i want to live in an independent single dwelling home

i have never been more miserable in my life

the jittery spells

i spent most of today jittery.
for you that don't know, that is extreme nervousness.
but now i can relax.
until the next jittery spell comes.
it is rough.

the bad and the good

the bad was the tire going flat one day.
the good was a tire place having them in stock that very same day.
there was another thing but i forget what it is.

the Bible study group was much fun.

the extra jitters lasted as long as the appt. did.
then they gradually went away, i am hoping for good.

update

in case you didn't know, i have had a stroke several months ago.
and i have been going through the process.

right now, i am going through the jitters.
and other stuff.

i think that i am going to be writing about that here.
bye.
here's where.

No longer doing review requests

I'm no longer doing review requests.
Yep, that's right. No longer accepting review requests.
I've decided that keeping up with the review requests, responding to them, etc., was sucking the fun out of my book reviewing; which I was enjoying again. So I'm dumping review requests. Instead, I'm going for review invitations. What that means is if I run across a book I'd like to review, I'll contact the author about a review. But that's probably going to rarely happen, cause I was really enjoying reading the free books I pick up. Plus, there's always NetGalley, which has tons of free books I can pick up to review. And there's other sources of free books. But just keeping up with the review requests just wasn't any fun. So that's that. Take care, Jackie.
P.S.
If you run across a free book or upcoming free book that you think I might be interested in, there's a form where you can submit that. You'll find the info here:

Snippet:

Confused for a moment about where she was, it slowly started coming back to her. Good god, she had fainted. She’d never fainted before in her life. 

Today was her brother Clay, and new sister-in-law, Sandy’s wedding and it was being held in the backyard of the main homestead on the family ranch. Frowning, she tried to remember more.  She remembered helping Sandy get ready along with her sister Sarah and Sandy’s sister, RJ. They’d joked about RJ and Hannah’s other brother, Logan, having gotten engaged the night before.

Then it came to her. Ash. He was here. At the wedding. She remembered the feeling of being watched as she stood up front during the ceremony and scanned the crowd. When her eyes found his she’d panicked. Which is why she had escaped to this private area after the ceremony had ended. How had he found her? Oh, my god! He couldn’t know of the baby. The one they created on their single night together. The one she hadn’t even told her family about. Oh, god, please make him go away, she pleaded.
