*gets ice water, comes back*
So... If you've ever talked with me about the future you know I've been terrible at planning things in the past. My track record quite actually bites the big one so to speak.
So I have good news.
I'm going to be moving. With Catfish. I'm excited and terrified. Excited because we're moving in together. Terrified because (fun fact time) I've never moved. Ever. Not even moved my room in the house from one room to another.
So planning to move is hard. Especially because we don't have a particular date set yet. I'm not moving super far away, just... Away from where I've grown up. I've already promised my mom that I'm going to be calling her like every day so she knows I'm alive. So it's probably going to be that on my drive to work I'll be on the phone with her. And I'll see her because I might still be getting mail at the house for a while. Odd circumstance involved with this. Not going into details.
I'm wondering what effect the move will have on my writing. It could be I've got a change in my writing schedule or something. I've still got two novels planned for this year. And all the other work I'm doing on other projects. Now add moving to that list. We're planning on doing this in process.
First things first, I need a car! For those of you who don't know I do NOT have a car of my own. Catfish and I are going in together on paying for a used car. We're going to be looking at physical things this weekend with any luck. I'm terrified because this is another first for me. Lots of things happening. It's... Panic inducing. Maybe I need to read some horror stories... I've been meaning to dig into the books that have been sitting on my desk for like two or three months. Really need to read them. Really want to read something again. It feels like it's been a while since I've read anything. I still need to finish reading a book by someone I admire. And then depending on when another person I admire finishes her book and puts it out on market I need to reread her first book to read her sequel. Things to look forward to during all the moving stuff. Like June bringing out the next Anita Blake Vampire Hunter novel! I'm overly excited about it. And in October there's a new novel by Rainbow Rowell! Branches off from another story of hers. And September should bring about the next book by Caroline Kepnes that comes after "You" which was fantastic and I'm so looking forward to it!
I seriously don't think Catfish knew what he was getting into with my movie collection. >.> Books I think he knew more about what he was getting involved with. But not the movies.
Worst part about moving? I'm going to have to disconnect my desktop computer and I'm also going to have to CLEAN under my desk and actually keep it clean. XD That's NEVER happened.
Did I mention I've stopped chewing my nails again so far? They're getting long enough that they scrape the keyboard if I'm not careful and it happens a lot more than I'd like to admit to... I hate that feeling.
Another piece of good news? This month (May) should be the FINAL payment I have to the college I went to. Mind you I'm still paying on my student loans, but this should be the final payment to the college directly. And that means that once everything gets settled again I'll be able to try and enroll back in classes after I get my transcript and it's great news because it's something that I can do for work. And if I can I'm hoping to get some writing classes in there too. But I'm not sure how everything is going to work at the moment. That's something that I'm getting paid off soon, but it's going to take some time to get everything else planned out. I am so nervous about this it's unreal. I already know I'm going to have to cut some hours out somewhere and I'm trying to figure out where and what and it's driving me a little crazy, but I'm kind of looking forward to it at the same time.
Part I'm looking forward to most about moving? Living with him means we won't have to say good-bye for a week or more at a time. It'll change to 'see you tonight' or 'see you later'. I'm always more relaxed around him. I'm just slightly worried as to how that will affect my writing habits and things.
I've told everyone how weird Catfish and I am, yes? And everyone knows how I'm only slightly obsessed with werewolves and wolves and such, yes? Catfish and I have been together for 3 years. I got him a battery operated bonsai tree and he ordered me something. Because he was afraid that what he ordered wouldn't get to him in time to give to me he got something extra. A bobble head POP figure of Thor that I'd been debating getting. So he's sitting on my desk bobbling away and I love it. *giggles while bobbling the head* The other thing he got me was a silver bullet necklace. He had shown it to me and I fell in love with it. It's supposed to have the Latin translation for werewolf on it. I just think it looks awesome and it's a silver bullet! (very little silver, but the coloring makes it look like it and I'm just all sorts of fanning over it.) His mom handed him the package on Sunday while I was there. I'd had him on Saturday night and it was awesome. He was happy it got to me and I've worn it daily along with two other necklaces. I've been wearing the bullet under my shirts at work. I just feel good having it on.
There are some things I'm worried about, but I'm trying to focus on the positive things happening. Wish me luck. I might need it. Any tips for moving?

Holy Hot D*mn...
It feels SO incredibly weird to be here right now. 2020 was a messed up year, and 2021 is looking to be f*cked up too. So I'll tell you some GOOD things that have happened in the last few years (along with some not so good things). A recap I guess? 2017 - Got married. 2018 - Separated 2019 - Started seeing someone amazing after having done a LOT of searching of sorts and getting to know who I am as a person and spending a lot of time with myself. Divorce was official. Work was insanity, lots of people left. Published not 1, but 2 books. 2020 - Spent 1 year with partner. Got new job. Messed up my back and had nearly 2 weeks off work after having been there a MONTH. Thankful I still have job, feeling valued because my supervisor would ask how I was when I called to ask about work and when he saw me physically back in the building. Higher ups who I haven't spent time with know my name. I feel this is very weird. Made new friends, kept in touch with some old ones, reconnected with some
Things Changed!
Wow this place looks different since the last time I logged on... Basically things have changed in my life. I can't remember what all I've said before, but the highlights from the year currently... - started seeing an amazing guy - my first book will be released on October 23rd, 2019 - my second book will release on December 23rd, 2019 - I'm in a good place right now My shortest update ever. x.x Peace all. ~Heather/Razor/Shavor
Feeling Ancient
This is just a quick little update. I'm stressing about a small handful of things, most of them writing related. Nothing to worry about though.
I'm feeling ancient. My 10 year high school reunion happens this year. TEN YEARS YOU GUYS!!! I graduated HIGH SCHOOL TEN YEARS AGO!!! *faints* F*ck!
We still don't know exactly what we're doing, but it's going to happen in a handful of months. I'm looking forward to some of the people I KNOW are going to be going. We'll see if they show though. It'll be nice to spend some time catching up with some of the folks I went to school with, but others... I'm not looking forward to seeing some of the other
Still Here, Still Standing
There was... a lot that happened in 2018. Some good, a lot of bad. I'm trying to stay hopeful and positive in 2019 and so far it's been... Good, but not easy. Just wanted to let you all know I'm still around, and still standing. I thought this song was good. I enjoy the song in general, but it seems fitting for today in particular.
If you want to keep up with me feel free to follow my blog over at http://hrshavor.wordpress.com
I've always had a lot on my mind, but at the moment I'm stuck in the mode of wondering about a certain topic. Namely, relationships and desires. I have a LOT of thoughts on these topics as of late and it... Kind of dr

Ahh good luck with moving! I remember when I was moving for the first time for college packing everything was probably one of the most stressful things, but I think it's also a nice chance to start a new and do things like decorate your place your own way, maybe even have a little corner devoted to just books and relaxing and all if you didn't already
