My Tube of Toothpaste is Almost Empty

For context about this post please visit this link.

My tube of toothpaste is almost empty.

Why am I repeating my title in the body in the body of my post? Because I’m still in shock. I use a different kind of toothpaste than my husband and child. I always have. I have sensitive teeth.

And over the years I’ve had to buy new toothpaste for various reasons. Needed a different kind, lost the tube while traveling, it got old.

It got old because I didn’t brush properly. Yes, I’m revealing something about myself that I’m embarrassed by. But there’s a reason.

Enough backstory. The point is I never finished a tube of toothpaste. Not even travel sizes.

Why is it almost empty now, when it’s never been before? Because since the post I linked above, and the chipped tooth, I’ve made a point to brush my teeth every night. Because of my bad teeth and because I didn’t want my child to have bad teeth.

You see, after the chipped tooth, I finally got in to see a dentist. they fixed that tooth and one beside it (he refused to pull it). I also went back for my first cleaning in decades, and then back again. TWICE. To fix bad teeth.

I still have a few that need some love but nothing is causing me pain. Well, that’s another post, but no pain pre-dental work. And I have an appointment for my next cleaning in January.

My teeth have also started, slowly, looking whiter. They’re not perfect, I could use some braces, but they aren’t quite as stained as they used to be. And my kiddo has even gotten to where she doesn’t want my help to brush.

I might have skipped one night in three or four months. I’m so proud of myself that I am sharing my history of poor dental hygiene with strangers. Besides. It’s the little things. And right now I need all the happiness little things can bring me.

Don’t we all?

Thanks for reading.

coming soon, coronavirus, covid19, crash landing, crashdlanding, non-fiction, retail, self-quarantine, social distancing, update

Over the last several months (off and on for years really) I’ve come to the conclusion that I’ve been A: carrying a lot of extra weight—and I don’t just mean physical, and B: been hoping for something that just isn’t going to happen. So I’m making changes.

1. I’ve had more than one Facebook page, dedicated to different aspects of my creative outlets, and none of the got the attention I hoped, becoming a burden to maintain and a waste of time. So several weeks ago, I “unpublished” two of them, and am now focusing exclusively on Crash Landing. I’ve updated it’s look and theme, as well as my other social media. Check it out for some interesting goings-on.

2. I’m planning a monthly/weekly features, including “You Don’t Need” Monday’s (see what I did there?) and Spotlight Sunday’s where I’ll shine a light on other creators who just wanna share with the world, like me. Non-Fiction Friday will be where I discuss what’s happening in the world and how I’m feeling. #covid19anyone?

3. I have a YouTube channel, where I hope to share some interesting stuff, if I can get over my embarrassment. I mean, I have a GoPro, might as well use it. 🤷‍♀️

There’s more I’m sure I’m not remembering, but I’m trying to both simplify my life, and put myself out there for the world. I miss being creative, I love sharing that with others, and, I mean. I put all this work into some of this stuff. I might as well use it.

I hope everyone is staying safe, healthy, and trying to enjoy the #hermitlife. I am however in retail as a day job, so I can’t “self-quarantine”, no matter how badly I want too!

Always, thanks for reading! -c

black friday, news, publisher, update

I know it’s been a while since I’ve posted here. For anyone that might have paid regular attention, I apologize. 

But I’m back now, again. For good, hopefully. I’ve learned that I need an outlet for things, when I can’t or won’t say them elsewhere. So here I’ll be. 

So let’s catch up. 

  • My day job, the place that’s supposed to pay the bills until my “big break” (ha) changed my position and I’m forced to work in a department I’ve despised since day one. And every other department as well. It has wore me down physically and mentally, and I’ve decided I cannot do it any more, the moving constantly or the forced upon do department. I’m going to request a change as soon as possible, or seek other employment. 
  • I’ve also decided to send “Black Friday: A Zombie Story” to an actual publisher. I’ve been told by several that it’s worthy. It’s currently going through a thorough revision from my friend “The Editor”. She’s literally a friend who outright volunteered! She’s also an English Major so I KNOW it’ll be thorough. 
  • I have been brainstorming ideas for “Black Friday: A Ghost Story”, though I have however hit several snags. One of which being Tiny Human’s demanding yet adorable existence. 
  • Before ANY significant work is done on BF2 I am determined to finish my last “Very Short Fiction, though I’ve written myself into a very deep hole. Like, rabbit whole depth. Yes. that rabbit hole. 

That’s all I’ve got for now. Stay tuned for hilarious outrages and fictions galore!

Black friday a zombie story, update

I am sure all of my followers are still checking in daily, hoping for this post. So sorry for the wait. But, here it is. 

Since finishing my last project, I’ve decided to complete one that I stopped midway through. The posting of pages of “Black Friday: A Zombie Story” has been stopped in its tracks since February. Having a tiny human makes pretty much anything else difficult. And it’s only since she’s been sleeping in her crib instead of the guest bed with me that I was able to write anything, much less a seven “episode” Twisted Tale called “Handy Manny: Call Manny for Murder“. 

During and since the writing and posting of HM:CMFM I’ve been getting ideas galore. But I just recently decided to complete “BF” before doing or attempting anything else. A bit of an “unfinished business” kind of thing. 

So, starting next Thursday, “Throwback Thursday” or as I like to think of it “Black Friday on Thursday” (ironically) will resume. I also learned a lesson during my Twisted Tales feature. I’ll be updating and adding links to previous and following posts/pages to the older ones. So, you fine folks can start from the beginning. 

I’m sure all of this fantasmical news is going to skyrocket my stats, but I don’t do it for stats, obviously! I do it to spread joy and fiction to the world. Or just, like, five people. 

By the time I’ve concluded the posts, I’ll hopefully be at the point where everything in the BF document has been reviewed and mistakes corrected. My initial plan was to edit as I posted, so I could republish with a perfectly edited and updated document. 

The editing factor is one of the many reasons why it took me so long in the first place. 

So, here’s hoping we get back in a rhythm!

Black friday a zombie story, update, writing

I’m finally sitting down tonight to work on “Black Friday: A Ghost Story”. Well, technically I’m here, talking to you wonderful people! But still, my intent within the next ten minutes or so is to begin the process of writing on “BF:AGS” and post at least a few pages of “Black Friday: A Zombie Story” on facebook.

I figure since a lot of the people who want to read the new one, haven’t read the first one, I’ll post it for their reading pleasure!

I will be posting it here, as well, for those of you who wish to read it. Are there any of you left?

Anywho, I just wanted to update here, and let anyone reading know that I’m actually (trying, really hard) to be productive!
