Overall better

So - still really looking forward to the trip this weekend (San Francisco, Santa Cruz and Monterey). Every thing is set - I've got a friend staying at the house to watch the dogs, reservations are made and kinda packed. Ok, I have to do a couple of loads of laundry today and tomorrow, not only clothes for the trip but also clean sheets for the guest bed. The friend is the only one that's used it, but I figure fresh sheets are the least I can do. He loves coming over, both because he is a big

Wacky Wednesday: Interview With Cassieq

I think one of my favorite things about the GA News Blog is when we have the opportunity to get to know the many authors that can be found on the site. Today is one such day as Myiege came to me not to long ago and told me that they had interviewed one of our newest Hosted Authors, CassieQ. Myiege asked if I would be interested in the interview for use in the GA News Blog and I instantly said YES!   Cassie has also agreed to hang out for a "Blog Chat" from 8pm-9pm Eastern Standard Time on Wedn

Remembering My Brother

My brother Dale, is dying. Cancer has robbed him of the rest of his life. He was diagnosed with prostate cancer a year ago. Received treatment. One morning he had a stroke. Killed the left side of his body. Diagnosis: metastatic brain cancer. Too deep. Finality. Today, Wednesday 29 January, he is in bed, at home. Can't do anything for himself. On morphine. In and out of sleep. Pre-coma. Eyes roll into his head. Doesn't recognise his family. Skin jaundiced. Face swollen. Body thin as a rake. It's

Writing? Well a bit

My life in the past two years has been sort of a roller coaster ride. One moment there is a clear road ahead, the next there are so many problems I think dynamite couldn't solve it.   Anyway things have slowed down in the issue department, at least momentarily. I presently have one story that I began to post, Last Christmas. I also have managed to do a prompt a week so far this year and am grateful that something is getting out.   Tonight I finished a story that I have had off and on since O

In case you missed it, I've posted a new chapter in Trials and Tribulations.   I'd love to hear your thoughts on it and every other chapter. Please, it's the only reward I get from writing. I don't mind a critical review if it's constructive.

Lost for words

Finished ward round this morning with the on call registrar, about ten o'clock.   Acute oncology ward, 18 kids in total, with 7 of those being new admissions this morning. I had lots of scans and blood tests to request, a few referrals to be made, and my own notes to update.   I finally finished just before noon, when the duty nurse informed me that one of the kids (a 13 year old boy called Jason, who has late stage cancer) had gone to the toilet about half an hour prior and hadn't come bac

Weekly Wrap Up!

I can't believe it's already Sunday. I don't know about everybody else, but this week has just seemed to go by so quickly and it's hard to believe that January is almost over already. Lost happened this week in the Gay Authors News Blog, so lets have a little recap!   On Monday Louis was kind enough to supply us with a review of "No Room In The Lodge" by Joann414. Based on the comments, many other readers also thoroughly enjoyed the story. If you haven't already checked out Louis' review, I su

Mainly medical update

As I mentioned, I've been having pain and numbness in my right side and pretty much just dealing with it. Wednesday, my left hand started feeling numb so I got a concerned and called my doctor's office to make an appointment. I saw him yesterday and he agreed that the neuropathy was getting a bit much.   When I started on the latest chemo drug, Revlimid, we decided to have me do the full strength of the pills, 25mg per day. A bit part of this is that I'm only 48 and should be able to tolera

Tomorrow's the big day!

Finally! After over two years of writing only co-works; I was able to finish Ice Fairy all on my own and turn it into a series to boot!   It goes up for sale tomorrow at three different sites; Smashwords, Amazon, and All Romance Ebooks.   Homework and life are slowing me down on progress on other items; but those will get done too...I promise.

What a day

So today has been totally weird.   First I was the only member of my team in Des Moines as the others were out on a job today. I've had an escalated issue yeh big boss gave me to do and it hasn't been easy. Well today I asked someone from her office to try and look something up for me and she got the same results so she asked another person to look it up. Mean while it dawns on this guy that it was his customer. He calls me asking what I am doing as he's been trying to fix this account. My res

It's the little things

So, thankfully today and yesterday have been "good" days. I'm up, able to do simple things around the house and the pain is at a reasonable level. Really happy, especially as Saturday and Sunday were horrible days - where the pain was so bad, I basically spent almost all of the day in bed. I'd get up, let the dogs out, feed them, have a bowl of cereal and take my meds (including pain pills) and then head back to bed. Only time I'd get up is if I had to pee or to let the dogs out.

Admiration, Apologies, Gratitude and Apprecation

I am currently working on, and hope to finish in time, a long-form short story for entry in the GA Spring Anthology. It is incredibly difficult and time consuming to winnow the chaff from the best grain of words I lay down on screen. My appreciation for what my partner does as part of his career and to provide for us has grown with leaps and bounds the longer I attempt this amazing thing. He is an art historian and author, co-author, collaborator and contributor of books on art history. I am pro

A Pie. With lots and lots of food in it.

Magpie's got a case of the Man Flu, which means that he's mostly lying on the couch whimpering and watching QI. When I asked him what he wanted for dinner today, he said, 'Lots and lots of food,' with roughly the coherence of your average hungry baby bird. I figured I'd better fix him a calorie bomb to give him some energy.   So I went to the shop, had a look around and came up with a cunning plan.   I'm very fond of Shepherd's Pie and its cousin, Cottage Pie (which is made w

Young and Gay in Putin's Russia: Documentary

So, I stumbled upon a documentary covering the effects of life for young LGBT people in Russia under the current climate.   http://www.gay.net/video/2014/01/15/watch-vices-heartbreaking-documentary-young-and-gay-putins-russia   (DISCLAIMER [taken from the site]: Viewers be advised. This documentary can be incredibly difficult to watch, and some of the footage is extremely graphic and disturbing. Parts of the documentary may be too intense for some viewers.)   I'd like to say I'm shocked at

Life Is So Unfair

My friend Josh. He's 23, and since he was about 10 or 11 years old, he's been dealing with the complications from his heart transplant. He should have graduated in 2013, but he had to drop out in fall 2012 to deal with hodgekin's disease. Then he couldn't come back for fall 2013. Now it looks like he can't come back at all, and he's planning on coming back down to pack up his apartment, because health-wise it's better for him to try and finish his degree closer to home. While he's not back-on wi
