UPDATE: The winner is…Beverly Blank!
*~*~*
April
Work-related:
- I completed 2 editing projects for other authors in April!
- I pushed the deadline for submissions for the anthology entitled Burn until mid-June.
- And yes, this is such meager progress, but the fact I did anything at all is a miracle! 🙂
Health-related:
- The big accomplishment this month was that I underwent surgery on April 1st to get my girlie parts removed. I’ve been recovering all month since, and there’s still a ways to go.
- I had another immunotherapy appointment, so I’m good to go for another six weeks with my cancer treatment.
Happiness-related:Â
- I resumed my participation in #the100dayproject around mid-month. Here are a few small pieces I completed:
May
For work-related, I plan:
- To complete 3 editing projects in May.
- To assemble a group of short stories to publish together in a second Ultra Strokes volume.
- To continue writing Ignition. It’s time to get back to the real work!
For health-related, I plan:
- To focus on recovery! Rest and light exercise.
- To start swimming as soon as the pool is ready. I figure I’ll be healed enough by mid-May! Woot!
- To see an optometrist to address the issue of the deterioration of my vision due to chemo. I need a new prescription, but I also want to know what I’ve lost and if it will get worse.
For happiness-related, I plan:Â
- To spend time with the family while I recover from surgery and get ready for the summer break. I can’t wait to have the kids home.
- To continue the #100dayproject and create more art.

I’m hoping to read a lot in May! My June is starting to look super busy so I won’t be able to read much. I don’t have a plan for which book but I have a Karen Marie Moning book and a Richard Galbraith book I’ve been wanting to find time to read for a while so maybe I’ll read them.

May’s plan includes being here with Gram for another two weeks. For me – getting at least 4-6 inches of hair cut off back and covering the gray, cannot wait it’s almost been a year since I did anything to pamper myself. Work of course and plan to read more of the older releases by my fav authors – including Uncharted Seals.

Any progress is still progress.
I am having a garage sale on Saturday, should be fun.

I enjoy seeing your projects on the #100 day projects. They’re always colorful & very pretty. Any kind of progress is good. I’m not sure what I’ll be reading….I just pick my next read as I go….whether it’s something on my TBR pile or something that’s new & has caught my eye.

I spoke to a realtor to find me a house close to family; found a new lawn maintenance company – the old one caused me too much stress

Congrats on a job well done. For me May brings a cruise.

I am trying to get all the documents I need to get my REAL ID driver’s license.

Try to get more organized. The voices are demanding to be put on paper. I need to go through bills to shred older stuff. May is the 6th month for dr visits and tests to deal with.

Thanks to everyone who commented! I appreciate the support and love hearing what you have planned!
