I finished baby Oliver’s bears, and now I’m back to working on Protecting the White Bear!
I’m up to chapter 7 of edits. Just adding some descriptions. I tend to write action/dialogue, keep going forward, and then come back to give more visuals. Some of the scene settings are foremost on my mind, but other times, not. The same goes for what people look like. It’s more their dialogue and reaction–in this case to being handcuffed because they’re the bad guys. Then I have to give more of a description of what they look like. That’s the fun, easy part.
So I’m off to do that before I have to go to Houston for more bloodwork and to see the oncology doctor who will decide my Cycle 2 plan.
Off to write! Hope your day is productive and fun!

Miniature White Roses in the Garden. When I brought them home, they were so tiny. They’re now about 4 feet tall, but they don’t get any bigger than that. I love roses. And they seem to do really well here.
On to other news. I just read this article about the dangers of microplastic and so am switching out some things. I usually use ceramic dishes in the microwave, and I have several glass containers to reheat food also. My new storage containers are BPF free, and so are some new rubber freezer containers I bought. But everything else is going out. Including all the plastic cutting boards. You never know what could cause your illnesses, or even dementia, according to this article. So I’ll get a wooden cutting board like my parents always had. And don’t reheat your food in those plastic containers that restaurants send home with your leftovers!
Rescued azalea at Home Depot some years ago. It needs to be in a sunnier location. It used to be. But other shrubs and crepe mytles now tower over it.
We’re having thunderstorms this morning, in a couple of hours, so say the weather people. So what does that mean? It’s time to toss out some more flower seeds!!! I need to feed the dogs and get them out before it begins rumbling, or they won’t go out.
Hope your day is going great!

I scattered seeds around the electric units between my neighbor’s and my property last year because my hedge had died, and so I planted new ligustrum, but it will take them a while to grow bigger. The little round hedge hides the electrical boxes. So what better thing to do? Add some colorful flowers in the meantime. And this year, they came up looking great! They love full sun. I planted a bunch in the backyard but they were so shaded, that they bit the dust.
I’ve been working on a couple of bears for my new grandson. I’m just cutting them out for now, then it’s to the sewing room to sew them up on the sewing machine. They’re visiting at the end of the month, so I want to have them done before they get here.
I woke in the middle of the night, thinking of all the things I needed to do–so took the time to write them all down so I wouldn’t keep thinking about them. It works!
Off to cut out the 2nd bear and get into more mischief.
Have a great day!! And remember to smell the flowers!! Or at least revel in their beauty. For a moment.

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.

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.

When he flew up into the trees, I was so surprised because there were tons of people wandering around and he was unafraid of them. Only I was taking pictures of him. 🙂 I was delighted!
Beautiful bird of prey.
Well, I’m still struggling with this cold. So I’m off to nap and hope I get over it sooner than later.
Have a super unstressed day!

I finally felt a little better last night and managed to get this done! I’m off to work on Protecting the White Bear. Woke at 5 and couldn’t get back to sleep, so I was thinking about what I could add to it. No shutting off the writing brain sometimes!
Enjoy your day!!
