Seeing Red

It's post holiday and I'm in the stage where my home is a giant mess from the things I didn't get to before I had to travel.

And, I can't do a thing about it right now.

All I can do is wonder if and when my nose may stop bleeding.

This isn't new for me. I used to get bloody noses all the time as a child. 

One time, it was so bad my parents almost had to bring me to the hospital. That one was after jumping into our pool. 

I suspect I am getting this one because of the dryness from home heating. All I can do is lubricate once it stops. 

And it has. Finally. I just need to give it a moment before I put anything up there.

I suppose it's that time of the year where one should just relax anyway, but after reading a friend's blog post on Goodreads I discovered I used to have my own blog connected, but never updated it when I changed its home. I've now fixed that.

This is likely all the progress I will achieve this week as I get my booster shot tomorrow and my arm is likely to be sore at the very least. The previous ones made it hard to lift my arm much at all. And I know some people who have had it hit them much harder than the first two shots did, so we'll see how it goes for me.

Here's my Goodreads in case you're wondering about it: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/15072512.Rae_Roy

I hope everyone has a wonderful New Year's despite the current reality.

2024 - Week 5

It was still January for most of this week, a.k.a. The Neverending Month. Then it became February!  Each month, I do pull a card from my Music Oracles deck. Last month was Bob Marley. February's card is Nina Simone. A piano playing rebel & multiple genre legend will hopefully make for a phenomenal month ahead. I still haven't done a goals post for 2024. January was a lot. My goals for this year are: - Complete Sparker  and query agents. - Complete The Curse of...  and submit it to a screenplay contest. - Complete the declutter of Tiny Condo. - Blog at least once per week. - Cross train for curling and softball. - Learn piano. - Self-care with crafts, reading, gaming, and sports. I've tweaked my schedule to make this happen. I'd also like a partner, but I feel weird about setting it as a goal.

Frisky Friday - Maple Syrup Porn

[caption id="attachment_10523" align="alignright" width="300"] Image created using Bitmoji[/caption] While delving into some Canadian film history this week, I learned that there is a thing called Maple Syrup Porn. I laughed when I read the term. I thought, "Is our adult film industry really called Maple Syrup Porn?" It's not. Some is Canadian, but it mostly refers to getting around censorship of sex. It was not only common in Quebec due to religion, but several places in the US. You can read more about it here . If you're looking to heat things up this weekend, consider a sweet old film from the early days of the sexual revolution. Maybe even drizzle a little syrup on your partner ;) Guid cheerio the nou, R~
