Howdy, folks! It's been a while since I posted here. I am still writing. Sort of. Recently I announced I was sick and tired and decided to retire. Well, I'll tell you what! Several GREAT friends threatened to tie me up, smear me with molasses and sit me in a bed of fire ants.
SO! I am not retiring. Changed my mind. LOL!!
If you look at the pile of papers that appear on the top photo here, you'll see what I'm going through now. Yep, unfinished short stories, bits 'n bobs of novellas, plays and notes for other projects.
I did manage to finish one story that's been sitting here, collecting dust, and sent it out. I have good feedback so far from it, so fingers crossed.
Short update -- We moved to Las Cruces, NM, a little over six years ago and spent a lot of that time locked down during Covid. Yep, I got the monster, because I decided to help a poor sick lady in the Wal-Mart pharmacy find aspirin. I tell you what! I won't do THAT again. Just kidding. I might. ;-)
Anywho, I survived, barely. I do have residual lung issues and diminished desire to help little old ladies. Heh. In the meantime, I got an inoperable macular hole in one eye, a probably diagnosis of Sjogren's Disease and got banged up badly in a fall in my garden! For cryin' out loud!
After our sojourn in Las Cruces, I decided I wanted to move back home, to Texas, where your eyeballs don't get blasted by the high UV rays from the very high altitude every.single.time. you go outside. Plus, there's No rain there! None! Ugh.
We visited San Angelo, Texas, thirteen years ago and always said we'd go back. Well, we did. And we're stickin' here. It's beautiful and very green here, in spite of being in West Texas. AND it RAINS! They don't call it "The Oasis of West Texas" for nuthin'.
Did I mention I'm starting to write again?
Can't beat that with a STICK!
Happy trails!

Good for you! Writing again AND a blog post. I'm glad you're back in Texas. You'll be much happier there. SO sorry about the eye problem. Yuck.
I hadn't thought about the altitude atop the desert conditions...indeed, yikes. Glad you're finding your keyboard some more as well as your feet, back in Lone Star, with new cats and all...as a fellow late-contractor of C19, even with the vaccinations, all sympathies there, too (only suspicions in re how I got the bug)(mine felt like the worst strep throat one could imagine, along with a chest cold...not a fan).
Yours for advances in opthalmology.
Thank you, Todd! Yes, The Big C ain't for sissies, is it? My symptom was mostly like deathly pneumonia, with demons stabbing at my lungs everytime I tried to breathe. And with asthma as a kid, I think it was worse. Anyway, I survived THAT. Thanks for your help and support! bc
Thanks, Kaye. Yes, I missed "home" but am not happy with the politics here. But that's nothing new. Writing is much slower, but I'm getting 'er done. :-D
