Insecure Writer's Support Group: Short and Sweet

Well, February was a month. I didn't get much more written as my right eye decided it hated looking at screens and my vision in it got blurry. Hopefully, by now I have set up an eye doctor appointment because I can only spend a little time staring at my laptop screen and reading is almost flat out for the moment. I'm squinting too much and it's giving me a headache.

This is gonna be a short post as a result. 

We also had water leaking in the kitchen due to ice dams. That's been sorted as we hired a company come to remove as much as safely possible. Some warmer weather helped but then we got around a foot of snow dumped on us again. But we've been keeping the roof raked so the ice dams can't reform. The problem is the insulation in the attic and we got an estimate on how much it will cost to replace.

On a plus note, hubby talked to a recruiter and a company about a position. But we haven't heard back, so it wasn't a very big plus.

I did get one newsletter swap set up, though. I had a good book release, too. I also had some kind people help out with the ice dam removal costs.

Honestly, I was feeling pretty defeated at one point, but I regained some wind thanks to everyone's support and encouragement. I'm going to have to leave this post here as I said, my right eye is acting up and I can't see the letters I'm typing very well.

I really hope March comes in like a lamb and the lion has buggered off for now. 

Today's post was part of the Insecure Writer's Support Group

Created by the ninja captain, Alex J. Cavanaugh, it's a group for writers struggling with writing insecurity (AKA all of us) to gather and discuss their fears or to celebrate writing victories. If you are a struggling writer or need encouragement and friendship, join us. (Someone might have cookies!)

I'm sorry about the eye! My kids deal with migraines when they spend much time on screens, so I get how difficult it can be to function in this world where they are so mandatory. Here's sending you healing vibes and enough digital cheese to stock two refrigerators!
Ugh! Hang in there with everything! And continuing to cross fingers for your husband's job search....
Eye issues are the worst! I hope you get well soon.

Your eye... Hope you get that appointment very soon. Summer 2024, close friend struggled to get an appointment,, nearly ended very badly.
