Brooke Writes Books... and Other Musings...

A few months away… and wow, do things change!

First, I finally sold the ol’ homestead… woo hoo. But then it became mad-dash, break-neck packing (thank goodness for Tammy, without whose help packing up the kitchen and garage, I’d probably still be at it!).

Then I managed to get the sickest I’ve been in probably 10 years. I actually had to spend two days in bed. That woulda been sort of a luxury… except that I had to, needed to be packing…

And of course, I had to find a new place to hang my hat on a temporary basis. Which I did about six days before I was to become homeless. It’s a wonderful guest house on a 2.5 acre guava grove. One bedroom, one bath… quite luxurious. And talk about a dream to clean!

Then… I spoiled myself and got a new flat-screen TV, with a satellite dish. Wow… there are like a bazillion channels to look at… and yet I have only about four that I really watch! But the biggest change is that I had it set up in the living room… not the bedroom… which means I can sleep without TV…

Of course the spoiling of Brooke continued with the purchase of a Bose Wave System for the bedroom. Hey! A girl cannot live in total silence… and with that radio system… there’s like a whole symphony playing just for little ol’ me.

And yeah… I actually have more time now. Not a lot… but I am getting squared away and developing a new routine. And I think I’ve seen Ms. Muse lurking around… here and there… in various corners when she thinks I’m not looking. Shhh! Don’t scare her away!

So, you thought the only change was the appearance of the blog site… Ha! Fooled you. And who knows… I might even fool you more by posting more frequently.
