Settled in Vegas, with my faithful feline furball Blip sleeping peacefully on my bed (and NOT trying to cover the keyboard...). Been a while since I lived on my own, with little support and less companionship. I'm managing. At least I got WHATDG finished, and planning another trip, on a different ship, down a different river, to a different set of problems. First problem is fitting it in between all the doctor visits. VA here is VERY efficient. New glasses next week. It's an hour trip one way

Moving to Texas proved to be a bust, so, next month (2 Dec) I'll be packing my goods and heading to Las Vegas. Well, me and Blip, that is. Looking forward to peace, quiet and privacy. Living with a family that without my roomie's generosity would be living out on the streets is very taxing on my sanity and my wallet. The hope is there that with my new living situation, I will be able to settle down enough to write coherently and work on the latest story. Hard to do with a ten-year-old going in

Started chapter 18 on Voyager, what's on the LST, where did the ponies go, and stuff like that. Hope I can keep up the pace. First writing since October. Let's see what happens next.

in new home in Texas now. Blip made the trip successfully and is now either getting acquainted with the other six cats, or is cowering behind the bed. If so, she'll come out.

Have a lot of unpacking to do, but before that, WE have a LOT of CLEANING UP to do before I CAN unpack. Maybe tomorrow we'll start. After 24 hours behind the wheel going through Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas, a couple of days off IS called for, agreed?

In New home. Relocating was a pain. No net here, will fix tomorrow. More news then.

As of the date of this writing, I am sixteen days out from completing my move from cold, snowy, frosty Salt Lake City to warm, sunny, salubrious San Angelo, Texas. Most everything is shipped, except for some final necessities which I will ship next week. (for example, my bathroom scale, spare clothes, and other assorted bric-a-brac that makes me comfortable).

Just wanted to let you know, I'm finally able to do some more writing on Mississippi Voyager. Can't say when it will be done, but I have not forgotten about it. Just today I had enough strength, stamina, will and lack of fog to do another page.

Thought I had lost track of the story line, but it came back to me an hour and a half ago. There's still some life in the old cat!

Birthday Monday. Don't ask the number, I'm just startled I have made it this far. LXII!

Yes, I know, I have not written in some time. Just have not had the strength. At least now I can put a name as to why I'm so exhausted every day, from wake up to lights out. Just one word. That word is:

Cardiomyopathy.

Recently, I was gifted with a set of pictures for my latest story, the Fearsome Foursome. I have been putting the character descriptions in the author's notes, and it all went well. Then, I got two more pics which I wrote scenes around. Problem was, I could not figure out a way to get the pictures up, with the pics stored on my computer. Thank you, Harts Fire, for telling me a way to do so. Now, chapter 24, Dude(tte) Drop In, has the pictures in place. Go enjoy!
