It’s been a fairly successful morning

Considering I’m feeling rough.

I’ve got a few ideas jotted down for future posts, finished reading and reviewed a book, added feedback on a book over at http://www.netgalley.com, checked my emails, mentally designed a set of cushions and then ordered the materials,  and emailed for a review copy of a book I want to read.

I’ve even managed to eat a sensible breakfast. Next up, dress, dinner, walk the dogs. Might not seem like much but for me it’s progress.

It’s really frustrating that I have things I need to get done. But I just don’t want to leave my room. My room is safe, everything else is scary. There are people outside; I’ll have to speak to them or otherwise interact.

Things I love and hate about blogging

I started blogging about two and a half years ago to give myself more opportunities in my writing. It’s been an interesting adventure, especially since I got a phone that has decent internet access and I can keep my blog up to date.
