Think Out Loud [51] May Daze


May has kicked my butt. 5 posts, that's all I've managed, 6 with this one. It started with John screaming that it hurt to pee. That issue took two weeks to resolve, two trips to the doctor (one of them being the specialist who took out John's kidney when he was 1), and a mohawk haircut. That's right, I wiggled a boatload of happiness out of him by way of a rockin' haircut, or he worked my mom-concern for him and negotiated a mohawk. Whatever. He's five. All five year old boys and girls should get a mohawk at least once. It's that cute. 

Then  my computer decided to freak out on me. I was in the middle of preparing ARC's for the third book in my Touched Girl series, and BAM, messages kept popping up, my computer kept shutting down and not starting up. And the really bad thing was that I could not call for tech support that week. I have a rule, everyone in my life actually has this rule for me, I am not allowed to call tech support or customer service during a certain time of the month (every month). Yep. Let's just say there was one time I was having a dispute with Chase over fraudulent claims on my account and maybe I called them thieving bastards. 

Then the very day my computer drama was resolved my clutch went out. Yep. I took it to the shop because the girl just had no oomph, which is how I described my car issue to the guy behind the counter. 

John is all better (and looks so dang adorable especially since he lost his two bottom teeth). My computer is fixed and the ARCs are out. And the first time I shifted into first after the new clutch was put in, I squealed at the power, grabbed the wheel with both hands and I'm not joking said, "I wanna learn how to race cars!" 

So it's all good, people. There are a bunch of review marathons in my near future and catching up to do on everyone's blogs. I've missed you all.

  1. Awww I missed you too Robyn! I would come on here waiting for something from you and I get the others. LOL But it's great to see everything gone well for you over this hectic month.

    And a mohawk is definitely an adorable style for kids.

    1. Ki! How's preparing for the big trek going? How many times have you packed and unpacked? I'm a terrible procrastinator and an even worse packer. I can't wait to stop by and visit. I've missed chatting with you!!

    2. LOL I some how only went a a spree for a week or two and now everything is back to normal. It doesn't even feel like I'm going to go on a huge trip. And I haven't packed again since that first time so it's going great I suppose. I might be losing energy....But, I think I might end up exploding when the last minute hits.

  5. You didn't tell me THAT was why you didn't call tech support! ;) Hmm, Rock Chick really did come at a good time for you. *ha* I'm glad your little man is better and has a rockin' haircut. I'm glad your computer is repaired and you got your arcs out. And I'm glad you're gonna be a race car driver! ;) But mostly I'm just glad you're my friend, who makes me laugh, and reads Rock Chick with me! TWO weeks from tomorrow, girlie... *hugs*

    1. You cracked me up! I could be a race car driver. You should see me take corners. I totally omitted my tech support rule when I told you I was trying to resolve the problem myself. It's terrible! Who has a do not call the service industry rule? I love reading Rock Chick with you and it did come at a the best time. I want to read it again! Two more weeks! Yay!!

    1. Yes! Here's to a beautiful and interesting June! May was all over the place. I'm ready for hikes and ice cream cones. Do you have any summer plans?

      Delete
    2. No I don't. Everything is hanging by a thread. I feel like I'm walking here then suddenly jumping there.
      But ice cream cones sound good.:)
