Sat, 16 Aug 2008 23:01:35 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/9887/journal/1249448 Hi! The Dr's appointment went well yesterday. My blood glucose levels are okay..   A1C is 6.4 or something like that.... my brain always wants to shut down when he says "okay". If they aren't 6.4 they are 6.7... but they are within limits for me. He also said my kidney fu...

I miscalculated somehow and thought it was 116... a bit of a disappointment...  Right now though I am on article 116 on day 11... Fri, 15 Aug 2008 06:18:39 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/9887/journal/1239095 Hi! I have a question and I hope it might generate some comments... Should I include the articles I do for "Blended Realms" in with my count of articles written? Right now I have only been counting those articles I write for "The Gnomestead Stump" -- but my goal was to ... Mon, 11 Aug 2008 02:17:30 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/9887/journal/1237056 They didn't quite have a category for this one... though sad and others might have suited earlier. Dad had a heart attack on July 28, the day after his gallbladder surgery. He has been in the accute coronary unit since then until yesterday when they moved him to the medical unit. There... Sat, 09 Aug 2008 21:45:25 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/9887/journal/1215612 Howdy! First the Important news! Dad had his surgery this morning and they didn't remove his gall bladder. I am not 100% sure what that means, but I think that means that they did not believe that it was necessary to remove it. When I called the hospital I talked with his nurse and she... Mon, 28 Jul 2008 20:28:22 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/9887/journal/1207320 Hey, doing okay, I am finding it easier to find topics, though a combination of depression and headaches is getting me a bit down. I can write with it, though sometimes need encouragment to get started. I am worried about my Dad in Hospital ~ Later  Thu, 24 Jul 2008 05:35:15 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/9887/journal/1201101 Well, I have been trying to write a few articles a day for the last bit while I can. I seek out inspiration where I can and act on it while it is fresh. Perhaps an article a day is a bit of a high expectation, but i really want to eventually support myself with my writing. Perhaps I might have ... Mon, 21 Jul 2008 03:04:28 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/9887/journal/1195770 Hi! It has been very difficult for me to keep up with writing an article a day to the point that sometimes I wonder if I want to continue at all.  Fri, 18 Jul 2008 02:59:06 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/9887/journal/1180747 Howdy,It has been a while since my last update so you might have guessed I have been struggling a little bit with my depression and other issues. The depression maginfies the scope of my other problems making it harder for me to seek the aide that I need. But it appears I though stumblingly I a... Thu, 10 Jul 2008 22:37:09 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/9887/journal/1152315 There have been tough patches for my writing lately. I have been at times wondering if I should continue because I haven't been having the energy to write and have been too sick at times. I just wrote two articles. Perhaps I can write another to try get a bit more  ahead than the one a... Fri, 27 Jun 2008 19:11:21 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/9887/journal/1147673 It has been a few days... more like over a week. I have been writing though off and on. It has been a combination of being sick from dealing with the Kidney stones combined with trying to be in shape to celebrate my 50th Birthday on the 19th. So some days I wrote none and others 2 articles. I hope t... Wed, 25 Jun 2008 20:20:30 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/9887/journal/1127261 I was hoping to write more today and got another written. Not sure if I shall complete a fourth. I also did some planning and thinking on my novel as well. Later!  Mon, 16 Jun 2008 23:50:22 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/9887/journal/1119376 Just added another... Fri, 13 Jun 2008 09:39:33 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/9887/journal/1119244 Hey, I am still ticking. I have had a rough few days and right now am up because of nightmares and discomfort. I have been writing articles and trying to keep up one a day. I might have had to rest on the laurels a day or so when too sick to write though, but I want to keep ahead of myself for ...
