Waaah!

If that’s not a clue what this post is about, nothing will be. Somehow, not only did I manage to get sick this weekend–either a spring cold or really, really hellacious seasonal allergies (though I don’t think those normally come with body aches and chills) but I also managed to take a tumble off the stairs Saturday afternoon while bringing Brianna down from her nap. We have hardwood floors, they were freshly polished and I was in stocking feet. My foot hit the floor off the last step and…well, I never stood a chance. I didn’t drop the baby and she wasn’t hurt (though she was plenty scared) but I’m a mass of pulled muscles and bruises, which are really fun in addition to the aches of being sick. So today has been a total wash for anything except lounging on the couch, doing some reading off and on (I’m so sick I don’t even feel like concentrating on a book at times) and watching bad Sunday tv. It hurts to swallow, so good thing I don’t have to talk to anyone besides my family. Although Brianna is chattering away so I have to talk to her quite a bit :) Thank God for my husband, who took pity on me and went to Cold Stone Creamery and got me some ice cream :heart:

The good news is, I don’t have to worry about blogging because I have several day’s worth of posts saved up that I typed Saturday morning. The lovely thing about WordPress!

I’m hoping I feel a lot better tomorrow because Brianna has her 18 month check-up, I have deadlines and Josh won’t be home until late tomorrow night as he has to go to Baltimore to pick up an engine for our car. So I’m on my own with a cold, bruises, deadlines and a toddler who will be getting shots. Waaaah.

    OMG, Angie!! Thank God neither of you were seriously hurt. And to be sick to boot…you poor thing. If I lived near you I’d come by and lend a hand since Josh is going to be gone most of the day. :hug:

    You poor thing. S (the dear hubby) has offered to pop on over and give you a massage, but I’m guessing Josh and I will have something to say about that. So we’re sending cyber muscle rubs, a cup of healing tea and wishing you a good night’s rest. Take care and feel better soon!

    OUCH Angie! I hope you are feeling better this morning!

    You should have called, I would have rather been over at your house helping you out, instead of taking care of sick hubby.

    Cuz lord knows he was literally dying & I wanted to :pengydie: before the weekend was over.

    Oh dear! Sure hope you’re feeling better.

About Me


Angela James

There is nothing worse than writing a bio. And writing one for your blog sidebar? Blech. Maybe you landed here via Google, followed me from Twitter (does that make you a stalker?) or maybe we met at a conference or you clicked a link from a comment I made at a blog you visited. Hopefully whatever I said didn't make you so mad you came looking for a picture to throw darts at (yep, that's me up above, in my favorite cowboy hat) but instead drove you to find out more about the amazingly witty and intelligent person behind the amazingly witty and intelligent comment.

However you found me, who you found is Angela James, executive editor of Carina Press, Harlequin's new digital-first press. I'm passionate about digital publishing, my mission is to drag people to the digital dark side, one reader (and author) at a time. I'm also Brianna's mommy. At my blog you'll get an odd mix of personal and professional posts about parenting, publishing, books, cooking, sewing and life in general. Come back often, comment frequently and go green—buy ebooks!

Please note that this is my personal blog and my opinions are neither that of Harlequin, nor representative of their opinions.

Find Me Here

First, I blog once or twice a week at theCarina Press blog, talking about the job, the authors, the books and other things Carina Press. And, of course, you can always find me on Twitter. Or Facebook, if you prefer (mostly the same content, one feeds the other). I also run the Carina Press Twitter and Facebook accounts. Social media, it's where it's at (well, it's where I'm at, anyway).
