I'm in Tampa. I've got a lot of tests done with more to do yet tonight. I want to sleep, but I don't know when I'll be allowed to do so. Four IV's running. More when I can Sign in to see full entry.

I'm Leaving
In about twenty minutes, I'm out the door for Tampa. I wasn't given much advanced notice, it was either 'come down here or we cut off the supply of (free) chemo.' So I'm going. I should be there by 3 PM and will be picked up by taxi and taken to the hospital. They are paying for everything. A friend... Sign in to see full entry.

Just As An FYI
I hit 50,000 words in my story last night. I am slowly working to an anti-crescendo and the story will be written in stone. While those who regularly read my stories, the next four posts or so describe things that happened during our fifteen day honeymoon, including brief carefully worded events of...

The Story Behind The Story
I was up until 3:30 in the morning writing in my book. I think yesterday saw me add (after editing) just shy of 10,000 words. I'm not crazy, just trying to get this story done before I have to head to Tampa. I just posted a 2,000 word chapter over in my story blog. The next couple of days, should I...

As one of my favorite songs says, "Please Forgive Me." I'm facing a turning point that I would just as soon miss, but I can't allow my fear... that's not the right word, as I no longer fear anything... I can't allow my inner dread to keep me from doing that which needs to be done. Based on how I... Sign in to see full entry.

I always dread doing things that take me away from home now. I've come to the conclusion that I must go to Tampa, I just don't want to go. Because of my involvement as a test subject back in 2013, they are offering me a free flight and they will put me up at no charge to me. I can't really argue,... Sign in to see full entry.
If I am to believe what I was told yesterday, I will be gone several days next week. I am supposed to fly down to Tampa to be seen there in the specialty clinic for more specific blood work and chemo. I am not looking forward to this. I have until Monday morning to decide. Happy weekend to me. V Sign in to see full entry.

The Dress
The chapter I posted this morning about our pre-wedding diaster spoke about 'the dress.' You can read about that in Part 21, but this is the 'replacement dress' that was given to her a mere three days before our wedding. This is a picture of a picture of the original picture because our real wedding... Sign in to see full entry.
I worked long into the night on my current story line and still woke up about my normal time. Besides the personal sense of urgency, I want to enter this story in a contest that has multiple cash prizes that closes entries on March 17th, one week away. The story line has begun its downhill slide and... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm closing down for the night, but I've hit 40,000 words in my story. It's a syrupy love story, but it was how it was, or I guess how I saw it and remember it. All I know is that this courtship turned into a marriage that stood for a month shy of 44 years. We were absolutely smitten with each other... Sign in to see full entry.
