Good morning! I don't think I have slept as long and as hard as I did last night... wow! I went to bed at about 11... quite early for me, and didn't wake up until 10:15 this morning. We got another call from the doctor 'after hours,' telling us that, for all intents and purposes, Lisa's tumor has... Sign in to see full entry.

Good morning. I just posted a new Vella project that is still in review, but I hope it will be available for reading on Amazon tonight. I opened it with five episodes, with the intent to add to it three to four times a week. I have an active following on Vella, so here's hoping it takes off. For... Sign in to see full entry.

My Personal Experience With Grief
This is from my ~24,000-word story on grief, titled: "Who Cares For The Caregiver When The Caregiver Hits Rock Bottom?" Alone The best thing I had done was to make all of Judy's funeral arrangements over a year before she passed away. I had lined up her services, the music that she loved, and a...

We had a lot of rainfall yesterday with a lot of lightning. It kept me off the computer but gave us time to talk. If I was to try to pinpoint one thing that keeps us close, it would be the amount of time we spend talking and not regular conversations but talking about things that concern us daily....

We have been getting heavy rain and lots of lightning, so I have had to shut down three times so far. Just as I returned to start this entry, another big storm rolled up. I didn't have anything planned for today, and I intended to work on my romance series... but with this weather, it might not be... Sign in to see full entry.

Good Sunday morning. We were sitting outside this morning, enjoying the new day with milk and toast, when a massive rainstorm began. We got very little warning and got very wet! It lasted less than three minutes, but I'm guessing it dropped half an inch of rain. Yesterday was a nice (and very hot)... Sign in to see full entry.

Good morning! Today is my wife's birthday, and I told her that since she is getting old and decrepit, I would take her out for lunch. When I regained consciousness, I apologized and asked her if she wanted to go out for lunch. LOL (Just kidding, of course... it's how we play 'the game.') What she... Sign in to see full entry.

We finally got a call from the doctor's office about the testing Lisa had over a week ago. It appears the laser treatments have done the job, and her tumor has shrunk considerably. Since the last treatment, she hasn't passed out or had any whiteouts. He still doesn't want her to drive for another... Sign in to see full entry.

The drive home yesterday was definitely one I won't forget for a long time. About thirty minutes into my drive back, I began to develop a brake issue. By the time I hit I-75 North, I had less than 10% of my normal braking system, and traffic was abysmally busy. I grew up on a farm and learned to... Sign in to see full entry.

It's a long story, but I ended up making an unexpected trip to Avon Park late yesterday afternoon when I couldn't raise a friend of mine in the phone. When I arrived at her home, I discovered she had fell beside her bed and was trapped there. It was 85 degrees in her house and she had been there for... Sign in to see full entry.
