Update Link: Dear Reader – Part 35

Officially done with full-day classes! Next week is ALL early dismissal for the kids, AND my grades are like 95% done except for some lingering projects and tests from absences. AND NO LESSON PLANS NEXT WEEK! You have no idea how happy that makes me 🙂

So I decided to come home and update, because well, that really wasn’t a fair place to leave you 😛

Update: Dear Reader – Part 34

Ended up being a good thing that this update got delayed because I get to celebrate with you guys about 90 minutes after the news breaks that JONATHAN JACKSON IS LEAVING!!! His final scenes air next week. I also had been guessing he’d be out by end of the year anyway just based on the writing. Never dreamed it be so fast.

ANDDDDDD the news came out about Jason not being the father of Sasha’s baby, so our boy is finally free of that ridiculous story stall. The nuMichael is very pretty, he and Sasha sparkle. All good things my loves.

And possibly an episode tag coming your way this weekend, we’ll see 😛

Hey! I updated the Recent Updates page so it’s current again through Monday’s episode. Had some meetings at work the last two days that went longer than expected, so I’m rescheduling the update for tomorrow, Thursday, June 5.

I have two more full days of classes, and all grades will be done this Friday. Home stretch people!

So heyyyyyyy….how’d you like that ending? Imagine if my week doesn’t go to shit last week and that’s the Friday cliff hanger that ends the marathon and I go radio silent for three days. So in a way, the universe was on your side.

Update: Dear Reader – Part 32

I really don’t know what happened to May. I feel like I’m at the end of every month or the beginning of the next saying I had such plans, lol. But we made it to the promised land, to JUNE. I have 9 days of school left, 4 of them are full and very nearly every grade will be done by Friday. Next week is all half days with the kiddos, with the afternoons for end of school stuff and cleaning out the room.

After we complete this marathon of Flash Fiction updates, I’m gonna redevote my energy to Book 3 of These Small Hours. I got off to a terrible start on the third book, lol. Mostly through time, energy, and illness.

I’ll see you guys again tomorrow and Tuesday!

Happy Saturday! Sliding this update in before heading out to late lunch/early dinner with my mom, sister, and at least 1 niece for my birthday. I am very excited to write tomorrow’s update since it’s the reason I wrote the whole story! Took forever to set up, but we’re finally here!

See you then 🙂

Update Link: Dear Reader – Part 30

Happy Friday! It has been one of those weeks! I feel like I say that a lot, lol, but it really was. I got the mother of all colds at the beginning of the week and had to miss work, then scrambled to get back on schedule and caught up. Especially since months ago, I’d scheduled a personal day for Monday, June 2 because my birthday is tomorrow (May 31), and I reallly didn’t want to cancel it since it’s not like the days I missed this week were particularly pleasant or relaxing.

I feel terrible about promising a marathon and then missing half the days so far! So we’re kicking off a new marathon — starting today, and concluding Tuesday, June 3.

• Today (5/30) posting at 6:30 PM
• Saturday (5/31) between 2-4PM (just not sure because I’m floating a grocery store trip in my head tomorrow, but I also might not lol)
• Sunday (6/1) 11AM – 1PM (may go to my parents for the game, so it would be earlier)
• Monday (6/2) posting at 3PM
• Tuesday (6/3) posting at 6:30PM

Once I finish that marathon, we’ll go back to the Tues/Thurs schedule for a few weeks (but we have a wisdom teeth removal & curriculum writing and possibly summer school) We’ll play it by ear  🙂

ETA Thurs 5/29: This week is conspiring against me and I’m so irritated. About ten minutes before I was supposed to start today (Thurs 5/29), my Bluetooth keyboard just stopped connecting to my computer. It took 30 minutes to fix, and I missed my window. The Phillies have a double header because a rain postponed game, and I only had a short window between games to write. (Also, it gets too much past 6:30, and I’m just too tired after going back to work today).

New schedule — updating everyday between tomorrow (5/30) and Tuesday (6/1) so you get the marathon I promised you! And you’ll probably prefer this because Monday’s update was supposed to be the weekend cliffhanger, and you’ll thank me for not waiting more than 24 hours. I think

Ugh, I don’t know what happened, but that cold hit me like a freight train. I was struggling on Monday (and I know that update felt wonky), but yesterday, I was just down for the count. I even took another sick day today which I never do. The only time I’ve ever taken two days in a row was with Covid. I’m starting to feel better, and the head congestion has finally receded, so I’m back to work tomorrow. I’ll make up for missing Tuesday by continuing my marathon into Saturday 🙂

ETA May 27: Cancelling today’s update. The cold got worse overnight and I ended up taking a sick day. Going to rest up so I can get back to work tomorrow. 

May 26

Update Link: Dear Reader – Part 28

Writing this at 4:45, really hoping I can finish today’s update as planned. I pushed updates until today because I was feeling tired and figured lemme take a few days to rest up  — and then last night, as the day wore on, I felt a sore throat developing. You know when you can just feel a cold almost crawl up your throat? Is that a weird way to describe it? That’s always how my head colds feel.

Anyway — I’m going to forge ahead and try to write today as best I can. The plan is to update daily this week, usually posting between 5:30-6pm depending on what time I start.

As always, I appreciate the understanding and patience with updates being haphazard and off-schedule. I really do strive to deliver on promises, but sometimes it just isn’t possible.

See you tomorrow!

Hey guys! Just popping in to let you know the update schedule for the next two weeks. I had been hoping to do an update yesterday (Fri, May 23) and today, but it just didn’t work out. As always, I somehow find myself behind in real life things, and the two new kittens are amazing, but challenging. They’re into everything, lol, so I need to straight up a few things and spend some time kitten proofing.

I will be updating Flash every day this week, beginning Monday and ending on Friday. I’m going to start writing at 4:30 and post around 5:30. So I’ll see you for the first update on Monday!
