Trying to be good

[tikatu]

Yes, I'm trying to be good. Trying not to eat obviously sugary foods. Trying not to eat a lot of starchy foods either, but in this house, that's rather hard to do. Trying to hold my tongue when my kids say, "Mom, you shouldn't eat that. It's not good for you". Trying to eat lunch, the one meal of the day that I hate to eat.  I just don't like sandwiches any more (don't know why) and I can't seem to motivate myself to make anything else. Trying not to eat too much sugar-free chocolate. Trying to clean my house up for my parents' arrival this Friday. Got all the dishes done, which was a big undertaking. Now just have to keep up with them.

Chapter 22 of Serendipity is up, and Chapter 23 is started. The longer I write this thing, the longer it gets. I'm hoping that 24 is as high as I go, but... there are no guarantees. Got a good idea for a sequel to Turnabout. C. is going to pester me about it, too. She really wants to see a sequel. And a couple of people are agitating for a sequel to Resolutions. And I already have a sequel to Serendipity planned. The story is just too big to tell in one fic.

C. has done some more pictures for me. Head shots of the girls of Turnabout, and the discovery scene from the beginning of Serendipity. Major coolness! Everyone I sent a Tracy to was thrilled and excited. Made me feel happily mischievous.

My feet have been giving me more trouble than usual. I don't know if it's the very changeable weather or my hormones or the changes in my eating habits or a combination of any two or all three. Last night I went to bed at a decent hour (11:00) and after a foot massage, slept all night. And I still needed a nap this morning. There's nothing funny about falling asleep at the keyboard at 9 a.m.

Just four more days, and Mom and Dad are here. Got a lot left to do.
