On Cold Winter Days…

Jan5

Being a penguin is the way to go!

I’m on my 8th day of chemo. So far, I feel alright, but need my blood counts to know for sure.

I managed 2,000 words for Bear in Pursuit and 2,000 words on The Chosen Fae yesterday, and am nearly at 2,000 words on The Chosen Fae today. Then I’ll switch over to Bear in Pursuit. I like working on a couple of stories at a time while I’m coming up with scenes. But once I really get into one book, I’ll write it through to the end and then switch over to the other. I have 7,000 words on Bear in Pursuit and 11,000 on The Chose Fae.

Okay, I need to get back to work. Hope you are staying warm today!

Winter Here Today

Dec30

It was 36 when I got up this morning. It’s very cold out in the shade and with the wind blowing so hard. It’s supposed to warm up to 55.

Got my blood work done. It looked good, but I just started chemo again yesterday, so next week when I do my blood work, it will tell more of the tale. It makes my counts all drop.

I’m nearly done with proofing Cougar Christmas Catastrophe!

Have an exciting day!!!

Shaggy Coat for Winter

Dec27

We’re having our Christmas today. It’s already 68 degrees this morning, but supposed to be 32 on Tuesday. Our weather is too weird. I have to get a blood draw then. Ugh.

I went over to the kids’ place for Christmas Eve last night, and we opened all the gifts in our stockings. I brought my granddaughter home for an overnighter, and she used one of the “science” fizzy soap bottles for her bath. Both grandkids were eager to take their baths last night, just to use their fun soaps. They were a hit.

She’s going to help me make our 7-layer cookie bars: graham cracker crust, butterscotch chips, chocolate chips, shredded coconut, pecans, and sweetened condensed milk. Butter is added to the crust, which makes 7 layers. It’s our yearly tradition, just like creating a gingerbread house is. My grandson wanted to stay overnight too, but I’ll take him another night. Maybe tonight. I start chemo on Monday, so might not be feeling that well.

I sort of finished Christmas Cougar Catastrophe. I think I need one more sentence to tie it up. And I need to reread the last chapter and the epilogue and then read the whole thing through again.

Have an enjoyable day! And hope you’re not being hit by the snowstorms back east, or the flooding issues back west.

A Visitor in a Winter Wonderland

Dec19

Our temperature was so warm yesterday, but cold again this morning. I need to get the ingredients for 7-layer bars. My granddaughter and I make them every year. I almost forgot about them as it has been such a rough time this year. But I saw a friend post that she was making them, and I was like light bulb time.

So I’ll make it with her closer to Christmas.

Hope you get all the treats you want for the holidays!

My Little Man–Well, Snowman

Jan22

In this rare weather event in the Houston area, I had to make a snowman. But I waited until it was warmer out!!! We actually had 4″ of snow.

While I was making him, Tanner kept trying to eat his nose, so I had to put him in the house with Max so I could finish the little guy.

Snow-covered roses in bloom. I had to dig out my chives, which are doing great, surprisingly enough, to snip some for dinner. I hope I don’t lose them before the cold snaps we’re getting stop.

I’m off to write before I forget the scene I was thinking about this morning.

Hope you have a wonderfully whimsical day!

Snow!

Jan21

This morning, at 5 a.m., I was taking pictures of snow. In the Houston area, we rarely get it, so I was like a kid on Christmas morning, wanting to see if we had some. Sure enough, we did, and it’s still snowing.

It’s still really dark out. Love how my phone can take pictures in the dark and they turn out great.

Of course the dogs are trying to find where to go and I’m wanting to hurry them up! They’ve seen snow twice here some years back and once in Crawford. Tanner was eating it. He loves to chew on ice cubes.

I managed to get to 39K on Protecting the White Bear. The weather sure makes it easier to write about snow.

Hope your day is super fine!

Sleepy Bear

Dec28

After all the goings-ons, do you feel like this?

Time for a nap!

I took this picture of him at the Cameron Park Zoo in Waco. Normally, I’d get a nice backend shot, so it was fun to see him facing me for a change. lol

I’m off to work on something.

Hope you’re hanging in there!

Merry Christmas!

Dec25

Hope your holidays are the best!

Off to celebrate with the kids in a bit. We had wild storms last night, but when I took the dogs out last night, something had torn up my patio chair cushions. Bizarre. A cougar shifter or wolf shifter that wasn’t mentioned in one of my stories?

They were torn like this on both chairs and the backs, just bizarre. A roaming neighborhood cat?

A mystery. Maybe to add to a story. Just a thought!

Hope your holidays are the best!!!

A Little Christmas Whimsy

Dec23

Hope your holidays are bright! I have to do some last-minute shopping this morning.

Got back into Baldur’s Gate 3 last night as a treat from working so hard all year. 🙂

Got to run!
