Altered Ego
This is a story I wrote a long time ago. I actually put it up on Amazon but it never did sell. I'm considering taking it down so I can edit it. I'm currently writing the next book in what I hope will be a series but it's kind of on hold right now because I really need to figure out what I need to do to get this to become something that people will want to read. Can you help me out?

Piece of Mind
This quarantine is ridiculous. Absolutely necessary but I've had enough. Yes, I totally understand how this virus is potentially dangerous, is in fact but I'm so done with attempting to be an adult with how not very well at all my family and I are dealing with each other. My thirteen year old autistic daughter is handling this whole thing better than the four grown ups that live her. It probably helps that she's been begging me to home school since she learned how to speak so this whole thing is, like, the best thing ever to happen in her whole entire universe and she's praying hard everyday that it doesn't change.

Me and this lockdown...
I'm annoying to myself on a good day. On a bad day, I'm downright unbearable. I've been having a lot of bad days as of late. I'm sure I'm not the only but, as you probably guessed by now, I like talking about myself a lot. I'd like to keep that in mind as I continue on telling you all the issues I have going on with me right now. Here we go...

Jax In A Box
So, I run a shop on Facebook that is basically a dud. I'm trying my best. I've only sold one thing. It was a knit hat and I sold it to my uncle. I'm pretty sure he only bought it because he loves me. It was the best $10 I ever put towards a pack of cigarettes that I ever made and spent. I hope I can do it again. Seriously now, though... Let's talk about this for a minute.

I'm just trying to figure things out as I go along...
I'm not sure about you but I don't honestly feel like I'm the same person twice. I rarely feel like I'm ever staying still, I'm always changing, always learning things, forming new opinions. Many of them have even surprised me, where I'm pretty opened minded I also feel like I'm a bit stuck in my ways. I like a routine. I like knowing what's happening, what things are and what they're meant to do, who people are and what their relation to me is supposed to be. I can't just know you because I know you, you have to serve some sort of purpose; if I met you in the grocery store while picking out which bananas were the yellowy, that's what you're going to be for me - the banana picker outer. I don't know why. That's just the way my brain works. I can't fix it. Lately, I've been thinking a lot about myself. I mean, between not being able to physically go to work, homeschooling my special needs teenage daughter and having to sit three and a half hours through dialysis three days a week, what else am I suppose to do except write about it here for you to read?! OMG, this is probably not going to be as amazing as I really want it to be but I'll try my best. I hope you like it...
