I think I failed to mention somewhere along the line that we need to go to Valdosta, Georgia, this morning to see a specialist. I will let you know more if anything comes of it. This isn't for me, but for my wife. She's been having abdominal pain for several months that requires a special test that... Sign in to see full entry.

Sorry to be so late with everything. It's Valentine's Day, and I took Lisa out of a late breakfast/early lunch date, and then we drove around, looking at the lakes in the area. The girl gets sweeter by the day. It's finally warming up AGAIN. This business of nice weekdays and frozen weekends is... Sign in to see full entry.

A Bit of A Rant - Pay Me No Mind
We have a lot to do this week, but I'm not sure it will begin to happen today. It was a long weekend with nothing but cold rain, wind, and unannounced company. I'm not a big fan of any of those things. It would never occur to me to travel 1400 miles and then just pop in on someone, but I'm not... Sign in to see full entry.

A Free Vella Chapter
I just finished this and posted it to the Vella platform, but it will be late tonight before it is available. This is from my "How I Keep Smiling in A World That Isn't" Vella. This would normally *cost you ten credits (roughly 1.8 cents), but I wanted you to see what I am doing. If you get to the... Sign in to see full entry.
We slept in until almost 9:30 this morning. I couldn't believe it myself. Lisa wanted to go out for breakfast, so we went to a little eatery we have come to enjoy visiting named "Smackin' Lips." It's a very nice diner, and the food is excellent. I got new episodes in my dystopian Vella novel and in... Sign in to see full entry.

Free Vella Read
I managed to get a 1500-word Vella story done last night that I had been thinking about for a long time. I almost used this as a story told in the third person instead of the first person narrative in my "A Knock On The Door," and I might yet try it. I decided to use it in my "How I Keep Smiling In...

How was it Snoopy of *Peanuts* fame said it, " It was a dark and stormy night..." It started raining about 9 PM last night; other than a brief moment or two, it has been raining steadily since. We've had brief flickers of power loss but not a complete shutdown. Yet! Actually, this is a good start to... Sign in to see full entry.

I tried to make some extra money working as a waiter at a local restaurant. Things didn't go well. I had a customer ask me if he could buy a bagel with cream cheese, and I told him that we only took cash. Five minutes later, I was fired. Good night! Sign in to see full entry.
I slept for nine hours after my 728-mile-long trip yesterday in some extremely heavy traffic. I'm still kind of wiped out, but the work we have planned for today doesn't involve a lot of physical exertion. My brother and my wife did a lot of running new electrical wiring. Jerry was once a paid... Sign in to see full entry.

I made it home safely. Our anniversary is coming up soon. I have a trip planned to stay in a beautiful hotel with a in-room sauna and hot tub. The only problem is the wife wants to come along. Good night. V Sign in to see full entry.
