"Happy New Years Eve!!" I hope everyone had a great year? Ours was okay, a bit of a struggle but okay. We look forward to the new year and all it brings with it. It is twelve forty-eight here in Dalton, Georgia and I just got up from the bed. Both of us were up until late because we couldn't sleep and I finally laid down to sleep about seven thirty this morning.

I am sitting here trying to wake myself up so that I can get my day started, but it is becoming a bit difficult. My body is fatigued and thrown off its schedule, but I am slowly trying to get it back. I sat with my husband last night and watched some television together which we haven't done in a long time. I am usually at my computer writing.

Today I am going to finish off the one fantasy book so that I can begin the editing process on it while finishing up my next book which has already been started. I was working on four books at one time and decided to finish one at a time so that I can finish them quickly and then begin editing.

Today is all about writing to finish one up and keep working on the other. The other book is about a cannibal serial killer that leaves dinners for the detectives to find. I am having such a great time writing it and I usually get lost in the story while working on it.

I want to wish everyone an awesome day today and don't party too hard tonight. "Happy Birthday" to those who were born on this date and may you have many more. I need to get to work now so I hope everyone enjoys their day and see you next year.

Hello everyone. It is noon here in Dalton, Georgia and forty-seven degrees outside with the sun shining. I just got up a few minutes ago due to a rough night of sleep. I have been battling this cold and it just doesn't want to give up. I just fed the dogs and said my good mornings to them like I do every day. Each one of them gets a few minutes of my time one on one.

I am drinking my first cup of coffee which tastes so good right night and it warms me up too. I did some writing last night on a short story for an erotica book I am working on and also on my other book about elves and ogres. I am hoping to have it finished today or tomorrow.

Then, I begin working on my next book which is already ten-thousand words and hopefully have it done in about a week. I am getting my motivation back for writing and soon I will be pumping my stories out in a good rhythm. This will be nice for me because I want to see my books in physical form and then I can say, "Hey, I wrote that book."

Well, it is time to get to work if I want to finish this book today or tomorrow. I also have some things around the house to do first. I wish everyone a happy Saturday and spend time with your loved ones because you don't know how long you will have them here. "Happy Birthday" to those who were born on this date and may you have many more to come. Take care.

Hello everyone. How are you today? I am doing pretty good so far today. I am still battling with a cold but because I am diabetic it takes me a little longer to get over things. I am taking medicine and doing my breathing treatments which are helping. The coughing has been keeping me up at night so I went and got some night time medicine to help suppress the coughing at night.

It is rainy and wet here in Dalton, Georgia and I am waiting for our first snow to happen so that I can watch all our dogs go out and play in it. My neck and shoulder are hurting again today and I need to make an appointment with the doctor to get medication for pain.

I am getting closer to finishing my next fantasy novella which is at approximately seventeen thousand words and still two days worth of writing to go. I am having fun with it and the conflict is just about to begin in the story. It is elves and ogres against each other. It would be considered a young reader story but also for everyone else.

I am doing some writing after posting this and I have a few other things around the house to get done as well. I have a couple short stories that I have to write as well, one for a book and one article for a site that I publish on. I love writing and it is truly my passion.

I am anxious for the new year to get here which is in a couple more days and hopefully everything will be new coming with it. I have all of my lists and schedules ready and can't wait. So, let me get off here and get to writing my stories. I hope everyone has a safe and blessed Friday. "Happy Birthday" to everyone that was born on this date and may you have many more. Take care.

12/27/2018

Good morning everyone. It is nine o'clock in the morning here in Dalton, Georgia and forty-six degrees outside. When I let the dogs outside, the sky looks like it wants to snow but temperature wise it feels very nice. My husband and I just got up and we are working on our first cup of coffee. I'm not sure if I will go for the second one yet because my shoulder and neck are hurting and I am still working on waking up.

I got a few things done last night and some more book writing. Today I will have a few hours alone so I will be getting some more done today. I feel my motivation building and I should be able to stay on top of my writing schedule. I look forward to writing more books and some of them will be free ebooks. My freebie promotion on my latest book has begun and it is doing awesome. Readers are getting their copies.

