2019 Has Had a Bumpy Start for Me

I'd expected to have a new Deputy Tempe Crabtree mystery out by now, but it hasn't happened as yet.  I feel confident that it will appear sooner or later.

Within a one week period I fell twice. Once at the post office, tripping over a 1/2 inch curb. Hurt my knee, head and hand and had a trip to the ER in an ambulance. Not big injuries but lots of bruises. The next day, hubby, daughter and I drove through a snow storm to go to a meeting in Ventura. We got there fine--I was the one that had to attend the 3 day meeting, hubby stayed with two daughters.

We came home on Monday, I did a big wash on Tuesday and caught up with a lot of chores, then of all things, on Wednesday I tripped over a rug in the house and hurt the same knee and the other one too, banged my head and hurt the same hand in a different place. Did not go to the ER this time. However, I am learning to use the walker in the house.

What I really want to do is work on my book in progress--so some good news about that. I needed to know some information about cadaver dogs and the conditions of dead bodies over a long period of time, and though a lot of people gave me some information, one of my friends in the Public Safety Writers Association put me in touch with a woman who has a cadaver dog and works with a sheriff's department. She's been giving me lots of help.

Looking forward, I know the road ahead won't be smooth all the time, but I'm looking forward to those, and I'm sure I can manage the bumpy ones.

So how has your 2019 been so far?
