I meant the total length of my stories. My fastest write ever was Shadow Effect. I did 40 chapters in 4 months which was insane. For whatever reason, the characters were speaking to me loud and clear. Not the case with this current story.

Moving absolutely sucks. I'm right there with you. Changed jobs, had to move, then 8 months later the landlady decided to be an extra- level *itch. She was a pain in the ass. So we up and moved again. Thrown in the middle of this were health issues and hurricanes. I started a new story last January. I don't know how long it will take to finish. I'm only 8 chapters in and I usually crank out 25-35 chapters. This one is challenging me as I know the direction I want it to go in but finding the motivation to write is almost nonexistent. On a more positive note.... the sun finally poked through the clouds today! It's been raining and overcast all week, plus cold for Florida. Thankfully the weekend is supposed to go back to normal and I can ditch the jackets. Have a good weekend everyone!

I'll take snow over ice any day. I got caught in an ice storm when I was in college. Slid through an intersection and down a hill. I didn't get traction until I got to the bottom. Then I had to go over a bridge and up the hill on the other side. I was driving my mom's 1978 Dodge Dart (I think that's what it was) and just barely made it up the hill. To this day it's the scariest drive I've ever had to do. Stat warm everyone!

No snow where I'm at. Mostly up in the panhandle. But it is cold enough to see your breath. It's raining too. I've been wearing socks for a while now because of the issue with my ankle tendon. I've been forbidden to wear flip flops on a regular basis. However... I don't do plain socks. I had to get some, so of course I got some patterns... unicorns, dogs, bananas, bumblebees and a lot of stripes and geometric designs. Life's too short to wear plain socks lol. Stay warm and dry everyone and have a good week!

Breadsticks are being stubborn. I think there's something wrong with the oven.

Oh those naughty pups!

I hope you both feel better soon! I really hope things start improving for you. Any chronic illness or condition is hard to deal with. I've been battling just a general malaise and fatigue the last two weeks or so. It's hard getting motivated when your body just wants to do nothing. I'm pretty sure it's stress related. The past four months have pushed my mental and emotional health to their limits but things have been slowly getting better and I've been doing my best to remain positive. I hope everyone has a good day and a relaxing weekend.

That's awesome! Congratulations... it's a win-win for everyone!

Looks can be deceiving. 😈

Thanks Anton! I'm glad you enjoyed it! The breadsticks are baking. It'll be a little bit before they're done.

This is Lilibeth isn't it?

Florida has announced it will no longer participate in winter. If all y'all up north could kindly come get your cold air we'd appreciate it. Wind chill is in the 30s for us today. The falling iguana index is at DEFCON 5. Stay warm everyone!

Jeez...you brought me back in time to high school and college biology classes. Lots of great information though. Even without a zombie virus the human body is an amazingly complex thing. I'm glad the boys will have their own space. They need it. I'm so glad your muse has decided to get up off it's ass and inspire you! (Can you tell it to give mine a call? Thanks)

How do you know?

You're welcome! He deserved it.

I would really love to meet your pups!

Social media can be a rabbit hole. I'm on it sparingly, mostly scrolling when I'm bored to watch cute dog reels. Yesterday at work, I was out on the golf cart (preferred mode of transport lol) when a couple flagged me down. An African gray parrot had flown up to them and perched on their rig. The bird promptly flew on top of the golf cart. I gotta admit, it was a beautiful bird. The bird would let you get close, or give it a cracker but flew off if you tried to catch it. I asked my activity director to post a notice on the community Facebook site (I don't belong) to see if anyone in the park had lost it. A few hours later after multiple shares she got a response. A couple 2.5 miles away had lost their bird on New Years Eve when he flew out the door when someone was coming in. They were devastated. In the meantime, my housekeeper and maintenance guy had managed to catch the bird and had him in their RV. Ziggy was reunited with his owners who were ecstatic. Happy ending credited to the power of social media. It was a good way to start off the year.

Welcome back, my friend! Wherever the new inspiration came from... run with it while you can! Thank you for this. It's good to see the survivors are still hanging in there and making some solid plans for the future. Hopefully Jake will prove a useful addition to the group.

I'm a little late to the party but Happy New Year everyone. I, for one, am glad to put one dumpster fire of a year behind me. I'm looking forward to getting on with life and focusing on being happy and healthy. It'll take some work but now that I've kicked the nasty norovirus, I feel up to it. Have a good year!

Yeah... it's usually me.

Go bed.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Leave it to @Danilo Syrtis to create a mountainium out of a mole holium.

I'm sure the threat still exists. There's no statute of limitations.

The damn doghouse has been rebuilt so many times I might as well build a dog mansion and throw all of you in it.