Today I feel it will be a good day and I will remain positive. I have many things to do but since I have made a schedule for everything, it makes it easier for things to get done. My husband is going to go take care of some things with our roommates so I will be here alone which will be great because I will get some peace and quiet.

I know this will be short, but I want to jump on everything and get them done. I hope everyone has an awesome day and be blessed. I want to say "Happy Birthday" to those who were born on today's date and may you have many more to come. Take care.

Hello everyone. Christmas has come and gone and now it is time to get ready for the new year approaching. Did everyone get what they wanted for Christmas? I am just blessed to have my husband and family. They are the gifts that keep giving. It is beautiful outside and all the dogs are outside playing while my husband is sitting here playing his video games.

I am still recovering from my implant surgery but managed to clean up around the house a little. I will be working on some writing today and should be done writing my next book by Sunday. The next book is a fantasy book about elves and ogres in a beautiful magic forest. It is just a simple book of fantasy for everyone's enjoyment.

My latest book began its FREE promotion today so I hope everyone gets a copy before the promotion ends on the thirtieth of the month. I am doing the giveaway so that everyone can get a glimpse into my writing and to build the anticipation of the next book in its series. So, get your copy before it ends.

I have begun the process of getting things ready for the new year and making the plans needed and everything looks good so far. I will be busy with writing, assisting the homeless, and building our house. Lots of things to do this next year and many goals that need to be met. I have already completed most of my year-end cleaning and I still have to sort paperwork and get them in order.

Well, it is time to get moving with things so I will wish everyone an awesome day and be blessed in your endeavors. "Happy Birthday" to everyone with a birthday today and may you have many more to come. Take care.

12/25/2018

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone! I just woke up not too long ago and still getting my motivation together. I hope everyone is enjoying opening their gifts this morning from Santa? I wish we could have had a Christmas this year, but I will be saving all year next year for it so that we have a very nice Christmas.

I began working on getting all my lists and sheets ready for the new year last night so that I will be ready for January first. I am a list person and that is what keeps me going. I would not know what to do if it weren't for lists. I guess you could say that I would be stuck in a rut not knowing what to do or what had to be done.

Well, I can hear one of my roommates in the kitchen cooking and she will be doing the cooking for today's dinner. I hope everyone else will have a nice Christmas dinner to eat. Get nice and full and then think on what today means to you. To me, it is a day to remember family and how lucky we are to have them and that it was a day that my Lord and Savior was born in a manger so many years ago.

Well, today I will begin getting back into my routine and starting my writing again for the site and putting short stories together for a freebie book. I now have the time to get things done and while working my routine, everything will get done. I am excited about having one of my books published last week and look forward to publishing another one soon.

Well, it is time to get some other things done while I still have time. I want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a "Happy Birthday" to those celebrating one today. May you all have many more to come. Take care.

12/24/2018

"Merry Christmas!" I hope everyone is having a very merry Christmas and being safe and happy. We didn't get Christmas again this year which saddens me because I love to decorate and wrap gifts but our finances wouldn't even allow me to buy a twenty dollar tree. I know next year everything will be different because I will have my tree and decorations with plenty of gifts under the tree.

As for new news, I published my first vampire book the other evening just in time for my birthday. It is the first book in a four book series and I had waited so long to get it finished and published. I am very happy with it. All my books are easy reads because I don't believe in fluffing a story. I also began writing on one of my other books that need to be finished. I now have the time to write again and I am going to take advantage of it and get more of my books out there.

I want to give everyone a medical update on one of my health issues. Some of you know that I had an incontinence issue that became severe. I went to a urologist to find out what was going on and causing it. After several tests, they determined that I had a very nervous bladder. I wore a temporary pacemaker for about a week to see if that would help and it did.

Tuesday of last week, I went in for surgery to have a permanent pacemaker for my bladder implanted and the results of it are awesome. I have had no accidents, bedwetting, and I have felt the urge to go which I have not felt in almost a year. So, I am very ecstatic about the results and our decision to have the implant. I am still healing and a bit sore, but I am doing a lot better. I just can't do any lifting, bending, or twisting for a month so that the lead wire anchors will get set in place with scar tissue.

