How's that plan I put in place mere weeks ago going, you ask? About as stable as a jenga tower made of jello. Oh, not all of it. Progress has been made, good things have happened.
The #1 Good Thing is that George (our cat) is home recuperating. I'm still a paranoid, human-shaped bag of anxiety over him, but there is a spark of hope floating around in the mix. The bill was a little less than we feared this time but that doesn't mean that this situation didn't take the opportunity to devour the budget for other important things. I've had a couple of friends offer to contribute to his care. I love them for it, I truly do, but at least for now, the hubby and I would like to sort the financial side out without taking money out of someone else's emergency fund. That's not pride talking. It's an acknowledgement of how close everyone is living with their own financial needs. All that being said, there is a loophole. If your home or business requires electrical engineering drawings, I know just the guy who can provide them do you. Just drop me a note and I'll get you in touch with my wonderful man. The other option is to buy one (or 20) of my books, or read them on one of the online reading platforms where they are available. Share that idea with your friends, too. Trust me, all sales are currently going to go toward George's bill. As for the #1 NOT Good thing, the job I mentioned in the last iteration of my plan turned out to sound like it had potential to be a scam. I don't believe the individual who contacted me was purposely scamming me. I think she believes it's a legit job with a decent paycheck. I hope she's right and I'm wrong but I'm just not willing to take the chance. I have also begun releasing a serialize story on Amazon Vella a little ahead of schedule. You can find it under the pen name Pepper Brin. The title is Harmony. New episodes release on Mondays for the foreseeable future...now I just need to keep up LOL My December marketing campaign is chugging along...slowly, but still chugging. And, unfortunately, the only creature touching my craft closet is our cat, Frank who has decided it's his new favorite spot. There are only so many hours in a day, and two hands to work with on my body. I'll get to it...eventually. With 9 days before Christmas, my focus now goes to last minute things of the holiday nature - and following George around like I've got an umbilical attached to him, of course. Who could have possibly predicted that the end of 2021 would revolve so closely around one cat's butt for me? I mean, I'm a writer, and I don't even think I'd have come up with that.
