Yeah, you read that title correctly. I was making pizza in the toaster oven, and after I took it out, I went to close the oven door. Welp, I missed the handle and grabbed the oven, and I burnt two of my fingers. :( They still hurt, but the pain went down a little. Typing has been an adventure, but I have no choice because I have work that cannot be postponed. I overslept and got a late start on things, but I bathed all three dogs back to back, and I have their stuff in the laundry now (two loads, because one was a dog bed). They needed baths though, so I had plans all week to do it today since it'd be nicer and they could go outside for longer than usual afterward (I don't let them stay outside as long in the freezing cold or blistering heat). One of our dogs, Bella, likes to sunbathe lol. So, now I'm watching/listening to NKOTB's Merriweather concert from last year. It's one of the happier memories of 2021, so I like to re-live it often. I think I have a backup ride to see them this summer, but it's the last show of the tour, so I'll be waiting a bit lol. Anywho, I was gonna watch "A Haunting", but that turned out to be a distraction yesterday, so I'll skip it today. Otherwise, I have the Celebrity Big Brother finale tonight. I have a feeling of who the winner is going to be, so we'll see if I'm right or not. I don't wanna spoil the top 3, and the most-likely top 2, for those who have yet to catch up. I'm about to start on a 2300-2800-word order for a client, and then I have a 1,900-2,400-word order for the same client. I told them they could send me the other three they need done for this month, so that's why I cannot postpone today's work. Once I'm finished with those, I may work on a 250-word order from one of my writing teams, and then I'm calling it a night. Oh, and I did ask to run to Five Below for a few things, but I'm not sure if we're going to be able to tonight, so we'll see. If not tonight, then maybe tomorrow. I don't have any shows or anything tomorrow, just writing and therapy. It's nice out today. Like, almost in the 70s. I'm sitting here in capris. The temperature is going to drop tomorrow, so I'll most likely be in sweatpants or leggings. But I'm enjoying it today. Alrighty, it's time to stop rambling and get to work. I just finished setting the order up, and now I need to put everything into words. You all take care and I'll try to be back later. Photo Credit: Pixabay.

I am sorry about your fingers. I have been trying to keep an aloe plant from dying on me, because I find it is the best for burns, it removes the pain right away. So, what kind of dogs do you have? If they are over 40 pounds, I am impressed. I have 2 beagle/border collie sisters (my profile picture) who are close to 50 pounds and I despise giving them a bath, it is a real nightmare. What kind of work do you do? Editing?

I'm sorry for the late response, but to answer your question - freelance writing. I did add proofreading/editing to the mix, but I haven't gotten any clients for that one yet.

@tammys85 I am not worried about late replies. I used to be here daily for hours, but now life is a busy and crazy, I rarely have time anymore. I have written a couple novels, and short stories, but can't afford an editor. I was recently hired for a better job in the school, so I am hoping to save up enough for an editor, since it is very difficult to acquire an agent. When I am ready, I will contact you to see if you would like to edit my novels.