On to other matters, we are ready for the new year and my expectations for being an author look promising. I will have quite a few books out and my passion for writing will keep me going. I am slowly getting motivated again since having surgery has kept me down for a minute, but improvements are always a good thing.

Well, I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. I hope everyone stays safe and is blessed with love. There are those who are not so fortunate and sleeping out in the cold alone, so keep them in your prayers. "Happy Birthday" to everyone celebrating one today and may you have many more. Take care.

12/19/2018

Good morning to all. How are you? I am okay I guess. I have slept about an hour all night due to hurting and being sore. I had my surgery yesterday and now I have a pacemaker implant for my bladder in my lower back. It has been very sore and painful all night. It is hard getting comfortable without it pulling my lower back.

I have been put on limitations of no bending, lifting, or twisting for a month instead of just a couple weeks. The brain to the pacemaker is implanted in the lower part of my back. There are two different incisions which belong to the brain and lead wire going to my bladder nerve behind my spine.

I was supposed to rest yesterday which I did for the most part, but I will be down in bed today to make sure I don't rip stitches out and to give it a chance to begin healing. I have taken some pain medication and it is beginning to kick in and at that point, I will be laying back down and hopefully getting some sleep.

I am on my last chapter to edit before getting it done and published which will make my day. To see it go up on Amazon will make me very happy. Once it is published, I can work on getting my other books that have been started done, edited, and then published as well.

Well, I need to go lay down now and I will be up later today working on my books. Have a blessed day and take care. "Happy Birthday" to all that is turning another year older today

12/18/2018

Good morning everyone. Today is the day for my surgery and I am patiently sitting here waiting to leave in about fifteen minutes. Please keep me in your prayers. My surgery is scheduled for noon today and I have been waiting for this day to get here. I am sitting here dressed and ready to go with my husband who is ready to run out the door like he is in a hurry to sit and wait in the hospital.

This will be a short post because of having to leave in a few minutes. My husband and I got up at seven and got the house cleaned and had coffee so everything would be taken care of before we leave. I will probably be down for the rest of the day due to anesthesia and pain medication, but I will try to post something in the morning if I can.

Everyone is ready for my surgery as well because there are others who are going to be here to help my husband out while I am in recovery. God bless them all. I needed a break but not like this, lol. So, it is time to get going and I wish you all a blessed day and a "Happy Birthday" to those celebrating today. Take care.

12/17/2018

Hello to all, it is twelve forty-three and sunny here in Dalton, Georgia. I am doing okay today and slept in a little. My surgery is tomorrow morning at noon but I have to be at the hospital at ten. I am a little nervous but excited at the same time to have my medical issue resolved even if it is just fifty percent better it is a start.

My husband and roommate's ex-wife has been taking care of the house chores and cooking for me and she will be here for the rest of the week since I will be down for a few days after surgery. I will be able to go back into my routine a little at a time as the soreness and pain allow me to. At least I will have help from my husband after she leaves.

I know I still won't be able to bend over, lift, or twist for a while but to stand and cook I can do. I already see a big difference with just the temporary pacemaker and it is allowing me to have a happier life with not so many accidents which I have had for a few years now. It is a great relief.

Today I will be finishing up one round of editing on my book and moving onto the next round before publishing. I will be making it the best it can be for my readers. I hope everyone enjoys my first vampire book and looks forward to the next one in the series. Once the book is published, I can move on to finishing up another one of my books in progress. I had been working on multiple books at one time until it came time to edit the first one.

I also have a few nonfiction books to finish up as well. I look forward to having many more books published soon and continuing my list of books to write. I have a list total of forty books to write all with outlines already completed and ready to write. I spend about six and a half hours a day writing on them to get them done and ready for a good reading.

