Weekend… why do you keep sneaking up on me?!

Last weekend seems like it was eons ago, but the pie-day was very fun. We made apple pies, a pear pie, and a lemon meringue pie! It was a great time visiting with my friends, one of whom I haven’t gotten to see for quite a while.

Cookies AND Pies!

This week has been a bit overshadowed by the breaking of a tooth. RIGHT down at the root. Thankfully it was a tooth that had a root canal done on it ages ago, so there was no exposed root to worry about, but it was such a break that I’ll have to eventually do a tooth implant. I’m going in to get an implant on ANOTHER broken root-canal tooth later this month (after three years with a plastic “flipper,”) but I can’t really afford to get both done at the same time so… basically… I’ll be trading out the flipper for one on the other side for a few years.

May my life after this be relatively calm in the dental realm….

Other than that, the week has been pretty average for me, on a personal level. Nationally… well… it’s a different matter. I was pleased with the progress made in the midterm elections (and that is still being made) but the news that has come the rest of the week is sobering at best and I’m still trying to figure out just what I can do about it all.

I’ve not made much progress with NaNo this year either… it’s been hard, I just haven’t felt that push of inspiration on anything I’ve tried, but I’m hoping, this weekend, to spend some time just focused on my writing. I might make it out to a few of the write-in’s that are being hosted, that may help me get in the mood, and I’m hoping to make some progress still. Writing is good for me, it’s good for my soul, and I think I need a bit of that soothing I can feel when I have a story flowing through me.

What are you up to this weekend? How has your week been? How are you feeling?
