My case has been decided, and I have a baseline percentage of disability. I’m entitled to VA healthcare. The VA makes no bones that this care is provided contingent upon federal funding. They encourage me to maintain any other health insurance I have in addition to VA coverage. I do … Continue reading →
I finally updated my Polar Bear on the Loose editing status bar. I’m using Holly’s HTRYN course to do the revision, and I wasn’t sure how to capture it on the status bar. Word Count isn’t going to work for this, so I finally decided to do it by lesson … Continue reading →

My paternal grandmother died in February — complications of old age. She was my favorite grandmother when I was younger — she was a kid’s grandmother. She … Continue reading →

Or even revising klutzy lines of prose into interesting fiction. Alas. If only. I have been playing Mafia … Continue reading →
I’m back in Central TX for a bit. Hubby will be joining me shortly, but he’s stuck tying up some loose ends taking longer than he planned in San Antonio. Grass is dry, dry, dry. I’m watering (no water police here). I plan to run a Home Blessing Hour tomorrow … Continue reading →
I’ve been wondering, and I’ll be expanding my perusals beyond Facebook soon. I still really haven’t gotten back in the swing of things.
