flies by. My goal is to have this book in the books (hahaha) by the end of the year.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Staring on the 28th, I&#8217;ll be spending 4 hours a week at Starbucks. My oldest son needs a ride back and forth to his class so that&#8217;s where I&#8217;ll be hanging out while he&#8217;s doing math. I figured it&#8217;d be the perfect time to work on Florida Cats A-Z. I have the first twenty cats picked out already so I just need to sit down and start the writing. If you&#8217;d like to support my Starbucks habit, hit the KoFi link over there on the right.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Just a reminder&#8230;once we hit 750 followers on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/lifewithkatie\/\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram<\/a>, I&#8217;ll be giving away some goodies! We&#8217;re only 61 followers from goal so I know if we keep sharing and spreading the word, we&#8217;ll be there before we know it.
