a pause - attack of the appointments!

I subbed a few times this week, as well as getting kidnapped and taken out to lunch. Next week, I have three different appointments: gynecologist, optometrist, and neurologist. I am feeling the lack of writing time, but as I have been waiting for the chance to write more, I have been mulling things over in my mind. I know I have a lot of changes to make in the novel to make it flow correctly; I feel like I'm tripping over a rug that needs to be straightened so it will lay flat on the ground again! I have made some notes on the sticky note computer program (J put that on my computer for me!) to help me keep track of what needs to be reviewed and altered. I think I may go back through and double check things a few times before I continue on. There isn't much point in continuing to write when you might be following a train of thought that is going to be cut out anyway. It is time to get my writing back on the right track again - time for the first round of revising and double-checking. I will let it be until after we finish traveling and visiting this weekend, and after I have conquered my appointments. In the meantime, I am expressing my creativity in the kitchen - I blanched, diced, and froze some tomatoes that would have gone bad if I left them in the fridge, and now I am getting ready to make some potsticker filling so the cabbage in the fridge doesn't go bad before we get back from all of our running amok.
