Recovering

Well, the cold/bug that has bedeviled me and my sweetie-wife seems to be abating. She’s going back to work in the morrow and I’m starting to feel well enough to return to my chores and duties.

I am not well enough to stay up late watching movies tonight so there shan’t be a Sunday Night Movie Feature this week. However I will still talk film tomorrow with a  brief review of Pirate Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, whihc we saw this morning and enjoyed.

I also hope to return to editing and writing on Love & Loyalty tomorrow. This cold/bug has had me so fogged that I could not think creatively.

Speaking of my writing, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades has been submitting for distribution through smashwords. In a couple of weeks it should be available through all the major eBook sites, Amazon, B&N, Sony, Apple, etc, and today I made it available through Smashwords as a free download for part of their Operation eBook which supplies free eBooks to services men and women deployed overseas. Hopefully I can lift a few spirits and make tedium less tedious.

 

p.s.

My sweetie-wife has decided to wait until after Worldcon, in August, before getting herself a new pet bird, but I am happy she will get herself another pet. She does love her birds and I miss the little fellow too.

Birthday

Well, today is my birthday. We aren’t making anything special of it. My sweetie-wife got me the William Patterson Heinlein biography and I am enjoying that. We’ll have cake, but after that I shall run my D&D game as usual.

Tomorrow we’ll make a trip up to JPL for their yearly open house.

It’s now been two years since I launched this blog and overall I am pretty happy with this experiment,

Another good day

I had a slight twinge of a headache this morning, but a quick dose of my Rx killed that damnable thing before it could form. The mort irritating thing I have had to deal with is being do throughly tired today. For some unfathomable reason I could not get to sleep last night.

I crawled into bed, sleepy, about my usual time, 11 pm, but I could not get to sleep until past 1am. I dragged today, but still sleepy is better than living with a migraine.

Tonight I got another chapter edited, the final author’s note added to Horseshoe & Hand Grenades, and more ground work laid out for my D&D game, so I am not complaining. I expect to turn H&H over to my sweetie-wife for copyediting on saturday, then once she has finished with it and I have entered to changes, optimistically I am expecting few, it will register for my copyright notice and start formatting for publication. Maybe two or three weeks and it should eb available for sale. I’m still thinking 99 cents.

Glorious Day!

So I saw my headache doctor today. (To be pedantic, I saw the Physician’s Assistant, but she is sharp and on the ball so I am happy with her work.) The chain migraine were simply unbearable and growing in strength. Soon I would have been missing work at my day job, you know, the one that actually pays the bills.  So I arranged for a few hours off this morning and went for help.

Help I got.

I am current taking three medications to break the wide swath of inflammation that is apparently marching across my the surface of my brain as Nazis did across Europe. One pill combines two medications into a horse pill of operatic size, then there is another medication that I took a lot of today, I will take less on each day that follows until I am taking none by Monday.

This combination is working because for most of today I have been pain free. Of it is glorious to be back. Now, I am tired, my sleep has been disturbed, but man I feel so much better.

Tonight I actually got editing done on Love & Loyalty, a new chapter fully corrected and ready for placement in the final novel. I got more work done on Horseshoes & Hand Grenades, that should be ready for my sweetie-wifes cool corrections by the weekend. AND I got some cool idea put into place for my D&D (3.5 edition) game for this weekend.

All in all, as Boromir is wont to say in extended versions of the films, “Today is a good day.”

Not my best week

As you can see from the sheer number of Headache Log postings I have done, it’s been a pretty bad week for me and migraines. In fact in the last week I had one, just one, day where I did NOT have a headache, Saturday. Every other day has been from a mild headache to nasty nasty pain that has sent me to bed by 8:30.

Tomorrow I see the doctor again. I went two weeks without a headache and now I can’t seem to go two days. This has seriously sucked.

Under The Weather

And that phrase makes me wonder does anyone every say that they are feeling over the weather?

Anyway I was going to blog about a 19th century book I finished, Wagner the Wehr-Wolf, but I am feeling poorly due to a sore throat. I will save my observations for another day.

More no posting posts

Yup as you can see form the headache tagged posts it has been a nasty couple of days for yours truly. I hope to get back to regular posting soon.

Tech Blues

I am hoping that I will not have to replace my PS3 system. It has developed a curious fault. It loves to lock-up at the home-screen. It plays games, videos, and Discs just fine, but once you return to the home screen the damned thing loves to lock-up tight.
I have no idea what is causing this.
