Quarantine day 38

-



Today is going to be one of "those days," I think.

I haven't been sleeping well the past few weeks. I wake up in the middle of the night and can't seem to fall asleep again. If I do, it's sporadic. So I end up getting possibly five, broken, hours of sleep. Then the next day is pretty much a blur, because I'm so tired.

Last night was one of those nights.

I'm pretty sure it's just that there's so much crap going on, my mind won't shut off enough for a deep sleep.
This morning, I also woke up with a headache, that has only gotten worse in the last few hours. The headache could be caused by one of two things:

Just plain old weather and pressure. I'm usually talking here about the snow we get, but today we may have record breaking warmth. The weather rollercoaster continues.

But what I really feel is the cause of my lovely headache today, is the pain in my jaw!

You see, our lovely Baby Finn is growing like a weed, and he's only nine months old, but is already bigger than Brodee. On top of that, Finn is still full of puppy hyperness. That usually leads to me getting injured in some way.

As happened yesterday.

I was kneeling down in the kitchen petting Finn, Steve was in the living room. All was calm, before Finn decided that he wanted to look up at me. In true Finn fashion, when he looked up, he brought his whole head up fast and sudden. My chin was in the way.
                                            CLACK!
My teeth smashed together with such force that I saw a flash of light. And I felt the pain. Steve looked up and asked what that noise was. I told him it was my teeth.
But more than my teeth, something had happened to my jaw. The left side was and is very tender and I can't hyper-extend it. I don't know what happened to it.
I was hoping it was going to be better today, and it is better, but it still hurts. And so the throbbing in my jaw is most likely causing the throbbing in my head.
Thanks, Finn!

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...
