*****************************************************************************





Hey all, I need a slap on the wrist. I told you that I would be updating this weekly, and I haven't updated in...gods know how many weeks.



Thus far, I have been adrift in the choppy waters of unemployment yet again, stuck in the limbo of indecision; do I get another job that makes me so miserable I could just puke, or do I go to college now instead of five or so years from now when my children are in school? Choices, choices.



As of now, I have an extremely part time job working Sundays at a local Bistro, and it's nice. It definately keeps me busy and I'm one of those weird people that actually like to feel like their working for their money. I hate desk jobs. I hate sitting on my ass all day taking calls or whatever else people do at desk jobs. I like jobs where I feel like I'm actually doing something, and I can see the proof of that right in front of me. Application, people! Must have application!



But anyway, I've been looking for jobs and taking care of sick children and a sick husband for the last little while, and time has been escaping me. On top of that, insomnia has kicked into my system yet again, and has been ruthless, so I haven't been getting the sleep that I need to function. The good news about that is I get some of my best ideas when I'm exausted (or when I'm around water for some reason). The bad news is, that being exausted pretty much makes it so that I have absolutely no ambition to do anything. Fear not, though, for I have recieved the gift of sleep from my mother, in the form of little blue pills that taste like alum that she got over the counter at walmart. So, hopefully, that little problem will be taken care of. I'm much more motivated when I have eight or more hours of sleep.



Those of you who are following The Tracker, prepare yourselves...It's about to get a little rocky in the upcoming chapters. I have the beginning of the chapter started, and I should have it finished by friday, I'm hoping, but we'll see.



Anyhow, if anyone has any questions, feel free to ask and I will answer them. This includes, but is not limited too, questions about stories, whether it be something you don't understand, something you can't pronounce, or even something you are wonder or hoping about.



Thank you all for your time and for reading this much overdue update!

P.S. For anyone that is interested, I'm looking for a BETA for 'The Tracker', so if you are interested, leave me a message in the comment box at the end of this entry. I could really use the input. Also, if anyone has any ideas or wants, post them there as well and I'll see what I can do to possibly fit them into the story.
