Quarantine day 29

-

It's day 29. I won't be talking about a book today because this will be a relatively short blog again. Just want to explain yesterday.

We had a scare.

I didn't sleep well the night before, and woke feeling way off. As the morning progressed, it got worse. My throat was scratchy, and I had a headache, and of course I had a fever, which was the last thing I wanted.
Initially we just figured it was allergies. The weather here had been a rollercoaster from 70's and 60's one day to snowing the next. Yesterday we had rain all day and thunderstorms in the evening.

As the day went on, the fear grew when I my fever reached 100.1!

Thankfully, after a few naps, some Dayquil and Steve taking care of everything for the day, I was feeling better by bedtime. This morning I woke up feeling 90% better.

It was just allergies. A severe attack of them, but allergies nonetheless. And it's a good thing, too. How pissed off do you think I would have been if we just sat inside for a month, only going to the store for food runs when we had to, wore masks every time, washed our hands a million times a day, just to get the virus anyway?

Whew!

I say 90% better because, of course we're having rain today and tomorrow, and my head is a bit woozy. But I'll take it to what it was yesterday.

So, tomorrow I'll get back to the books. By the way, the picture is my girlfriend Daisy eating with a visiting squirrel. I miss her so. 😔

Stay safe. Stay inside. ❤

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...
