And it sucked. Apart from when Peanut and Chickpea were born, I’ve never spent a night in hospital. I kinda hoped I’d go the duration of my life without needing to undergo surgery. Alas, this was not the case. Last week I underwent surgery. Nothing major, but enough to keep me there two night (I was meant to stay for another two but begged the very nice doctor to go home – probably a bad idea, on reflection because all Chickpea wants to do is jump on me and with three cuts to the tummy, that’s not a good thing).
Anyways, I’m home, sore, confined to the bedroom, trying to write, reading, watching Buffy reruns, Ryan Reynolds movies, getting a numb bum from sitting in bed too long, getting bored, fighting with writer’s block, fighting with my husband because he won’t let me out of the bedroom, fighting with my girls cause they won’t leave me alone, fighting with my laptop cause it won’t stop being hot on my thighs and generally being a big lump of grump.
Since Thursday last week I’ve read Sherrilyn Kenyon’s Night Pleasures, Night Embrace and have just begun Dance With the Devil (I have a sneaking suspicion my husband may be the inspiration for the Dark-Hunter, Zarek. They’re both arrogant, conceited, snarky, pissed-off and sexy). I’ve read Bianca D’arc’s Lords of the Were and Jess Dee‘s Ask Adam on my iphone (man, if you are a contemporary erotic romance fan you have to, have to, have to read Ask Adam. As soon as I finish this blog I’m off to damage my credit card with the rest of Dee’s books!) and have just loaded Sydney Somers’ Enslaved to read tonight.
What else? I’ve finished the second round edits of Death, The Vamp and His Brother (*waves to my editor*) and have jumped backward and forward between Bound By Defiance and Ven, The Were and His Sister depending on what mood I’m in when the words want to come (Bound is much more erotic than VWS, at the moment but that may change in the next few thousand words. I’ve started hunting for images to make a trailer for Death, The Vamp and His Brother but so far can’t find a single image that suits, so I’m cranky about that. Grrrr
Movies – Definitely, Maybe (love love love), Marley and Me (made me cry), Wall-E (beautiful), St Trinians (Colin Firth….*drool*), Serenity (I want more Captain Tightpants, damnit!!!).
I’ve eaten ten Tim Tams since regaining consciousness in the hospital bed, drank sixteen cups of tea, too many bottles of water and wish I could uneat all the Tim Tams because now I feel guilty.
My tummy hurts like hell and I want to take the dog for a run around the block. I’ve tried to speedwrite twice with my bestest bud Dawn Montgomery twice and both times have fallen asleep on her after about twenty words (I am sooooo sorry, Dawn. Please, please, please forgive me. I will be better soon. Promise!).
What else? My girls are sending my husband insane and I can hear him trying not to strangle them through the bedroom door as I type (he’s trying to bath them. Hee *grin*)
Oh, and I’ve watched the movie trailer for Transformers 2 too many times to keep count and wish I was well enough to go to the movies so I could watch Star Trek for the third time on the big screen.
Did I mention I’m bored?
Okay, that’s it for this stream of post-op rambling. I will be back. Honest.