Well, it is time for me to wash my hair and get a sponge bath done so I will post again tomorrow morning before I leave for the hospital. I hope everyone has an awesome Monday and a blessed week. I want to wish everyone turning another year older today a very "Happy Birthday" and may you have many more to come. Take care.

12/16/2018

Good morning everyone. It is seven o'clock in the morning and forty-six degrees here in Dalton, Georgia. It is still dark outside and a bit chilly. The puppies are running around playing and eating while being looked after by our pit/lab mix. It is almost cute to see her watch them and keep them in check.

Today I am going to try and get back on my schedule so that everything can get done. I hate falling behind on things and I still have to limit my actions and movements due to still having this temporary pacemaker connected to me. I have the surgery for permanent placement on Tuesday and that will take me down for a few days more before going back to my regular routine.

I am doing pretty good with the pacemaker and things have improved drastically. I am noticing my mood is getting better and I don't have to worry so much about having accidents. My husband has been a real help around here while I have limited movement. He has been helping with house chores and I love him for that.

I have been up since six o'clock and having my second cup of coffee with my husband. I feel a bit rested compared to how much sleep I was getting without the pacemaker. I am going to stay positive about my future and look for days to improve as they go by.

"Happy Birthday" to everyone who turns another year older today and to everyone else, I wish you a blessed Sunday and may you all have many more. Take care.

12/15/2018

Good evening everyone and how are you this evening? I am doing okay today. We had the memorial service for our roommate's dad this afternoon and it was pretty good. He will be missed. Other than that, we came home from the memorial and I got a chance to clean my room up and change the linen. The puppies pen has been taken down and now that they are paper trained, they have access to both rooms and the other dogs. My big baby who is lab/pit mix, but looks like a black lab, has taken it upon herself to play a mother.

She takes care of them and looks after them even though she has never had pups herself and is just over a year old. She has been through two heat cycles with no pregnancies but treats these little ones like her own. They are all laying together on the puppies bed and sleeping. It is just so cute to see her laying with them being a mommy.

I am doing a couple of loads of laundry and then I have the rest of the day to do whatever which I will get some more of my book edited. I have a plan to get it published Monday as long as all goes well. We are finally getting things together financially to where we can get out of debt, but it will take time to be back on top.

I have several books partly written and need to get in gear to finish writing them, but it is taking my time to get the one edited so it can get published. I am a bit frustrated behind it, but not enough to throw my hands up at it yet. I have made posts venting my frustration and about stopping my writing, but then I will be miserable because it is my passion and I can not just throw it away.

Well, time to get the laundry changed over and I wish everyone a blessed evening. I want to wish everyone celebrating a birthday today, "Happy Birthday" and may you have many blessings to come. Take care.

12/14/2018

Good evening everyone and Happy Friday! I know a lot of you are probably already partying a bit welcoming in the weekend. It is ten twenty-six in the evening here and my roommates are drinking a bit while my husband and I are in our bedroom. We have taken our medication and ready for bed. We are not the party type anymore.

Tomorrow is the memorial for my roommate's dad who passed away at the beginning of the month and it will be a sad day for us because I miss him. He was a pain in the ass every now and then but we still had some good times and laughter. It will be me saying goodbye to him one last time tomorrow and then it will become final. I am glad that he is no longer in any pain and suffering and in a better place.

I am still wearing the temporary pacemaker for my bladder and visited the doctor yesterday to inform them how I was doing with it. It has made a tremendous change in everything. I have not felt the urge to urinate in almost a year and now I do and it is wonderful. I am not having as many accidents and the urgency to go has decreased quite a bit. So, it was a good decision to try this. I am so happy to urinate the correct way, lol.

I just talked to the person in charge of surgery scheduling and my surgery for the permanent pacemaker implant will be Tuesday and I ask for everyone's prayers that all goes well. I am waiting with anxiety to have it done. It will be life changing to a point and I expect that, but it will be a welcomed change.

As far as my writing is concerned, it has been difficult to find the motivation to finish editing one book because of the whole pacemaker ordeal, it has been very uncomfortable and even times of pain. I have not been able to do a lot because of it and that is difficult also because I am so independent and feel stressed because of having to rely on others to do things for me.

