Hi, guys! It’s me. Then again, who else would it be, right? I have some bummer news. I have pneumonia. I’ve been coughing for two months but thought maybe it was severe allergies or something. No such luck. This explains why I’m tired so much and why I start having coughing fits after doing things like grocery shopping. The doctor prescribed some meds for me so hopefully I’ll be on the mend quickly. As for my hands, it looks like a pinched nerve in both elbows that will require me to see an orthopedic doctor and probably splints that I’ll have to wear. I’ll be calling on Monday to see what my next steps are. <\/p>\n

Honestly. the news today has left me feeling a bit down and discouraged. Typing can be a real challenge and after having a semi-active day, I just want to lay down and go to sleep. Except it’s 7pm. I’m still just 17 pages away from finishing the book. I’ve spoken to Eric and he’s booked solid for a while. We’re still hoping to have it finished by the end of the year. We just need the stars to align properly.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Now, since this post and last week’s post were kind of bummer, I want to give you a bit of something that will hopefully make you smile. As soon as I hit post on this, I’m going to post a sneak peek for tomorrow! Don’t worry, y’all, I may be down but I’m far from giving up.<\/div>\n
