A Day of Ups and Downs

This morning I woke up early. I decided to sit and check my email and look into my publisher’s website. I was surprised to see that three more of my books were sold. That makes a total of five books!

I was ecstatic. This confirmed that my books are reaching readers. For a while I was happy. But wouldn’t you know, I had a disappointing lunch. It turned out that the kitchen had a new cook. I was so looking forward to eating sweet and sour meatballs and rice. What I got was three mounds of puréed stuff. Tasting each gave me no clue what they originally were.

So I put the cover over the plate and went to the kitchen. I asked them what the mounds of food were. Funny enough, nobody could answer me, including the cook.

I am resigned to getting Mia-steps in the kitchen. Breakfast was good. The oatmeal was well done. Dinner was chicken tenders and I ate one but stayed away from the overcooked parts.

I’m going to be at peace about today. No day is all-perfect. I’m dreaming of life when I can write again.
