That’s how many hours I’ve gone without eating, so far. Aiming for 72, as that’s the length of fast the Hubby read about as being most helpful for cellular autophagy (where the good cells destroy the bad cells). This is the first time I’ve done an extended fast (I’ve done intermittent fasting for years), and… Continue reading 66

Guns Part One – Revolvers
One of these days, I will write a post about errors writers make writing about guns. This day is not that day. Or maybe it is… I was reading an NCIS fic yesterday, one of many in which Tony leaves NCIS. (This is one of my favorite types of NCIS stories to read; I’ve even… Continue reading Guns Part One – Revolvers
Progress!
I made four covers for four original short stories yesterday. I still have a couple more to go, but finding art for them proved to be more challenging than I’d expected. The InDesign learning curve didn’t do me any favors While the common telephone clears a use to the online survice on antibiotics, it goes… Continue reading Progress!
Fanfic Musings
I was going back through my notebooks and found a couple of notes for ideas that I’ll probably never write, and thought I’d offer them up to the universe and see if someone else might be inspired to take them up: Oliver Queen as a Sentinel, and Felicity Smoak as his Guide. How does a… Continue reading Fanfic Musings
Daylight Time and Short Story
Yes, I blew off posting last week. I was (and still am, in many ways) tired, especially but not only because of time change weekend. I read that the Senate voted to make Daylight Standard Time permanent (again; it was made permanent once back in the 40s? I think?), and while I love the idea… Continue reading Daylight Time and Short Story
Nothing Much to Say
Other than I’m finally at the third task of the Triwizard Tournament (in “Child of Iron, Goblet of Fire”), and I can see the end. I think. I’d planned to get most of that written today , but … last night was the *one* holiday party the hubby and I go to every year, and… Continue reading Nothing Much to Say
A Hard Weekend
This weekend was particularly difficult, which isn’t surprising, though also isn’t a great start to what’s going to be a hard couple of months. Why hard? Because from the beginning of November through the end of January was traditional a high concentration of time spent with my Mom. Oh, we saw her fairly often as… Continue reading A Hard Weekend
Tired.
It feels like this last week had twelve days in it – and not the happy kind around Christmas. Really, it’s just been the weekend. Friday, we had an early-morning call with our financial advisor to go over changes resulting from Mom’s death, and a noontime appointment to change over her bank account to me… Continue reading Tired.
Labor Day
This holiday weekend is aptly named this year. Since my Mom went into hospital back in May, I’ve let my housekeeping go. Between visiting her nearly daily, keeping family and friends updated with her condition, coordinating visits by said family and friends (three different locations, with three different visiting policies between her heart attack/stroke in… Continue reading Labor Day
A Zathara Story
We had some friends over for a late lunch this past weekend and, as tends to happen when we get together, the conversation ranged across all kinds of topics – politics, fiction, history, the works. Oddly enough, at some point, The Da Vinci Code came up, and I said that I’d read all but one… Continue reading A Zathara Story
