spankerellaSeveral, several things today.
First, let me welcome![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mama_terra's new baby Angela Rose into the world as of Monday. Congrats!
Second. big hugs tosatyrnfive and bigger hugs to tthjinni. You guys are both gonna be all right. You know this. It just might take time. Until then, you both know where to find me.
My mother is retiring. Well, she's having to retire. She is not happy about it, but she's coming around. I am pretty much having to take care of everything. She was a teacher, so I am dealing with her school district and TRS. Teacher Retirement System of Texas. It's been a pain. There's so much stuff involved. I have to take care of everything. It's weighing on me. My brother, of course, is no help. I just feel like I have to do everything, all the time. It's making me crazy. It's worse because of the retirement crap. It's even worse still because her doctors can't seem to get her pain under control, so she's waking me every two to three hours asking for pain medicine, and I can't just leave it out for her. She forgets when she takes it. That's part of the reason she ended up in the hospital back in August. She was over-medicating herself and not eating enough. I can not CAN NOT go through that bullshit again. Not right now. I don't have the strength.
In other news, I have not gotten my October royalty check from ComStar yet. I need it. Badly. I wanted to avoid being bitchy, but I've sent nice emails and they have not been responded to. It's worrisome. I also know I am not the only author not getting replied to. I would like to stay with ComStar because they really did take a chance on me, but they are making me wonder if I should now. I hate this feeling. Plus, I really don't have time to worry about this right now.
The last thing... I have been having weird dreams. Nothing I want to talk about really. Just dreaming of things and people I ought not be dreaming about in the way I am dreaming about them. There have also been nightmares. I am getting to the point where I am anxious about going to sleep these days.

This holiday season, to combat the seasonal blues, I'm planning on doing lots of baking. If you'd like to be on my goody-list, let me know. Now that I'm back on Nights, at 2AM, when I'm wide awake, cooking it therapeutic for me...and I just can't eat all this stuff, LOL!
Hope you get your $$$ soon.
