Hey all
Decided to keep the rant in a rant. I'm tired of my body. Want a new one, NOW.
I'm trying to do a few things to get extra income. One of those things is helping other writers get their books ready.
Finally had someone that wanted a book formatted for e-book. I'm good at it--honest. It took me HOURS and HOURS because my hands just don't work right.
I am having a lot of problems with dropping things now--even my darn laptop. I've dropped it twice in a few days.
I'm falling -- a lot. I go to stand and the legs just don't support me. Go to lift something and it just slips from my hands.
My writing and the ability to write are the one thing that I've always had. I wrote the beginning of a new book the other day--2k words. It took me an entire evening to type those words. I used to be able to type almost as fast as I can think. 80wpm was a breeze. Now? 20wpm if I'm lucky.
On a good note, my book is starting to sell pretty well--my check in two months should be a couple hundred dollars. If it keeps up like that--I'll have the extra income I need.
We have to move the end of this month--and there is just no way I can help. I can't lift boxes--right now, I don't think I can even pack them. My hands and arms are useless. I have a nice rolling walker--great--but my hands don't work well enough for it to be real useful outsider of the house.
I can still use my scooter--but I sure can't load it in and out of the car. I'm really, really, tired of not being able to do things I should be able to do!
Rant over.