So, tomorrow I will be spending quite a bit of the day finishing the editing and then having the final editing done so that it can be published hopefully Monday. I am looking forward to it with enthusiasm. I need to get my motivation's butt kicked into gear and keep moving. I have now found my passion and it has taken me all my life to find it and now I need to keep hold of it.

I hope everyone is enjoying their evening and wish everyone a blessed and safe evening. "Happy Birthday" to those who are a year older today and may you have many more. Take care.

12/12/2018

Hello everyone. How are you today? I guess I am doing pretty good. I am still adjusting to the temporary bladder pacemaker that I am wearing and a bit sore but doing better. It is a bit chilly outside but still a beautiful day. It has been hectic for the past few weeks and I just realized what I have been lacking on as far as my writing goes.

I just made a list of what I need to have done to get caught up and I am going to work on it today as soon as I get done with this post. Everyone has been very supportive of my condition of not being able to do much around the house and tomorrow I go back to the doctor to schedule my permanent implantation surgery which I am excited about because this device has been making things better for me with my medical condition of incontinence.

It will still put me down for a few more weeks, but I will be able to do a little more than I can now because the permanent one has anchors and no chance of coming out, where these temporary ones can move and come out. I am just glad that there has been a major improvement in my condition and symptoms.

Today was the first day that I released the puppies from their pen and allowed them to roam around the back room with the other dogs and it was fun to watch because they got along with all the dogs just fine and even ate food with them. Now, they are laying down napping after getting very full bellies of food and water and lots of playtime. It is quiet back here in my room and the perfect environment for writing.

I am feeling positive and good today. I went to the doctor and got refills on my medication and my attitude is much better today. Things are looking up. I should have my first vampire book published this evening which excites me even more. I hope everyone gets a copy and enjoys it.

Well, I need to get going because of so many things to do and I wish everyone a wonderfully blessed day. I want to wish everyone turning another year older today a very "Happy Birthday" and may you have many more. Take care.

12/10/2018

Hello everyone. I do apologize for not posting in a minute because of things getting back to normal around here. I am doing okay today just had to deal with some anxiety today because of a procedure. I had a temporary pacemaker put in for my bladder to help with an incontinence issue. The doctor said that I have a very nervous bladder, lol.

I had the procedure done and I am not supposed to do anything but take it easy for the next couple of days. I am sore in my lower back and it feels like a probe pushed up my rectum but it is easing up. I go back on Thursday to give my test results and then I will be scheduled for a permanent implantation of a pacemaker. At least this time, my hospital stay will be putting something in instead of taking something out of me, lol.

Everything is good here, so I guess it is just writing and editing for me the next couple of days and no housework. I am not supposed to bend, lift, or twist which they call a BLT. It was painful when they put the needles in my lower back to numb the area and now I am just sore.

My next book, "Immortal Passion" will be published tomorrow evening and I hope everyone gets a copy. It is the first book in a series about vampires. I have enjoyed writing it because I would love to be the main female character. You should really read it and give me some feedback. If you get a copy, feel free to leave me a review with your thoughts.

I will probably have the next book ready for publishing next week because as you know I have been working on several books at once. I have nothing better to do than write and get my stories out to the world. I find it very relaxing and enjoyable when I drift off into one of my stories.

Well, it is time to lay down and watch some television with my husband and try to get used to this pacemaker and I also have another doctor's appointment in the morning for my mental illness medications. I wish everyone a wonderful evening and "Happy Birthday" to all those who turned another year older today. Take care.

12/4/2018

Hello everyone. Today is not a good day and I feel like shit. I wanted to post to let everyone know that because of my mental health illness that I am putting things away and I don't know if I will pick them back up ever. I am canceling almost all of my doctor's appointments except the urologist because I am due to get a pacemaker in about a week from now.

The only reason for that is because I am tired of peeing the bed and all over myself. It is affecting me mentally which does not help the situation. I am tired of going through things and now that I think about it, it makes sense why I stayed homeless for so long because I had nothing for anyone to take away.

