Urges

Those who know me well know when I start getting urges, things could get dangerous. My urges in the past led to rearranging the house while Gil was at work. Tonight the urge isn't something that physical. It's much simpler and doesn't involve turning into he-woman. I'm getting tired of my blog. I struggle with the 2 devils on my shoulders. The Good Angel who says, "It looks fine!" The Mischievous Devil who says, "No it doesn't. Go forth and play!" The good news for all 4 of my loyal readers is, I will not disrupt my blog with redecorating. I researched how to tweak layouts. I've learned new things. I'm happy I have some knowledge about HTML. You'll show up one day and nothing will be the same! MMMWWWHAAAAAAAA!!!! I just can't help myself.

In other news, Patience is one kick butt artist! I'm going to sweet talk her into giving up some more drawings for me to scan. *Pause* I'm sitting here in 10 kinds of pain wondering why and DOH!! I should have taken my meds about half an hour ago. *sigh* *Insert elevator music, heavy metal, or what ever you like here*

I know why my left arm from elbow to shoulder is killing me. It's not rsd pain, it's courtesy of Gil! He woke up because he turned over wrong or something and had pain shooting through his right arm from elbow to shoulder. When I say we are one another's other half, I mean it literally. We feel each others pain from time to time. I learned long ago to shield myself because I'm an empath. I have always been able to feel what other people are feeling. Since getting rsd, it's more difficult at times to shield. I taught Gil how to shield because he was feeling way too much of my pain. I didn't want him subjected to that day in and day out.

Back to the awesomeness of my youngest child. I have 3 drawings I got her to give up. I'm going to get her to fork over some more so I can share with you her brilliance. *Proud mommy smile* If you look at my photo stream you'll seem them.

I have 3 articles published, submitted 2 more, and starting another tonight. Writing for the web is still new to me, but I catch on quick. I read all the tips I could find. I'm gaining confidence by the day in my writing ability. For the past 6 years I wracked my brain for a job I can do from home. I looked into some, but nothing ever felt right. If you're doing a job you don't like, you won't give it your best effort.

I came across a post on one of my boards, and someone mentioned the reason another member hadn't been around much is because she was busy writing for associated content. I checked it out and signed up. This felt right. I love to write! I know it'll take time to generate a steady income. I'll work hard to get there and work even harder to stay there.

I have to be successful in my new "career". We barely make it on Gil's one job. He hasn't been able to find a second job because of the current state of the economy. I want to save him from working himself to death. If I can bring in enough money, we'll have our second income. I don't know what the future hold for me, but with hard work and a positive can-do attitude, the future will be good.
