Lent or No Sweets for Kiera, Day 6-7

Not feeling very wordy today either.  My cold/flu whatever from last week is mostly gone, (my voice is still messed up), but it seems to have settled in my lungs now.  I feel like I can't catch my breath, but there's nothing to cough up that's blocking the airways or anything.  So it feels like my asthma flaring up, which it has a tendency to do in response to any lung related illness.  So that's fun.  On the no sweets front:  yesterday I had one of James's fruit snacks.  Just one, not a bag.  I don't think I had anything I wasn't supposed to today.  I did have some hot apple cider this evening as I've found that sometimes helps open my airways, but I don't think that counts.  I've noticed that at the times when I suddenly think I need a treat or something, if I pay attention I realize that I'm actually just hungry.  So if I notice myself getting hungry and go eat something right then I don't really have a craving for sweets later.  It's only when I'm really hungry that I suddenly think I need a candy bar.

 In other news I have been thinking about ideas for writing a book.  I tried going back to school and I'm just not feeling it, but I'm getting into this book writing idea.   I actually know real live people who are authors and have been published and stuff, I think I could totally do it.  I have a couple of good ideas now that I'm trying to work on when the mood hits.  The problem has been that the mood hits when my kids are on the computer and I have nowhere to type.  Today for instance I was folding the laundry and thought I should think about my story I've got going in my head.  So I was doing that and I think I came up with some pretty good ideas, but then I couldn't type them up 'cuz James was on the computer and the fight from throwing him off wasn't worth it.  I suppose I could have hand written them, but that seems to take forever.  So to keep myself from forgetting I went over them again tonight with Patrick....I guess it would make more sense to go type them instead of this blog but I'm tired from my 5:30am boot camp class this morning and I think I'll go to bed instead.  Oh and I got the newest Kim Harrison book waiting for me in my room. :)

you could totally write a book, cause you read a lot and stuff. The problem is staying dedicated. I think. Aparently lots of people I know are in writers groups...or are published authors.