I don't know at this point what to do and all I can do is sit here and cry because I am worn down and my mind is going everywhere. If I am here tomorrow posting, it will be considered a miracle. So for now, I just have to play it by ear what will happen next. Take care everyone.

12/3/2018

Hello everyone. It is five forty-two in the evening here in Dalton, Georgia and fifty-three degrees outside which brings a beautiful day to a close. I, first, want to ask for prayers for the Dailey Family who lost their father early this morning. I was with him all day yesterday and up until his passing this morning. He was a man who lived a full life and passed at the age of seventy-two to go be with his wife who passed away three years ago yesterday. Please forward your thoughts and prayers their way. It has been a blessing to know this man and his family and he will always be in my thoughts and prayers as he journey's to be with the Lord.

After his passing this morning, I was able to go to bed and get some sleep since I had been up with him for twenty-four hours. Now, after a time of remembrance, I can begin a new day with achieving my goals and aspirations. He has been an inspiration to me even though we shared some disagreements, but I still had a love for him in my heart.

Tomorrow is a new day, and with it comes new hopes and dreams for a better future. I plan on getting back on schedule with everything in the morning and you will be seeing my writing pop up everywhere and I have plans to make a podcast and a Youtube video every week reading some of my works and giving updates on what is going on with me so that my readers can put a face with a name.

I want people to know that I am a real person with real problems but love to share my stories with the world. I also have a nonprofit assisting the homeless to become self-sufficient that I will be doing some stuff for and creating a new program to help out more. Everything has been a cluster f*** lately and my world has been tossed upside down with health issues and conditions, but I am slowly getting things back on track so that my family can move forward.

Right now, my husband is taking a nap and the dogs are snuggled with him while I sit here writing this post. The only light on is my desk lamp which makes it calmer for me to concentrate on things and my writing. I have fallen behind by a couple of weeks on my writing and will be playing some major catch up in the next few weeks to keep things moving forward.

Our finances are straightened out for right now and I am working to keep them that way. Somehow, I got thrown off with bills this month and thought that I would have some money to publish my next book, but again, bills took precedence and I cannot afford it right now. We are not even going to be able to afford Christmas this year again.

I almost want to just give up on the holidays because we have not had a Christmas in a couple of years, but come hell or high water my babies will get some things this year. I have not been able to buy any new clothes in a couple of years and anything different that I get to wear is a hand me down from someone else. Last month, I was able to buy us a package of socks each.

Times have been hard and I try to stay optimistic and positive, just like I have been trying to get books sold just to add to our income with no luck because I don't have money for marketing expenses and push out free advertising where I can. I hope that this new year will be different. I have tried posting on some crowdfunding sites which never gives me any return even after offering any funders a copy of the book published.

Well, enough venting for now. I wish everyone a happy and blessed week and evening. "Happy Birthday" to all those celebrating one today and may you have many more to come. Take care.

12/1/2018

"Happy First Day of December Everyone!" What a wonderfully mild day here in Dalton, Georgia with it lightly raining outside. I just got finished with the house chores and the reason I am running late today is that we were up until about one o'clock this morning checking on my roommate's dad because he had been asleep most of the day and his blood pressure was running dangerously low so we kept monitoring it.

I got up at my regular time and went to check on him and his blood pressure was back up a little bit, but I was tired so I laid back down and slept for a few hours more. I got up and checked it about nine this morning and he was back up safe enough to give him his medication and we have been tending to him, a house full of kids and adults, and trying to get the cleaning done. I am still doing laundry and should hopefully have it all done by tomorrow.

Later today we will be putting him in his lift while we change his bed sheets before dinner, but he is being well taken care of. Now, I can sit and get some of my stuff done while his daughter and son are in there, but I will still have to go check on him and administer his pain medication as long as his blood pressure is safe enough.

I will be getting an article written and a short story for a "freebie book" to give out, but I am swamped with book writing also. Well, I need to get started before it gets too late. I hope everyone has a blessed Saturday and "Happy Birthday" to all of you with a birthday today. May you all be blessed. Take care.
