Quarantine day 36

-


I don't how much longer I'll be titling blog entries like that. The Stay at Home orders are slowly being lifted, today being day two. Now it's a "Stay Safe at Home" order. A few stores are opening, gyms and movie theaters by Friday. People are going out and about, but it is strongly suggested to remain diligent and keep a six foot distance between another person, and also to be sure and wear a mask.
Sadly, there are many ignorant ones who refuse to wear masks, even as they tow their flock of young children around. Those are the people who are going to begin the second wave of this virus.

Yes, I do believe there will be a second wave of this very soon. States like Georgia have not even seen a decrease in cases, yet they're opening up the cities. Stupid and careless.

Unfortunately, as I've said from the start, those ignorant people are going to be the ones who cause this entire thing to drag on, and it will take even longer to get back to whatever will be the new normal.

But Steve and I will do what we've been doing for the past thirty-six days, and that is chill out at home and stay safe.
We actually gave the dogs a bath yesterday, which was a challenge that had been put off for a long as possible.


Brodee's still a little wet in that pic, so he looks a bit Cujoish. Their clean, fluffy coats will most likely not make it through today. They are constantly wrestling and biting at one another, and end up covered in the other's slobber.
Let's see what today brings. 😏

Don't forget that all my eBooks have been marked down to $1.99, so if there's a book you've been waiting to read . . . 
And tell your friends! Word of mouth is an indie author's best friend.
(I just had a Delores Claiborne flashback, "An accident, Delores, can be a unhappy woman's best friend.")

Thanks!

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...
