Fishy Business

I cannot believe how tired I am right now. It's been one of those days; up early, I hardly a chance to sit down once, am I'm almost not exaggerating!:)

My mom had a 55 gallon aquarium, which it just so happens that I bought her last year, and when she moved into a new apartment, she wasn't allowed to take the aquarium! Ah, the joys of renting! Anyway, she gave me back the aquarium, and by the time I figured out how to put all the doodads in and on it, and got it filled with 55 gallons of water...well, lets just say it took me awhile. And not only that, but she decided to buy me this huge old buffet for 15 bucks at a garage sale, to put the aquarium on! oh Lord! I couldn't say I didn't want the buffet to put an aquarium on, seeing as how she bought it for me, so that had to be picked up, and I had to find a place to put the thing, which was not an easy task.

I still haven't gotten that scenery thingamabob to stay put inside the tank. I've done everything but superglue it in there, and it's still floating around like it's possessed. It wasn't too bad until I turned on the pump and then there it went.

I have three little goldfish-they aren't going to know what to think, after being in their eensy weensy little aquarium for so long, to suddenly be emptied out into this huge one. I'll have to get more fish now:)

So I didn't get to write tonight, and now I'm too tired. I figure this'll be my day off writing, and I'll be back to writing like a madwoman, tomorrow. Good thing it's Saturday! I'll have nothing to do and nowhere to go.

I'm single and have no husband bothering me all day either! 'Course, that mightn't be such a bad thing. Sometimes I miss being in a relationship. Most times not, though. I'm resting, I guess.
Someday I'll find my Mister Specialhead. :)

I wrote Daisy Dexter Dobbs again, because I am so full of questions, and she is such a sweet lady. How nice it is that a writer who is established takes time to help those such as myself, who are quite unestablished.
Patience, Willow!
Anyway, she emailed me back again with an email full of advice, links, and the answers to my questions.
Have I mentioned she's incredible?

I'm writing a short erotic romance which I'm going to submit to Ellora's Cave, and I am at the end. I just basically need to write a few more sentences, a little editing, and then send it in. And then I'll need to forget about it so I won't drive myself nuts waiting. I'm not the most patient of people, but will have to become one to survive these waiting periods!:)
No one has read this one; I haven't even told anyone I'm writing it, especially not my sister who is reading my novella, because then she'd want to read this one and that is just not going to happen!

Well, I need to go and get back to my late night raisin bran and Lucy reruns, and then I am going to sleep:)
Goodnight, everyone..
