Got out to WalMart tonight and bought myself some more Russell Stover’s sugar-free chocolate. They still didn’t have the caramel drops I love so dearly, but the coconut ones were back, hurray! Grapes were on sale, but I really shouldn’t have bought them; we have so many of the little plums that KF sent along. I had one today finally. They aren’t much bigger than cherries, but sooooo sweet! Makes me wonder if the one little plum I had was…
My vascular surgeon’s nurse took all day yesterday to get back to me. Seems my doctor is out of town until the 19th. She said she’d see if she could get me in with one of the other doctors, but didn’t call back. So I called back this morning. I’m to see one of the other partners on Friday at 1. She suggested today at 2 since I seemed to be a tad frantic about it, but that might conflict with…
The callous on my right foot, the one that has been forming since that blood blister back in March, the one that the vascular surgeon has been debriding in hopes of getting it to heal, now has blood behind it again. I noticed a change in color as early as last Friday, but today I noticed that it was beginning to bulge, forming another stinking blood blister. I’m keeping my foot elevated as much as I can and I’ll call…
and I wish it would get here and go! I actually made it to church this morning, mostly because the service was later and we were having dinner on the grounds afterwards. But I think I buddy taped my toe a little too tight and between that and the neuropathy flaring up because of the weather, I was pretty miserable by the time the meal was over. So Hubby took me home and went back to see the special play…
The boys are gone to Bible club and the girl and I are just sitting around. She’s reading and I’m writing. The White Winds chapter 5 is coming along nicely; I’m probably 2/3 done with it. I’m beginning to get ideas for a sequel to Turnabout, which I’m sure C will love. A scene comes to mind where Christa is about to give birth and they’re trying to think of names for the baby. It will be a hoot, no matter what…
Chapter 19 of Masquerade is now up! And I got a good night’s sleep without any hassle from my muse. I’ve started chapter 20, but I really need to go back and work on The White Winds, too. Tika’s a bit skittish right now. There are bottle rockets going off down the street and those are upsetting, to say the least. I’m sure the other cats will be antsy for the next few days, too. The Hubby has taken the kids to…
All except for the edit, which will probably happen tomorrow. While I’m waiting for Hobbeth to come online, I’ll work on The White Winds. Maybe even get a start on Masquerade ch. 20, who knows? C sent me two cool pictures, including one of Jeff. And she’s going to do some more Masquerade scenes! Life is good! Back later, hopefully after I get some decent sleep!
and a break from writing fiction. Masquerade 19 is coming along nicely. What I should do is write up some of the scenes I got in my head last night, the ones that kept me awake until five (this despite my antidepressant and Lortabs). I am very much afraid that this particular story is going to go longer than my usual 23 chapters. Much longer. The toe isn’t giving me the jips right now, for which I’m grateful. The…
My toe is broken. The doctor didn’t even bother to x-ray it; he said he could feel the “dimple” in the bone where the break was! Ewww! I’ve got a scrip for pain meds and I’ll go back in two weeks for an x-ray to be sure it’s healing. Good news from the visit though; according to their scales, I’ve lost twelve pounds! My goal is 15 before I see the diabetes management team in July, so I’m well on the…
I have had a deuce of a time starting Masquerade chapter 19. I started with one bit, then another, but finally changed the setting of the second bit, and that made all the difference. Now things are moving. I hope I can keep up the momentum. The White Winds chapter 5 has had a good start, and I’ve got a nice twist planned. I’ve also done several posts for the new Yahoo incarnation of the Thunderbar, and for IR:TNP. I’ve…
