Girlpower spam!
It was International Women's Day yesterday, so I thought we could have some girlpower spam. E.g. tell us your favourites female characters, role models, etc. And a good chance to talk about RH's women - I always thought that Marian and Djaq were great characters, for instance. And of course tell us how you are and what you're up to

As a child I loved this TV show and as an adult I am fascinated with the real life of Laura:

And some lovely images.
I grew up watching Little House on the Prairie and have read most if not all the books ( a long time ago).
Love Edith on Downton Abbey too.

I didn't read 'Little House' books until I was an adult. I bought them at a flea market once and later got most of the English versions as well. And a few years ago I bought one of the biographies of Laura and I got a whole new viewpoint to things mentioned in the books. For a long time I've had an interest in the time period in which Laura Ingalls Wilder lived.
I hope you had a nice weekend.

I loved Edith, too. Talk about characters who grown on you. I wouldn't have pegged her as a fave in Season 1.

So sorry to hear about your neck problems and *fingers crossed* that some sort of long term solution can be found.
Good luck with your writing!!

You seem very calm about the whole thing. I'm assuming that some medication is in play that's helping you sound calm. So, karate is out permanently then? Sorry to hear that. You seemed to really enjoy it.
Good luck with the novella!

I also am watching Gilmore Girls since I missed it the first go around. I adore Lorelei Gilmore. Our parenting styles seem similar (if only I had her style and fabulously rich parents to fall back on). And, I'm getting lots of tips on how to be a single mom.
Yep, that's what I've been up to for the past couple of years - trying to survive the implosion of my family. When I came back to SPAM at the anniversary, I didn't want to be a "downer" so I didn't mention it. But, it's kind of hard to tell you anything else without mentioning my impending(?) divorce (which could be years away if all goes according to my husband's "plan" *SNORT*). It's ugly. It's raw. It's life-changing. And, it's not going to stop me. I'll survive. It's just a little crazy.

He's paying for everything and I'm still in charge of the finances. If this changes, I'm happy to let the courts step in. I think he's afraid. He's the reason for the divorce and he has a lot to lose. Right now, I'm in the house. I have the kid. Future-Ex-Hubby doesn't want to be seen as the "bad guy," even though he is. So, he's playing nice.
I know that no divorce is totally one person's fault, but this one may be as close as you can get.
As far as moving on... he seems to be doing just fine. I am silently plotting and planning.... trying to decide what direction I want to go while keeping some sense of normalcy for my child (as much as is in my power).
Basically, calling on every skill I learned from Team Leather.

I'm glad your back is better and I totally empathize about the toe. I tackled a doorjamb in the middle of the night one time running to a kid who was having a nightmare and turned my pinky toe black (or a very, very dark purple). There is nothing to do for toes except to not use them and hope they heal right. I hope yours heals right and quickly. Binge watching Musketeers should help.

Your comment brought to my mind a silly joke about pains and aches: One of the surest ways to get rid of a current ache is to purposefully hit your toe (or any other part of your body) so hard that you forget the first ache. Though it seems this course of action didn't work for you this time. Yeah, kind of a bad joke, but it's not without some truth in it.
