It’s been a couple weeks, I apologize for the missing blog posts. It’s been a hot minute at work learning new things and my mini human has been a hot mess of frustration lately. That aside, I still wanted to come talk about what’s going on in my world and what fun has been going on off screen.

So first of all, I want to address the title. A coworker/friend was on a hunt for a short notice officiant who could make her legally bound to her significant other as they were quickly running out of time. Apparently, I was ignorantly unaware of Jewish rules and holidays for marriages and well, there wasn’t a lot of available days left before the license was no good. In steps me and my big/humorous mouth during a meeting. I joke that someone on the team should just become an officiant and make it all happy legal. Somehow, this escalated and I am now a legal officiant and I made it all legal in a park only a couple days later.

Because I am hilarious, I told one of my siblings they ought to marry their long time partner and make things a bit more legal since their state doesn’t actually recognize common law marriages. My little sibling tells me they aren’t ready yet because they need rings that they can’t afford yet and meanwhile the significant other reaches out to my mother to ask me to work on flowers. I would say it’s entirely possible I do another one of these legal makings again in the future based on the responses. Time will tell. For now, it was nice to help someone that needed something simple.

Well, that brings us to the boring bit. What else is going on lately that has you so distracted? Man, I wish I could pinpoint where my brain is at lately. Stress is a bitch, and I can’t stress that enough. That said. My fantastic, wonderfully, not sure how I deserve them, significant other and partner in most dangerous activities and myself, of course, have begun the process of initial read through and edit notes on my assassin manuscript. It’s grueling and painful to read. Not going to lie, when I finished it I was like “holy balls, I put so much love and effort into this story.” I had this muse come down from the artistic universe and sit on my bed and tap me in the face while I was miserable AF with a migraine and go “Hey. Hey You. So, got this idea…” It just made me happy inside and I stumbled and crawled and felt my way around for a notepad and pen and I wrote it all down, the whole concept. Then a couple days later, another tap in the face while in bed with another migraine and MORE OF A CONCEPT. This was a damn jackpot for me. I was in idea heaven with this muse with a sadistic streak. Then I started reading this manuscript and I was thinking to myself “What absolute rubbish, my muse is going to be so distraught with me.” But you know what? That’s what edits are for, right? I’m going to get through this damn story in April and begin making actual edits in May so I can prep it for another read through again by summer.

So there you go. That’s what weird stuff is going on in my world. Thanks for checking in and keep on reading.
