A quiet day at home taking care of my baby-

-
My sweet hubby isn't feeling well.  It seems everyone at his place of business is sick and, try as he could to avoid it, he got whatever they had.  Poor thing's been feeling bad for the past two day and still had to work.  But today he's off, and I don't want him to do anything but rest.

It'll be chicken soup for lunch, thank you.

Other than that, not much else is going on.  My friend, Anjie, the one who did the cover for Luthor and the all trailers, is in New Orleans this weekend for the jazz festival.  She was all a flutter over seeing Tom Petty and Dave Matthews. 

It brings back a bunch of memories for me.  Steve and I have been to New Orleans twice.  It was so great.  Actually, a little sad fact, the first time we went was when Princess Diana was killed.  I remember Steve and I were walking back to our room (I think it was around 2 a.m. or so) and someone walked passed us and said that the queen had been killed in a car accident.  We later discovered the correct information, horrible as it was.
I have a picture we took with a shirtless, very well-muscled, guy holding a picture of Princess Diana.

But other than the sad turn of events, the trip was fun.  And the second one was even better. 

And that's all you're getting.  I plead the "Vegas": What happens in New Orleans, stays in New Orleans. I won't even explain why we were in a picture with a shirtless well-muscled, guy.

I gotta go check my on my baby.

Later-

Just a quick hello-

-
As I sit here waiting to begin my work day, I wanted to just say a quick hello. As you can tell by the lack of a picture, I'm on my iPad, my new best friend. I never thought I would love the iPad as much as I do, but I do. I'm sill learning all the ins and outs, but I'm getting there. Things have been pretty much going in a steady forward motion for me. Steve is finally felling better, which always eases my mind tremendously. Book sales have been great. Work has been not as horrible as it usually is, so that's a nice change. And Buster, well, he's still his cute adorable self. The weather here in Austin has begun to slowly feel more like Texas weather; that is to say, it's getting hot as shit. I told myself, this year I would try and not get as stressed about the weather as I did last summer. I just have to keep it in my head that there is nothing I can do about it, and my time here gets shorter and shorter with each day that passes. Oh how I can't w...

Just full of giddiness!

Not sure if it's really all that manly to be full of giddiness, but I don't know of any other way to describe it.  One of the rules of blogging, especially for a writer, is not to bore your readers with the same old subject over and over.  But Luthor is a major part of my life right now, and things are beginning to change because of it. And the title of this blog is the daily ups and downs of  an up and coming writer, and over the past few years there have too many downs.  I am on the way up, and I'm gonna shout it from the top of a mountain (from the top of Pike's Peak, eventually). I just got done preparing a couple of packages for some people who have purchased signed copies of Luthor .  And as I was doing it, I was so happy. Actually over the past few weeks I have been so happy.  Sales have been great.  People have been talking to me about the book and telling me about the emotions it took them through and how if effected them.  Ea...

The light at the end of the tunnel-

-
(I'm doing this entry on my iPad, so I'm not able to add a picture.  Just imagine a cool shot of Colorado, please. ) As most of you know, our big goal is to get the hell out of Austin and up to the mountains of Colorado. Obviously we have to wait a couple of years until I retire with the City of Austin, The other day I got some good news: That goal got 6/7 months closer. I will be able to buy my sick time and move my date up! Nice! So by roughly September of 2014 I will be retiring! It seems weird to say those words. People tell me, "You can't retire, you're too young." The hell, I can't! You're never too young to retire, if you're able.  It's my reward for sticking with a job I didn't like most of the time for 23 years! Some also ask, "What are you going to do? You'll get bored." The hell I will! They forget: I'm a writer. I actually never thought I would retire with the City, because I always thought my caree...
