this week has felt almost like a soap opera in some ways. today, took the wife into the ER this morning because she was slumped at her desk crying with a headache when I got back from dropping the kids off at school. Was not a good thing to witness. She barely ever cries, so I knew it was pretty bad. After much diagnosis and stuff there, they finally hooked her up to an IV and got some pain medication into her to help out. she SAYS she’s doing much better, she ran my son up to guitar practice for a half hour today. We’ll see. I just got dinner going here, and I have 3 pages to color today. 11 pages done at the end of today, half a book in 3 days. I do indeed love this new Cintiq because I think it really IS making me faster and better.

In related drama, mortgage is due next week, and medical bills and all SORTS of other stuff the week after that, and I’m HOPING HARD that my next check will be here before then. In fact, I pretty much need my next check to come about a week after this one gets here. I definitely need to get some more funds in here before the 10th of March, or I just won’t be able to go to Wizard World LA on the 13th. It seems like a long way off, but I’m going to be hunkered down here for at least 3 weeks working on 2 books that are both due next month. So before I know it, it’s going to be the 2nd week of March I think. ugh.

I’ve put the kids on notice today as well, on the way back from picking them up from school. ANY sort of crap behavior, arguing, fighting, bickering, complaining, that they’ve been doing for the last few days, will NOT be tolerated the rest of the week. Usually they get a warning and a chance to correct whatever they’re doing. Not right now, I’m just too stressed to deal. So they’ve been told that ANYTHING that they know they shouldn’t be doing, is landing them in their bedrooms grounded for a week. I don’t have time or patience anymore this week to deal with it. So we’ll see how much fun THAT is the next couple days. K, fast typing aside, I’ve spent almost 5 minutes on this post, time to find my energy pack and get to work!
