So of course, after having several good days in a row, I get hit with a bad one, out of the blue. Woke up with a massive headache this morning. This is as close to a migraine as I get these days. Though if it lingers, there’s a chance it will transform into a migraine. […]
One of the things that I’d learned in the past, but that really has gotten hammered on this year is that I *cannot* write when I’m exhausted. Period. Possibly I can do some non-fiction, but in all honestly, sleep is one of those things I can no longer skimp on. It makes me frustrated, sometimes.

Between my husband and I we know a lot of writers. Some are just crafting their first stories, others have many novels under their belt. We were talking on the drive down here that some of the less experienced writers who we know are still looking for the secret handshake–that one bit of advice that’s

Yesterday, I had a colonoscopy. The prep for it wasn’t too bad. The worst part of the prep was the laxative they had me take, before the Colyt. Ugh. Have never taken one before, don’t plan on taking one ever again. It made me nauseated and gave me quite a stomach cramp. Five years ago
Tomorrow, I’m going in for a colonoscopy. I had my first one five years ago. They found polyps that weren’t cancerous, but slightly worrisome. Instead of having me come back in ten years, they wanted me to come back in five. AFAIK, no one in my family has ever had cancer. Then again, most of
Yesterday started off as a good day. Took time in the morning to warm up – it was so cold outside! We stood around in sun beams as the sun started to come up, warming us both. I ended up having both tea as well as coffee. Now, I rarely have coffee any more. It
