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.

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.
