Quarantine day 18

-

It's 5:12 in the evening, and I almost forgot to do my blog! Everything seems to be running together, I can't remember what I did one day from the next.
What did I do today? I worked out, I play Odyssey, I walked Finn, cleaned the bathrooms, and watched a few episodes of West Wing with Steve and we just watched an episode of Game of Thrones.
I have to say, I think I have the best quarantine partner around. I'm reminded again and again how lucky I am.

On the positive side of quarantining, it seems to be working.

But again, people need to not get complacent and loosen up. And people need to wear masks when they're asked to! Enough of this, "Well, I don't feel sick, so I don't need a mask." People can carry it and not show symptoms and still pass it on. We have to stop this now so it doesn't just linger for months and months. That will be really scary when the economy begins to crumble.

STAY INSIDE. WEAR YOUR MASKS IF YOU HAVE TO GO OUT.

This is a team effort. Stay safe. 💓

    I look at your baby's face and feel everything is going to be okay. I am glad to know you did a lot of things and had a good day with Steve and the boys. It's 3 am here. I couldn't sleep and decided to look for your blog. I got online earlier and didn't find it. Thank you for being here. You are loved, my dear friend.

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...
