Sick Kitty
Natasha has had a chronic cough that I noticed about two weeks after I got her back in November 2005. Hubby thought it might be hair balls — but she never coughed anything up. I’ve noticed her sounding congested sometimes. There was nothing I could put my finger on — … Continue reading →
Writing Update
Yeah. Writing. I haven’t said much about it lately, but I have been working through the One-Pass Revision of 30 Days to Regularity. I finished the pass this morning.

Just in case anyone is wondering, I make no money, directly or indirectly from this blog. … Continue reading →

These have emerged from last month’s “sausage making efforts” as well as are carried over from last year — either because they worked or they need to work: Personal Seek to obtain the things money can’t buy that I desire (Self-acceptance; Positive approach to life; Play) Continue preparation for living … Continue reading →
