Oops!

Well, I missed yesterday as far as my blog goes. By the time I realized I hadn't done it, it was after eight at night. By that time, my brain is turned off for the day.

It was an odd day, anyway. It was about an hour or two after Steve woke up, and he asked me,
"Is today our wedding anniversary?"
After being quarantined for the last three months, I didn't have a direct answer.
So, once we confirmed what day and date it was, we realized, it was indeed our wedding anniversary.
Twelve years ago yesterday, Steve and I were married in Canada, at Niagara Falls. One of the best days of my life.
(On June 7th, it will be twenty-nine years that we've been together.)

There wasn't much for us to be able to do for the special day yesterday, but we made it as nice as we could. We spent a lot of time out on the patio enjoying the nice weather. Steve cooked ribs all day, and when we ate them around six or so, you just needed a fork to push the meat off the bone. I'm not much of a foodie, but Steve makes great ribs.
We closed the day out with an episode of Game of Thrones. Oddly enough, it was the episode with the red wedding. It's still awful to watch, no matter how many times we've seen it. What a better way to celebrate a wedding anniversary? 😕

Twenty-nine years together.
People say to make a relationship work it take a lot of hard work. But I don't feel like ours takes a lot of work. Obviously, there were struggles in the beginning, just like all relationships. Plus, we were in our 20's! Seems like forever ago.

But as far as the hard work now goes . . . I think what we struggle most with is trying to spend more time with each other and reach our dreams of that forever home. 

The picture above is from five years ago when we first moved to Woodland Park. What a ride it's been. What an adventure it's been. I can't imagine having done it with anyone else.

Stay safe. Mask up. Protect others. 💓

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...
