Why?

-



It's sooooooo frustrating!!! Why, oh, why do people have to be so stupid? 

Last night, Steve and I were taking the dogs out, and saw that the downstairs neighbor was having a party. Why would that be frustrating? 

 BECAUSE THER'S A PANDEMIC GOING ON!

It's frustrating because, Steve helped take the dogs out last night, but that's pretty much all he can do because he is still recovering from this awful virus. The fatigue he is feeling is terrible. And he didn't even get the worst of it (thank God!).
People think this thing is a joke. They think it's not that bad. Big deal if they get it. But, as Steve said last night, "They just don't know anyone who's had it yet."

You know what's even sadder? The guy who was having the party is in the military. Great example of being responsible. Nice way to do what's right. 

I have to say, during this pandemic, I have lost so much respect for the human race. I'm just disgusted by everything I see. People actually protesting because they have to wear a mask and help stop the spread of a deadly virus.
Pathetic.

This pandemic is only going to get worse, so sadly, the ignorant ones will eventually have reality shoved in their faces. This fall and winter are supposed to be very bad. At least Steve won't be out there working in it.

Don't forget to check out my Amazon page, and tell at least one person today about one of my books. 

Thank you!

Stay safe. Mask up. Protect others. 💓

    It’s a sad thing when you see people willingly commit suicide

      Or homicide. I've had two patients now die after contracting Covid from their adult children who had to (a) go to the lake and (b) go to the bar, go home where they lived with their elder parents and spread it to them. The adult children are fine. One's mom and one's dad have since passed.

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...
