With Episode #45 now live, I just changed the status of my #Vella project, "I Hate My Mother" to "Completed." I've written some difficult stories before, but this one... this one was different. The title of the last chapter was "And What Did I Learn?" I had decided to end the story with that topic...

Good grief, I am whipped! We accomplished a ton of stuff today. If we have another nice day with no rain as we are supposed to do tomorrow, the former owner of this place will never recognize the lot. Once we get the area raked and straightened out, we are going to play "Johnny Appleseed" with some...

I got my finger wedged in by a tree I was cutting two days ago. Now the nail has developed paronychia, or an inflammation of the skin around the nail after an injury or bump in the wrong spot. Writing last night was a problem and this morning, my finger is swollen and obviously infected. Typing is a...

I posted two Vella episodes totaling 2900 words yesterday on top of everything else. It is already warmer at 9:30 than it was all day yesterday, so we are back in the yard, raking, cleaning, and burning. My background in biology and which included a lot (too much!) about plants tells me that if we...

I just got a call on my blood work and everything continues to look good. I didn't think I was having any issues, but it is better to take the tests and know for sure. Lisa and I worked all day in the backyard, and if we have more decent weather tomorrow, I think we will be able to remove the last...

Another cold night, but today is supposed to get close to 60 and maybe 70 tomorrow. We can handle that. I've got to go to Tallahassee for some testing as a follow-up to my earlier problem of a "bleed" in my stomach lining. I think it is good to go, but they want to be sure. We will be gone most of...

I forgot to turn the heat back up in the living room last night, so when we walked out of the bedroom, it was about 48 degrees out there. Brrrrrrrr.... so we stayed in the bedroom while the place warmed up. We are predicted to have one, maybe two more chilly nights before we get back to our norms....

Good Christmas morning. I hope you are well and with your loved ones. We are warm, despite the nasty cold with another night with a low of 18. I'll leave you with this. Respectfully, V&L And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Cæsar Augustus, that all the world should be...

O, Holy Night!
One of my favorite Christmas hymns. Something to remember. “Years from now, it is unlikely anyone will remember that thing they unwrapped. What they will remember, what will have much greater impact, is a message from YOU to THEM that they will remember, reminding them that they are loved.”...

About Rudolph
We went out for a late breakfast/early lunch. I had steak and fries with gravy and she had fried fish and mashed potatoes. Mmmmm! We had thought about going north for Christmas, but for obvious reasons, we can't and didn't. To make up for it, she is in the bedroom, video-chatting with them now....
