Roses in Bloom

Apr2

Such a beautiful welcome home!

Pretty in Yellow!

It’s the start of a great day. Birdseed is out for the birds, puppies are at my feet in their beds, and I’m starting my day. I might even get to writing today. Yesterday, once I got home, I was still organizing stuff.

I went to use my recliner, and it wasn’t reclining. It was an easy fix, but just another thing to try and figure out. The doctor said I could use a water pik, no floss, and so I went to use it, no longer working. I did the dishes this morning, and the disposal is stuck. I’ll take a broom handle to it in a while. The house was getting warm, so I went to adjust the temperature, and the batteries in the thermostat were dead. Fixed. My Ring Bell needs to be charged too. How could everything stop working while I wasn’t even here??? lol

Off to get some more stuff done!

Have a super flowery kind of day.

It’s Not an April Fool’s Joke–I’m Home!

Apr1

So I feel a little like my dogs. The groomer shorn them so they were clean when I got home. But they’ll grow out their fur quickly and I need them clean because my immune system is so compromised.

I’m eating better, sleeping better, getting way more exercise. I feel great. But soon, I’ll be back on another chemo cycle. Hopefully, my blood counts will be higher when I do my next bloodwork. And hopefully I’ll handle the chemo better than I did the first two weeks on them. I went into remission in two weeks though and that was amazing.

When I came home, I got to see the grandkids, we all wore ND95 masks, the only ones the doctor recommended. They have them on Amazon now in all kinds of colors and they’re much more breathable and comfortable. Then I took my puppies home, and have been doing tons of laundry–even of other things like the dogs’ bedding. A house cleaner cleaned my home, so it would be much less dusty.

And my flowers have bloomed in profusion, more than I have ever seen before as if welcoming me home. I’m off to feed the birds for the first time in 5 weeks, so I can enjoy their chatter at the feeders. And then, I’m back to the books!!!

Have a great day!! Hope yours is as glorious as mine.

Where are the Eggs?

Mar31

If the hens are clowning around, no wonder we don’t have enough eggs!

Waiting to do another bone marrow biopsy, ugh, but the good news is that after that, I get to go home! Yay!!!

Hope you have a delightful day!

Spring Days are Perfect for a Tea Party

Mar30

I can’t wait to start the fountain in the backyard and feed the birds, welcoming them home! This means the crazy squirrels will be grabbing all the seeds they can too.

I know my dogs will be ecstatic to see me. Fingers crossed it’s very soon.

Have a delightful day!

Prince of the Sea

Mar29

If you caught the prince, would you keep him, or toss him back?

Felt bad after they gave me some medicine following dinner and promptly lost my dinner. But I managed to sleep. The spinal tap was painless, no cancer cells found at all, yay! And I walked 10 times around the ward this morning like I did yesterday. They wanted me to walk 3. I walk fast, so I try to do it before shift change and patients are being moved about.

If I caught the Prince of the Sea, I would write down his story, you know, for another book, if he was agreeable, and then he would rejoin his people as it should be.

What would you do?

Bluebonnets in Spring

Mar28

What’s more perfect than seeing a field of bluebonnets? Finding a Highland cow and her calf among them. Now I really wish I could take a picture like that!

Hope you all have a delightful spring day!!

A Little Bunny Dress Up

Mar27

The elements are from Foxey Squirrel at Oscraps. She does such cute work. And then we mix and match all kinds of backgrounds and other elements to create the scene.

I worked all day on Protecting the White Bear yesterday. I had one of those aha! moments when I was trying to figure out a key point in the story. I love it when I finally have instant clarity. 🙂 So that fixed a problem I was trying to come up with a solution for.

I’ll be working on it all day again today, adding people descriptors and such. I have to look up to see what color eyes and hair, etc, characters in previous books had. I also couldn’t sleep after midnight when they took blood–did I mention I was going to write a book about The Night Nurse–a vampire story? I mean, who else would take your blood in the middle of the night. lol But that won’t be for a couple of years.

When I woke, I began again thinking about The Chosen Fae, so I turned on my light and jotted down notes. Otherwise I keep thinking about the scenes, hoping I don’t forget them when I wake.

Well, I’m off to work and hope your day is cheerful and fun!

Changing Up a Photo Background

Mar26

I took the photo of the artsy astronaut at the hospital, but I had to give her a way to escape and enjoy the world around her!

I got 9 hours of sleep! I feel human! I’m off to work on Protecting the White Bear. Yay!

Hope you can escape to a wonderfully beautiful setting too.

What a Wolf Wants–July 1st!

Mar23

I finally updated the header for FB, but need to do a different one for my author page also. I used midjourney AI-generated wolves at the ocean since the story is about the red wolves of Oregon, the two of them living on the Oregon Coast and in all sorts of trouble. When are my shifters not in trouble?

I worked all day on edits on the paper copy of Protecting the White Bear. It was fun doing edits when the book is already written. I need to go back in and add more descriptions of people. I tend to write action, suspense, dialogue, and then have to go back in and show the people and scenes in more detail. Some are done, but others are skimpy. But truly, it’s the fun part for me since I’m not wracking my brain, trying to come up with the next scenes or scenarios, or figure out the ending.

But I also can’t stop thinking about Wolf Heir–the book coming in December, and The Chosen Fae, supposed to come out next year. Whenever I have scenes or ideas, I begin writing them so that when I totally focus on them, I’ll get them done.

It’s wonderful when I can think of great scenes and ideas and run with them, rather than sit and try to figure out what comes next. That’s why, even when I’m finishing up a book, I will stop to add to the other stories if the scenes come to me.

Hope your day is super fine! I’ve already been writing away, which totally makes me happy!
