• The day that got lost

    February 10, 2014 /

    This morning I started out a little late as school was canceled again (but not tomorrow!) and did some laundry, fed the children, and then got a call from the GI doc for the boy. They could see him today…

  • The Cipher

    February 9, 2014 /

    I finished my revision of The Cipher for reissue and sent it off to my editor. I feel like I made HUGE changes, and yet, most of the book is the same. The changes are minor, and yet I feel…

  • Snow day

    February 7, 2014 /

    School was cancelled again today on account of snow. We’ve had about eight inches is my guess. Driving is really difficult for people. It’s especially hard on hills without 4wd (and sometimes even with it) and at lights and stops…

  • shoring up

    February 5, 2014 /

    I’ve been shoring up the characterizations in The Cipher, as I’ve mentioned before. On thing that I noticed, in a happy way, is that the character of Edgar and the way I wrote him reminds me of Red Reddington on…

  • Poking along

    February 4, 2014 /

    Today I took the dogs to the vet to get their shots and a well check. One needs to lose a pound or two, and both need to get some bones to chew the tartar off their teeth. Otherwise they…

  • The Jetson’s House

    February 1, 2014 /

    I have decided I want a Jetson’s house with a built in maid. Or butler. Or whatever you want to call someone who cleans so I don’t have to. I don’t mind cleaning a lot of things, but I really…

  • Stuffed silly

    January 31, 2014 /

    Why did I eat so much at dinner? why why why? Boy has only vomited twice so far  today. We took a walk in the park in the sunshine. It was great. I love not living in the freezing cold…

  • the news that is

    January 30, 2014 /

    I know, I’m not really posting much this week. The boy continues to be sick. I have been working on The Cipher for reissue. The weather has been very nice, and generally things have continued to plod along. We got…

  • at the end of the weekend

    January 27, 2014 /

    Technically today is the end of the weekend, because there was no school today for the kids. Well, the boy hasn’t been having any school anyhow. We are working on getting him qualified for a special medical accommodations program, and…

  • Potential progress made. Maybe.

    January 22, 2014 /

    Took boy into see his doc today (regular, not GI). I wanted to get his ears checked, just in case, and talk about counseling and anxiety. He talked to Q for awhile and gave him suggestions, gave me suggestions for…
