I've been very lazy or else just stubborn. It's as if I can't even tell my own self what to do. I am, apparently, not the boss of me. A few minor health things leading to a Visit To A Specialist who asked if I was taking a certain med. I have been and it's in my list, which he had, apparently, not bothered to read. When I said I was, he said, how ( Read more... )

No, no letter yet, but our mail can be extremely slow ( Read more... )

Once again I am passing up an opportunity to TRAVEL! Because. Because; flying; smokers; food allergies; body issues. I'm aware that it's life-affirming and you can always make the best of things and all the rest but; (see above). It's a drag for others as well. Yes I'd enjoy snorkelling in Pristine Clear Waters (off Honduras?). So not worth the ( Read more... )

Sent. The synopsis is not anywhere close to what I have read on how to do it, but you can only jerk things around so long. If it comes back a no (again), we'll try something else. The first time I had to write a short story in school, and by then I'd been writing for five years with no input except for my mom, when I let her read anything.... I was ( Read more... )

THat's what the half of me who is gloomy and depressive has to say. The other half is all springy and sproingy but when it comes to actually *doing* anything, like leaving the house... some times it just ain't gonna happen without a fight. Okay how about one step at a time, that's a good philosophy; I'll open the windows and drapes! I'm having fun ( Read more... )

So last night was our usual holiday party and our friend Flo's condo. There are usual about 30 people there and we have a potluck and gift exchange, the kind where you go by numbers and you can pick a gift or take one from somebody who already has one, if you like theirs. So there can be semi-polite warfare, especially when there's one gift like a ( Read more... )

I have four sets of friends; real life, Facebook, snail mail, and here. And I can't even keep up with the real life ones! Oh make that five, my imaginary friends, ie, characters in my stories. I have twelve ebooks with JMS publishing and a few others here and there, but uh... six novels, two books of short stories and some other things, none of ( Read more... )

Still here!

And the other daughter is having surgery to fuse two vertebra on Jan 7th. Six weeks recovery. This one hit me right in the chest like a baseball bat. Boy you'd think switching to testosterone would make that area stronger, but nope, still a mommy in there.  D 1 is recuperating slowly. We'll see how this one goes. The 'good' thing is we all three of ( Read more... )

Last night we went to a couple's house for 'dessert'. Can't stand the woman, but herhusband is neat. B, husband, has cancer and it's surprising he's still here, actually. It was his birthday. He's a retired iron worker. Robyn said she expected he'd be around for many more birthdays... he replied, you have to face reality. L, the wife, is usually ( Read more... )
