Quarantine day 45

-



I remember when Steve, Buster (rest in peace, baby), and I first moved to Colorado. we were excited. Especially for the snow.
Buster loved everything right off the bat. Well, except the altitude. For three weeks after we arrived in Woodland Park, Buster and I suffered from altitude sickness. Headaches and feeling groggy and just blech. But, finally, our bodies acclimated to the altitude.

We spent our first nine months in an apartment. When we found the Cabin Above the Clouds, we knew we had to have it. Buster loved it immediately. Each time we drove to the cabin during the months we waited for closing, he would get excited as if he knew we'd be living there soon enough. He loved everything about it. Especially watching the deer as they walked around the property.


It seems like forever ago. Compared to life now, it seems like something made up.  It's hard to think of those times without my heart beginning to race and the tears start to well up in my eyes. But after the wave of sadness from the memories passes, I am grateful again that we that time in our lives. Grateful for Buster.

On this 45th day of quarantine, I guess I'm feeling nostalgic. Not so much the blues, but more along the lines of appreciation.


What a time it was.

Stay safe. Stay inside for others. 💓

We've started a new year. We've started a new opportunity to be a better person. A happier person. It's no secret that I'm one of the worst bloggers around. Why? Because no one reads it. And that had been a difficult thing for me to handle for years. So I feel I don't need to try.  2018 was a bad year. No only because there's a new problem with the cunt in the White House every day, but with people in general. People have gotten more violent and uncaring. As a society, it is clear that we are declining.  It's been extremely difficult attempting to stay positive over the last 12+ months. But that is going to change. I am going to fight for positivity. No more depression. No more doubting myself or my writing. If people don't want to read my blog, big fucking deal! I don't care anymore. The time for change is now! No more thoughts of suicide (yes, there have been days). No more self-depreciation. I will do whatever I can to be successful

Freedom of Speech?

  It’s been a while since I’ve posted here. It’s been a while since I’ve done any type of writing. I don’t even have a website anymore. I wasn’t planning on writing anything, probably eve again, but lately, things have been changing.  The “Supreme” Court has been making very dangerous changes to the laws in our country. Particularly six of the judges. Six CONSERVATIVE judges, who are forcing us to go back to the 1950’s! Their latest stunt is allowing businesses to discriminate against LGBT+ people if they don’t want to serve them, because it’s against their religion. They’re claiming it falls under the First Amendment: freedom of speech.  Oh, yeah, we’ll, here’s some freedom of speech for you: Fuck them!!! Fuck all Republicans!!! Fuck Donald tRump and his illiterate cult. Fuck all the ignorant morons who claim being “woke” is bad.  Here’s, some freedom of speech: I wish I was able to tell the cunt that walks in wearing a MAGA terrorist hat that their not welcome in our place of busines

Finished another one

After an almost seven month break from writing, yesterday I finished another book. It is the first installment of a new new trilogy called My Leprechaun . The first book is titled The End of the Rainbow . I'm excited about this series, but I'm also filled with angst. Finishing a book and getting it ready to put out into the world and see what it does is usually an exciting time. There's always that chance that this book will be the one that puts my name on the map. In pure blog openness,  that's what I had hoped for when I released Reunion last October. It was my first ghost story, and I thought it would make a huge splash. But it didn't. I fought for months just to get a few reviews.  The excitement fizzled and faded. And something inside me turned off. That was the start of my break from writing.  I was sure I was done working so hard for nothing in return. But there was this story that I had wanted to tell for years. I had almost finished the first draft months
