I thought I would give you an update on where I am at. Life has been pretty rough. I recently lost my beloved Pixie my companion cat of 20 years. I am not doing well with her loss. As soon as I can afford it I hope to find another cat. I am really lonely without her. I was caregiver for my Mom for six years until she died. I was a caregiver for my brother Reid for 12 years until he died a couple of years ago. I am so alone. I would love to find a roommate if you know someone who loves good food. I am willing to do all the cooking.
As you may know I'm writing a Steampunk novel. While it doesn't completely follow the Steampunk conventions and as my Dad use to say it's close enough for government work. It has really changed in the year I have been working on it. It has the classic good versus evil and order versus chaos are anthropomorphic entities. Steampunk deals in fantasy and I have been writing science fiction and fantasy for many years. The book should be finished by year's end. A friend is going to pay for a professional editor. I will then be back here asking how to publish it.
I have approximately 2,000 new recipes that I need to get into a cookbook form. I am hoping to get my computer set up soon so I can start typing them in. You will be having new dinner ideas for quite a while.
I am still writing the Sunday Coffee Hour diary and am thinking of doing something different and sharing some of my poetry this Sunday. I have been doing a lot of recipes diaries.
I have a couple of ideas for paintings but need to set the desk up so I have a place to paint. I will be sure to show them here when I am finished. You can see my art at https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/1-michele-wilson
SNAP was cut off without warning and I haven't been able to get it reinstated yet. I am really struggling. They raised my rent and the phone and utilities are out of sight. I only have $75.00 left for food this month. I hate to ask but I really could use some help. I have PayPal at michelewilson327 at gmail dot com.
Other then going all Marvin the depressed robot from Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy and moaning "life, don't talk to me about life" I am hanging in there the best a 77 year old lady with severe arthritis can hang. I really appreciate all the friends and readers I have here.
