I Think I Can Write: 43.13 - Explanation Not Included

Incorporate a lyric by JJ Grey:

Song Free: Line: Don't let go, some let go

Include a math term or equation.

I think this is just going to be a ramble. I need to explain, Lucy!

2(x-1) + 8 = 4x - 20

Solve for x

No?

Something else?

The answer is 13

Do I write this like I do in my journals? Eh, I don't even know anymore.

There's a countdown to Doctor Who on New Years. I can't wait. I guess my brain is focused. When it's focused like that, I don't let go.

Some know how to already let go. I eventually let go. Then it all comes back to me. I have to practice my mantras and forgive all over again.

In a distant future, I do plan on being a writer. I just didn't think it was going to force my hand sooner!

I work full time! And my husband is on the verge of losing his job!!!

I was writing stories for the group, but then I felt like I was discouraged. It's not on you. It's on me and my mental mind.

So, I was watching Dark Shadows last May through July. That's 2019. I was watching it so much, I forgot to even exercise at all. I mean I was always fat, which meant I wasn't exercising the way I should have been.

Now I have a routine.

I also have more work hours in my schedule. I used to work 4 days one week, and 5 days the next. It was all considered full time, and I accepted it!

Now, I can use all the money I can get. That extra 8 hours every other week? That helps a bit. I know that sounds weird, but every little bit helps. In return, I'm tired. But I come home and I clean. I take the dogs out. I get ready for bed. Lately, I've been exercising in the mornings. I only wish I didn't start while it's so cold out!!! LOL. Hush you non-Floridians! LOL. You don't know what I'm going through with my thinned out blood. And it seems the more I exercise, the colder I get. Last year, the cold didn't even bother me. Huh! I sound like Elsa.

I tried doing "What can go right?" In hopes to be funny. I always wind up being dramatic. Life is full of tests.

The unknown.

Most of us have experienced the unknown. It's a very scary place. For some of us, living in the unknown can lead us to prosperity or poverty.

I can only hope that whatever unknown I enter into, it won't wind up with me being homeless. I want to get out of my comfort zone more. I want to write more, or make crafts to sell through Etsy. I don't know. I just know I was born to do something crafty, and not sit behind an office all day.

The only good thing is the people there like me. I have a job with health benefits. These are all comfort zones where nothing ever grows. Not even my IRA account. Yes raises are inevitable. But what else?

But with work and exercise, I barely have time to work on my editing in order to even publish it properly onto a blog. But I will get there.

I feel like I'm floating in outer space. Can you hear me, Major Tom?

Also, it doesn't help there's been a whole Doctor Who marathon going on. I'm waiting for the Doctor with the blue call box spaceship to show up on New Years Day!!!

I'll get there...but I wanted to say something.

I get easily sensitive. I don't know why...I just do. I'm hard on myself to begin with, so when someone is critical on me, I take it to heart. I have to remind myself that not everyone has compassion or empathy or sympathy. I also have to remember that this is the internet, so people feel they can say whatever they like and cower behind the screen.

I think if I met you in real life, you wouldn't behave in such a manner. But that's when you know you must be doing something right, I guess. When people are petty enough to insult you. It must mean I'm going in the right direction.

The only thing now that I have to re-train my brain on is to just not read the comments. Or read them with a grain of salt. But why salt? Eh? Why not rice? I'm just curious.

So, let me get back to the beginning. Watching Dark Shadows. I felt that Dan Curtis, the creator, ended some of the storylines with no closure.

My visions while exercising, I saw this as a means to give the characters some closure. I was planning on wrapping up stories one and two based off the soap opera, but by story three (which I already have 3 and 4 plotted), it will be an original storyline. I'm just wrapping up the final visits from the late 18th and 19th century.

Well, that's how I had placed it in my head. Story 4 goes back in time from the soap opera standard. But then I'm done! LOL

I'm done rambling...I think.

Sorry, I've been a total wreck over my husband with his job situation.

I'm keeping the faith...
