Good morning. After a long, LONG day yesterday, my wife made me go to bed early (10 PM vs my normal 1 AM) and I feel better today. We worked outside until well after dark and got about a third of the front of the house hand painted. The color is a darker, brighter blue than I had been told it was,... Sign in to see full entry.

We started painting the house yesterday. It's a bit darker blue than I thought it might be, but it will still look good. The front of the place needs to be hand-painted, which is being a royal hemorrhoid due to having to do it on a fourteen-foot ladder, but like everything else here, it is slowly...

Good afternoon. The day is off to an interesting start. Several completely announced visitors who I distinctly told not to "just stop by." If you're going to travel 1500, you have plenty of time to warn me you are coming. The rest of this is a completely useless post so I can remind myself of... Sign in to see full entry.

We've got another beautiful day coming up with lots to do on the agenda. It seems the more things take shape, the more we want to get done. Yesterday was busy, and I suspect today will be the same. I've revived a Vella project I had put on hold a few months back to spend more time working on "In The... Sign in to see full entry.

It seems that some days, we work all day and it seems we have accomplished nothing and then there are days like today. After several days of scrubbing the exterior of the woodwork in preparation to paint the place, today we slapped on the first of the paint on the trim. It wasn't a lot of paint nor...

I was about to make my morning post here when one of the guys we've hired to do some work for us showed up. I didn't have to help him as much as explain what we were doing and how it needed to be done. He's finally done, paid, and gone. It's becoming a beautiful day after a frigid night. The next...

It's a tad chilly here (42) and it won't be warming up much, but it's a far cry from the monster snowstorm going on in Newberry. While I don't like the cold anymore (I'm taking blood thinners), I have never been a fan of snow armpit deep either. I've got about 25,000 words into my Vella project... Sign in to see full entry.

I finally got my website "semi-fixed." It's still got a few quirks, but I think I just figured out what I did to fix it yesterday. Now I realize this is all Greek to most of you, but I think Lee (my longtime partner in my website hosting and live video streaming business) was in the process of... Sign in to see full entry.

Website Issues Plague the Day!
LOL... I ALMOST got my postings here done today before the phone calls started. I had to take yesterday off from writing my "Hate" story to give my brain a rest, so I worked on reviving my " Big V Publishing " website. A year ago in late September, my partner was working on the site to change a few... Sign in to see full entry.

Last night was a decidedly cooler (also see COLDER) night, but we slept well. We had a good weekend, but I spent far too much time on the phone. I have two good friends having family issues, not of their doing. I also have a really good friend who is struggling to maintain herself emotionally over a... Sign in to see full entry.
