Good morning. Yesterday was one of those days you wish you could sleep through, but we managed to make it. I was gathering the materials I needed to make my posts here when I received a call from a woman I have known for about twenty years, and she was sobbing hysterically. I'm still not sure what...

I meant to get back here much sooner, but I made the mistake of taking a quick nap. Three hours later, here I am. The doctor says her wounds are healing much better than he could have ever hoped, so we are happy about that. We've been keeping it clean and dry, which is helping. I'm about to finish...

Back Soon
We have an early appointment to have Lisa's burns looked at again. So far, the healing process is progressing quite nicely, but as long as there is an open area not covered by skin, an infection can establish itself in under a few hours... and we don't need that. I'll report back in a few hours. If... Sign in to see full entry.

Cover For Latest Story
I finished a ~29,500-word novella today and then had a quick cover done up for me. What ya think? V Sign in to see full entry.
Good morning. After a pair of days that saw rain, rain, rain, and more rain, it may not rain again until tomorrow. How can we endure 24 hours of dry skies? /sarcasm The dogs aren't big fans of the rain, either. I've got them to run for the cover of the trees. It isn't an umbrella, but it will...

Happy Mother's Day!
It's unusually quiet here in da 'hood this morning. On a typical morning, the mix of voices, engines running, and various dogs barking is a cacophony that makes the area feel alive. This morning, the total absence of such things creates an eerie atmosphere. I think even the dogs noticed it. They... Sign in to see full entry.

Scared Pup W/ Picture!
It was a quiet night in our home last night. As I had figured, the storm that was supposed to hit us at any time yesterday completely missed us. Its tail, however, sure got us after two in the morning. One of the dogs woke me up because of the heavy thunder, and it wanted to be under the covers next... Sign in to see full entry.

If it weren't for interruptions, I'd accomplish about ten times more stuff, ya know? Once people realized that I'm up and writing around 8:30 or so every day, they would call because they "know I'm around." Between the time I posted another chapter in my latest story and now, 90 minutes had passed.... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm not feeling the best today... nothing weird... just too many interruptions throughout the night and three straight nights of insufficient sleep due to various reasons. We have been on the road so much, getting nearly daily treatments for Lisa's burn (which seems to be healing nicely) and an... Sign in to see full entry.

Back Again... Things Are Better
The lab work showed her white count was twice normal, but with a burn like this one, that is to be expected. They did two IVs again with different meds in them to help fight off the infection. We need to return tomorrow for a new blood test. Lisa says she is feeling better, so that's a start! Thank... Sign in to see full entry.
