How to (almost) cure a brain tumor

No, not really.  Really I am so *glad* to have this editing job, even though my client keeps rewriting everything after I’ve already checked it.

I told her I’m neither dull nor disciplined enough to be a mere COPY editor, and apparently she believed me.  So really I’m helping someone else write a book, instead of writing my own book. 

Next time I need to charge more though, I think.

Whine, whine, whine. 

Did I also mention I’d pulled a muscle in my back, which makes it really hard to sit down and edit in the first place? 

I’m too young to have a pulled muscle in my back.

Plus also I’m totally going blind and can’t read with one eye when I have my contacts in, and so I might even have a deadly brain tumor.

Because I’m far too young to need reading glasses.

And besides who ever heard of needing reading glasses just for one eye? 

A brain tumor, for sure.

And why am I rewriting this whole book for someone else when I have a pulled back muscle and a brain tumor, you ask?  Why am I not in the hospital instead?

Because getting a pedicure and going out to lunch is a lot more fun.  Cheers!
