Night Off!

So, last night I actually had an event, though it wasn’t writing or book signing related – it was more like a night off. Instead of ‘working’, my husband and I went to see Great Big Sea. They are what you’d call ‘Celtic Rock’ and while I like their unique sound, my husband is a huge fan.
It was my first time to Little 5 Points and the Variety Playhouse (yeah, I know, I don’t get out much). The venue was small and it was interesting to see the eclectic mix of retail stores which lined the streets of 5 Points.
We had a great time listening to the songs (and singing along in my husband’s case).
On the way home we talked about the show and both agreed they’d done a great job.
Of course, you can’t expect me NOT to work – on the ride to the highway home we went through a not-so-lovely neighborhood. Here is where I can pull more feel into my vampire series, Eideann’s war, particularly book one. I’d captured some great sights and sounds of the late night Atlanta streets.
Oh – I’m sick with some stupid head cold. It started yesterday and although I wasn’t feeling up to getting dressed (in something other than sweat pants and a t-shirt), and go out into the cold night (it was very cold here last night), I did. Certainly it was worth it!
So for today, I’m taking it easy - getting rest, eating my grandmother’s secret recipe for chicken soup and trying to mend for my appearances this week and weekend.
Although I have to say, editing with a head cold takes even longer. I’m finishing up a new column which I’m writing for Polymancer Magazine titled, ‘Beyond the Grave’. This is the debut of the article and while I had most of it complete and ready – this illness has come at a really bad time (Imagine that). But I promise, Andrew, you’ll have my new column before deadline.
So, please excuse me while I go get another helping of soup, more juice and another box of tissues – it’s gonna be a long day.
