Ladies and Gentlemen, thanks again for all the kind words and, well everything. I am managing to move on and even though things are not the greatest, it is getting better.
First, update about me and the fun we are having:
My Hubby has told me we can get a puppy, since no one in the house seems as easy as we were with Bear, even though he was pratcially deaf. But he was very active and fiercly loving and guarding of me. Right now, I admit I am not easy in the house and often get up and check to make sure windows are locked and so are doors.
So, I guess after a talk with everyone in the house, the decision was to get me a puppy. I choose, but whatever I choose needs to be ok’d by everyone and finally by my hubby. I have looked at Siberian Huskies (Which Dodger, my hubby’s dog was) but while everyone likes them, they are not to keen on the idea of having to make the backyard a fortress since huskies like to escape. My second dog was a mountain dog, loved everything about them, then got to life expectancy, and 7-9 is too short. So I declined that one. My mom suggested Belgium Sheppard’s, particularly the Malinois. I liked the dog, my hubby was not too keen on it. Something about it he just didn’t like.
Then the other day I saw a Golden Retriever, and I mentioned it. Everyone loved the idea, finding out from my parents that the wanted one, but never got the chance. My hubby didn’t like the puppy I picked out, but that was because he was a silver. And he thought it was albino. He soon found out that white/Soft golden/Silver whatever you would like to call them, is normal for the breed. So it sounds like now we need to wait to find one that isn’t $1200! I find them, but they are taken pretty quick. So since I am still looking for a job, that is another reason we are looking for one so quickly. It will be better on all of us if I am home with the puppy at first.
No we are not trying to replace Bear, there is nothing that can. But my family has always have dogs, and it feels so odd not to have one. Plus the cats are getting uppity, specially miss prissy princess Morgan. I think I will teach the puppy that it is a great thing to chase them. hehehehe. Hey! They chased Bear, and he had a long fluffy tail, they used to walk behind him swatting it. So revenge will be right…right???
LMAO!!
Ok, for the fun part. And you guys need to give a huge thank you to Lisa and My Universe, since Lisa has been here every step of the way helping me with getting on with life. Sleeping helped too, but she did with the support she gives me every step of the way for the last week. My Universe has done the same, and she has requested this before, and I thought I would give her a thank you.
Chapter 4 of What If is published, UNBETAED!!!! Any errors, blame me. I am only trying to make it easier on her since she was on vacation. She can go back and change it if she needs to, (She has the mystical power of Editor. Or Site Administer… Whichever, I gave her carte en blanche or however you spell it over the site in case she needed to do anything.) so she has the power to change it.
I will be working on the rest of the Next/Previous stuff without going out of my mind. oh yeah, a character list for In The End. With the blanks for charcters in there….. Of course if I feel like stopping to write, no one will mind right???
Trying to get back to looking at the glasses half full,
Wendy
To everyone who has expressed sympathies for the passing of my dog. I appreciate it all. Especially with everything that has happened since then, my Grandfather’s Alzheimer’s getting worse where I have gone and helped watch him during the day to give my dad a break while the rest of the family has worked to get him in a home. Today was the first time I was scared by him, and it was bad enough that my Mom and Dad told everyone that I can’t watch him again.
Basically my life has gone to hell in a very short amount of time. I had started a post about Bear, so that somewhere, are stored pictures of him and to let you guys know what a freaking awesome dog he was, also to maybe allow me to just remember the good things. But before I could do that, the news of my Grandfather came. Now he has had Alzheimer’s since 2008, but my Grandmother had been taking care of him, not really letting the rest of us know how bad he is getting in the day. So this hit most of us hard and unexpenctantly. He is very intelligent still, but has no control over his emotions nor does he remember who we are. He will argue with you very effectively, so you have to watch you say because he will use what you say against you in the argument. Today was the first time he had lost it with me, and he did it in a way that frightened me.
I loved and saved all your replies to my note and the chapter. I appreciate it so very much that you guys cared to give me those notes. It has helped. Alot.
But for right now, my Beta is on vacation, (lucky her, I wanted to be her since I learned where she was going!!!) and to be frank, I don’t know if I can write right now. Tomorrow I am supposed to rest, and this weekend, my mother and I are going to clean the house since neither of us have cared, both of us upset over what has happened and with all the other stuff that was happening before hand. It just has become so much, that to think a month ago, I was just worried about finishing getting well, (from being sick for well, wow, I just realized for half my life with something a simple operation would have solved 18 years ago) to my parents almost losing the house and my husband and I stepped in to save it, I needed to find a job asap to let my husband rest, to my dog getting sick then him dying, while I was watching my nephew, then this with my grandfather along with all the normal little things that just happen.
