I took the photo of the bird in San Diego. Not sure what kind it is. But it’s pretty.
My blood counts looked good despite being on chemo for 9 days. I took the RSV shot because of my low immune system. I’ve been feeling nauseous, but not sure if it’s from the chemo or the shot. They took me off a couple of pills, yay! And reduced the amount I have on another. That’s 17 fewer pills a week. Woohoo!
I’m still taking a lot, but I’m glad I’m not having to take as many. If I get sick again, I’ll have to take them again.
Hope your day is pill-less!

I’m behind on my writing still. I caught up on two days, but had planned to get to 40K today and I’m at 34. So not happening. The dogs are washed, combed out, look great, until they roll in something else outside.
It’s cold out today, chill factor of 22 this morning. I hurried the dogs up outside, unhooked the last of my water hoses. It was dry since I haven’t used it for weeks.
I’m off to write and hope to get at least 2,000 words today. I was doing a lot of editing that doesn’t add a lot of scenes or words. But I’m not sure where to go with the story either. 🙂 Which helps when trying to write more words. lol
Stay warm!

I feel like a broken record. Still working on the White Wolf book rewrites. I came to the end of the book, found a scene that I had moved around and around and it belongs earlier in the book, so trying to figure out where to put it now. lol Okay, finally found its home. Still need a more finished ending to the story though. Will work on that until I have to pick up little one today.
I used Oscraps border, but took the picture of the pelican in flight and the sailboat in the background in San Diego some years ago.
In the meantime, I read where some people in Texas were getting humongous electric bills. Not just what I had heard via the grapevine before but some Texans received electric bills amounting to $17,000. Forget paying the mortgage, car payments, health insurance, home insurance, car insurance–taxes!, other bills, for food, gas, or whatever else you need to live on during the month because all your money, and the loan you’re going to have to take out will have to pay for the electric bill. Is that nuts, or what?
Like I said before, heads should roll over this whole fiasco. Now some are saying that the government is going to help people like that out who were charged such high bills. Well, thank you very much, but why is this even happening in the first place? And what does helping customers out mean in real terms? That their normal $200+ bill would still be a $200+ bill, or they might have to still pay a couple of thousand?
We have plenty of sun and wind in the state, but the powers that be want to keep their money in the fossil fuels which means Texas is literally screwed. Well, except for those who reap the benefits of profits from fossil fuels. Will someone please step forward who is truly for the PEOPLE and progress?
My electric bill comes due in a few days and I’m hoping I won’t have any heart attack surprises like that too. It didn’t look like it when I looked at my account, but who knows, right? None of these people knew they were going to get that kind of a bill either.
I really, really, really believe this year will get better. Sometime. Some day. Hopefully sooner than later!
I have faith. Unless I end up with a $17,000 electric bill.
I’ve been seeing the beautiful blanket flowers growing wild in a field whenever I drive past it to go to my daughter’s house, and EVERY time, I want to photograph them. But it’s hot out! Even at 7 this morning, it feels like 93 degrees. But I did it. Drove to the clubhouse and walked from their to the field of wildflowers and took pictures to my heart’s content. My lens glass kept fogging up. It was MUGGY and HOT. I’m still trying to cool down. But I also took pictures of lichen, I think it is, and other flowers, reflections of crepe myrtles in a pond, wild grasses, and a bird. I couldn’t tell what it was with the way the light was reflecting off the water. Maybe a heron, maybe a crow or a dove. I really couldn’t tell.
We had 109 heat index yesterday, probably the same or higher today because it’s supposed to get to 98.
Unfortunately, my camera isn’t automatically uploading pictures to my computer any longer. It does this periodically, total pain. So I have to do it manually, and those tiny little frames are hard to tell what the picture is, for me. Anyway, so I hope I got some good shots of the flowers and all to share in the coming week. Despite the heat, I always feel better when I can photograph something!
I managed 3,000 on Wolff Bros yesterday (6,000 now), and 1,000 on You Had Me at Cougar (13K now). That was after spending the morning and having lunch with the kids, so I didn’t get to writing until 3 pm. So now, I’m off to write!!
Some fun sightings in San Diego–gnarled trees along the waterfront, a go-cart driving down the street, and the reflection of the sunset and the marina in the glass of the hotel.
These were taken a couple of years ago, and I haven’t ever shared.
Garlic chives and onions flowering, pretty and edible!
Off to write before I get together with my daughter and her baby. It’s spring break this week so she has off, which means trying to catch up on a million things. I don’t have spring break. I have a looming deadline, but I still want to take spring break too. lol
