Vacations and Such...

It seems I've been gone for a while, though my vacation was just ten days.   (And while the vacation was nice, I need a vacation from my vacation, but eh. Whatever.) 

Florida and family were delightful.  I wasn't super excited to come back to California.  But I'm back and each day getting more and more productive!!!  The book is almost done.  I have part two of the vacation coming up next week.  My plan is to have the book done and in my mentor's hands before I leave.  I'll count it as a bit of reward...and inspiration, as I'm going to the Star Trek Convention in Las Vegas!  Nerdy, yep.  Do I care?  Not really.  It is what it is and I think it's going to be fun!

Over the first vacation, I spent SO MUCH time with the family and friends.  It was absolutely great! (even the hospital visit for a cousin, which turned out well for his diagnosis.) Our unity factor was upped a bit, and that's an answer to a long time prayer.  I know there's a harmony within my family that will only grow more and more melodic.  

While I didn't get to ride, I did get to visit a horse friend's horse, Max!  I love the smell of horses.   love being in the country.  I love the smell of rain in the country.  

All of the love from the vacation festivities have given me a little more umph to make my 'mogul' me to the next level.  So back to work I go.  Stay tuned.

My Own Boss

I have been busy which essentially means again falling away from blog updates.  Doing this and that, celebrating my birthday and entertaining family and friends.  It's been a fun few months, and even somewhat productive.  I'm no where near where I wanted to be at this point in the year...on a many number of things, but I am here!

I will cautiously say that my boss' resigning has proven to be quite beneficial...now that the shock of it all has all but dwindled away.  I was nervous about finding a new job by what I thought was the time I would be let go.  As it turns out, no such time exists.  That is truly a blessing.  I should have known better...all things are in His hands.

There have been some changes at the office.  At first I was vehemently opposed to them.  But again, it seems it's all for the best.  Five new people are in the bungalow now, in addition to our crew.  One producer and his assistant, and a writing team with their assistant.  I was giving the choice  of where I wanted to be among the assistants in the common area.  I chose to relocate to the copy room, and now I essentially have my own office.  Also, I guess I squeaked enough that I (finally) got a permanent parking spot.  (The squeaky wheel gets the oil!)

So while I'll miss seeing and meeting new people as they come through the door, it is nice to have my own space.  The writing is going well...I mean, it's only been a day or so, but at least I am back to updating the blog.  Well for today anyways.  I can here my own music (without having to use earphones), a bright sunny window to look out and the hum of the printer when it's actually used.  It's not a bad set up and I will take full advantage.  How many aspiring writers can say they are given office space by a top network, pay with benefits and a parking space?  I don't know, but I will take this time to write, build my other business and make the most of this divine opportunity.  I am my own boss.  Stay tuned.
