Conversations With A Space Alien? What? Has That Boy Wigged Out? Yep.

I come here late in the evening to use a blank page to do my editing. Here are the opening chapters to a sci-fi novel I'm working on titled "Conversations With A Space Alien." It looks like a tangled mess, but once I begin to weave everything together, it will read exactly as I want it to. V Project... Sign in to see full entry.

As happens at least four or five times a day, I was working on filling in my various postings here when Lisa grabbed me and hauled me outside, where we had been for at least 90 minutes now. It's just a nice place to be. The trees give us shade from what will be another 93-95 degree day. Being this... Sign in to see full entry.

Ya Caught Me Singing Silly Songs

Have ya ever had a day where everything you touched turned to dust? That's the kind of day I'm having. Nothing serious, just constant. Sometimes you can ignore such things, but today ain't one of those days. When I was much younger, I had a saying that still fits: When uncertain or in doubt, run in... Sign in to see full entry.

This always happens. I get up a bit early and begin making my posts. Just as I reach this section, I receive either a call or three. Happens nearly every day, which means I've become too predictable. One day, I'm going to see if the OFF button on my cell works. I spent a good 45 minutes outside with... Sign in to see full entry.

"A" or "B?"

While I don't feel 'bad,' I'm a long way from feeling good. I've already decided to forgo breakfast, settling for a glass of orange juice and some coffee. My Parkinson's is taking a bit too long to give way to the medication I take to subdue it, but this, too, shall pass. My left hand is misbehaving... Sign in to see full entry.

Something my father used to say when I was a kid comes to mind. "Another day, another thirteen cents." Lisa's burns are slowly healing, and she's in nowhere near as much pain as she was a few weeks ago when this first happened. I suspect it will be tender for a few months yet. We had given thought...

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.
