Not much to report today. Tired. But outside of a nice nap to make up for low sleep, I managed to progress on these.
I’ve had my yWriter7 open all day. I’m determined to write something before going to bed tonight.

I’m back to What Day Is It Anyway.
I totally forgot it was Monday until 8:30. Shoot! I missed the writers group zoom, again!
The day started with my doctor appointment. Guess what? I lost 17 pounds now. Bad news? I had hoped for 20.
I have to go back tomorrow to get my toe x-rayed. It’s still discolored and hurting.
We got to 100. Ugh! Expecting 104 tomorrow. Then a downward trend hitting the high 90s the rest of the week.
Watched Alone on Netflix. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=m9CiTagKvJo
Sorry that the URL is all you get. I haven’t figured out how to bring the YouTube to my blog page when on my phone.
I try to watch shows that have snow in them. It sort of helps. Alone is in the Arctic. That should do it!
While doing Duolingo, (oh! I just hit 700 days!) and writing this I had Day After Tomorrow playing on Amazon Prime.
Has anyone noticed the sound difference between the networks? For example, even with the volume on at 100% we can barely hear Netflix. While Amazon Prime I had to turn down to 60%.
Even between ABC and Animal Channel a big difference. Weird!
Time to toot the recorder and tickle the keys before bed
You all keep cool and safe!
I had typed about two thousand words today. I hit save every fifteen minutes. Then my dog wanted to go outside. I hit save and just as I did the computer popped off. I lost all the words from last night and today’s words. I am trying to catch up now so I’ll not say much here. It is so disappointing when computer crashes lose everything. I went through every file in dropbox and Onedrive to find anything to save me. But now it is a mishmash of things I have touched so I can’t find the right one. I’ll try to rename the one I am working on right now as it is the closest to what I had done.
Sorry for complaining. I’ll get back on track because the story is pushing me to tell it. I just need to get as much done tonight and tomorrow to get back to where I left off.
Way too hot to have a toothache. No appointment until August!
Climbing back to the slighty cooler floor. Not even enough energy for Bitmoji

After my lousy poem yesterday to catch up with the illegal alphabet blogging, and lousy weather and lousy lazying around NOT walking, I have very little to say.
I have been editing my first book. Until I reached a horrid sentence and can’t seem to find a creative way around it. So instead of showing you what it is, I will sneak in this tidbit: I’m editing my first book!
I wrote Haven in the March following 9/11. Actually, I made it a NaNoWriMo as I started on the Ides of March and finished on the Ides of April. Except I didn’t finish it until November the same year (2002) as there was a move involved and a lot of stressy things going on.
Haven started as I was riding the train on my daily commute to Irvine. During that time there were a lot of times the train wouldn’t continue on to LA. for fear of terrorists, etc. I sat there and wished, “If only there were a planet…” and that wish was strong enough to pull out my Palm Pilot and portable keyboard and started writing.
I have been told there is not enough tension in this book. But taking that wish, I was avoiding tension. These days I seek less tension as it seems everyone wants to blame each other, argue or hate each other. I think it is nearly worse than the atmosphere of 9/11. That was why I finally pulled it out and started working on it again. Then that lousy sentence! But editing is what I’ve chosen to do for CampNaNo. So…
If anyone is curious you can find the first 8 chapters here. I hope it isn’t Lousy.
Summer Countdown – Days Until Summer – Summer Countdown Widget. I missed three seasons due to fibro-flares. Here’s to another three that may be better due to my new meds: Gabapentin (300MG 3xday starting on Wednesday). I can only hope. Come back Summer! I wanted to play!
Oxalates: The Grain-Free Diet Trap – Empowered Sustenance. I am gluten-free/vegan I don’t know how do to this diet. Has anyone else tried? Any suggestions? I don’t like meat. I do love my cheese and had a hard time giving it up because of dairy allergies. The gluten-free seems to agree with my system, but still the fibro-flares are wild! I recently started taking gabapentin. I have looked it up and it sound promising, but I would rather not take drugs of any kind and change through diet and lifestyle. Trouble is my lifestyle lately includes much time in bed whining.
Torture & Symptoms of Fibromyalgia/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Yep. That’s today for me.
Chronic Comic 324 : FibroModem. I have been in an extreme flare the last few days. The weird part of that little comic is that when I am not in a flare I almost don’t believe such a thing exists. Meanwhile, I am very unhappy about my lack of wordage. Typing is very uncomfortable and I can’t make it too far from my bed so finding a why to Dragon-Speak in a private area hasn’t happened. But you watch. When this flare goes bye-bye I won’t remember how miserable I was. Grrrr.
