I am in a new bundle! Sorcery and Steam! It actually means a LOT to me for this novel to be included in this bundle. Dean and Kris were the reason why I wrote the novel, “The Clockwork Fairy Kingdom,” in the first place. They’re in the dedication. They’re why I’m here in the first […]

Didn’t lose any weight this last week. May have gained a pound, but I’m not going to say that officially until next week and I see where my weight is at. I try to make conscious decisions about weight and diet. This time, I much more “fell off the wagon.” I stopped tracking my food

As you may or may not remember, I play silly games on my phone. Connecting the dots or bursting bubbles, etc. And I was getting frustrated. While on the one hand, it was something to do, on the other hand, it wasn’t necessarily relaxing, and it was SUCH a time sink. Recently, all I could

I’ll be 58 later on this year. I’m officially approaching 60. For most of my life, I’ve never felt old. I’ve taken care of myself and tried to stay in somewhat good shape. I knew I was no longer twenty, but I wasn’t *old*. 2019 though…Man, this has just been a hard year. Was sick

As predicted last week, the scale says that I lost more than one pound this week. I know that what happened was that I lost weight two weeks ago, but because I weighed myself during my period, that weight loss didn’t show up. So – YAY! I have at least five more pounds to lose,

Every once in a while I think, “Oh, it’s been so long. Surely my dairy sensitivity has gotten better. I can have just a little bit of cheese. It won’t be so bad.” And then the dairy headache starts. It isn’t a migraine, though it is a close cousin. It sits behind my eyes and