I have no idea how my Dad is handling all this since he has been with me dealing with it all, well I dealt with David more, and let me tell you, Sprout TV is a both a great thing and a bad thing. Great because since it will catch his attention and help keep him happy. Happy David=Happy Wendy, Marty and Dad. Yeah sad it took all three of us, and yes I took naps with him, to keep up with an almost 2 year old. Bad thing is, well, I can tell you all about Chica, and her new show and why she is getting a new show since her cohost now has a new show of his own. And the Star at night, has Stars as pupils and the woman wears the same bottom to her PJ’s with different shirts. Oh yeah, the Sharing Show, repeats the skits between the shows. Yes, it was on all the time…. And unfortunately, I had to see the purple dinosaur…
But my Dad is staying with my Grandfather all the times I am not, and God Bless him and his patience.
Now, for those of you that are also following me on Fanfiction, I just posted the chapter that my Beta had posted when all this started. She had no idea what was happening, and just approved the chapter that was marked ready for her to approve. And it was a straight copy and paste, so nothing different.
I’m really sorry, and will try to get back to the thing that makes me relaxed and happy as soon as I can handle it all again. Just be patient with me until then. Please.
Just to let you guys know, it’s still not going well with Bear, my dog. On top of that I had told my brother I would watch my nephew so he could take out his wife for a long weekend. He’s 1 1/2, so there’s a lot of watching to do, even with three of us. But on top of that Bear is not getting better, and in fact my hubby is staying with him tonight. My mom had been watching him and the princess, however, Bear took a turn for the worst. Marty said he is sore right now, but feeling a bit better.
So what does this mean? Well it means that Chapter 9 was only posted on here, never got a chance to post it on Fanfiction, and that the next chapter will come probably next week unless I want to escape. As it is a chapter that exposes who Ian is playing, I really wanted to work on it.
I’m sorry, I even brought my laptop along, but I just can’t get the muster to even pull it out. Luckily WordPress has an app for iPad, or you wouldn’t even get this. Please be patient, Bear is my second dog and my hubby’s first. And unlike Dodger (may he rip) we raised Bear from a puppy. So we have had him longer, he’s been perfectly healthy until this happened and we got hi when we first moved out together. Lots of emotions tied up. Most of my family is upset too. Then on top of that dealing with David, well he has made me forget Bear, but for the first time since my surgery, I took a nap, without any medicine.
Please be patient. I promise I am not forgetting anything, just need to… I have no idea. Thanks for all the reviews and well wishes. They have made me smile. Especially Duckbutt. Love the name and you have helped me tonight.
Chapter nine is ready. I am dealing with my dog of 13 years being very very ill. I’m sorry, but I and my family are upset. My beta posted the chapter, and I just logged on to let you know. Sorry no pics, or links.
As some of you may know, I have been encountering problems with my computer. Now I have run a virus scan, and it says nada. So I get to have the fun of digging into this thing and figure out what the hell is going on. So this means, while I can talk to you guys, and answers emails and Facebook, it will all be on my iPad. And this means no writing unless I can borrow someone else’s laptop during this time. And that is not a great thing since I am unsure who all has what. But the image above is close to what I want to do, but I own a laptop. I really want to throw it outside, but it is a good computer, just acting up.
On the other hand, I had an AMAZING amount of hits on my site for Chapter 8!! 934!!! One of these days I will surpass that 1,000 mark for one day. But for now I was doing the snoopy dance in my chair I am so happy!!! Thank you all and one for the hits!!! And extra kudos to those that reviewed, liked and rated the chapter and post. I really appreciate it. As soon as I think I can be safe getting the chapter edited and loaded, I will do so. And no, no one has guessed who Ian is going to play. Here is another hint. He has already been mentioned in the story a couple of times. But I gave you a pic out of my stash. Also, Skarsporn is restricted to lemon days. I did it for the first and the second. Just a hint of the chapters for you by the pics…
So Thanks, and wish me good luck. I am really tired of whatever it is messing everything up!
