Headache Log

Awoke feeling so-so. Went to work by 9am my headache had returned, but again I did not have any of the rx with me. Headache became severe, but I worked though the day.
When I got home took 1/2 a dose, about 5:45.
Headache again did not moderate, second 1/2 dose about 8:00.

Went to the zoo with my wife and started having headache issues my mid day. Did not have any Rx with me and I was unable to does until late afternoon about 4:30. Headache did not moderate and I re-dosed about 2 hours later. Headache again did not moderate and I went to bed at 8:30.
Sunday Silliness
I’m sure I have a few friends that would enjoy this verbal banter and frivolity. Continue reading
Book Cover
So I set today aside to work on the cover for my anthology Horseshoes and Hand Grenades. This project is moving along very nicely and I expect to have a copy turned over to my sweetie-wife for proofreading soon, possibly by the end of next week. After that it’s formatting issues, filing for the copyright registrations, and submitting it to Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Smashwords for ebook distribution.
My honest expectation is that aside from a handful of copies I really will not sell many, but even just a few means that these stories are being read and that is the purpose. For a story that is not being read is a sad thing indeed.
Now, here is the cover as it currently stands. Let me know what you think.

Still Busy
Today I visited my headache doctor, met with his physician’s assistant and we went over my progress. It’s been over two weeks without any headaches and that has made me really happy.
I have continued to work on Love and Loyalty. I will certainly be re-ordering the events of the novel based on the feedback from my writers group, but I still hope to have a beta copy ready in a couple of months.
Horseshoes and Hand Grenades is coming along. I’m learning how to operate photoshop. I have plans for combining elements from a couple of NASA photos to create my no-cost cover. This experiment in self-publishing is going to end up costing nothing but time.
I watched part of movie Sunday night, but grew too tired to finish it. That is a shame cause 1941 is one of my favorite films.
Apologies
Sorry for having been absent from my blog the last couple of days, however life has been sick and busy.
The cold I have is slowly, and that is the operative word, slowly, receding away. However I still end the day tired and without any get up and go.
Saturday in addition to dealing with the cold, I had the taxes to finalized and file. Yeah, I love writing checks to the government. Also on Saturday we finalized arrangements to replace all the windows in the condo. The windows we currently have were installed when the condo was built, 1977. They rattled in a breeze and barely muffle any sound at all from the quite busy streets and freeways near our home. Replacing the windows is, of course, expensive, but it is something we have wanted to do from the time we moved into this place. We’re getting dual paned, argon-filled, casement windows that should look handsome and stop heat and sound from traipsing back and forth like invited vampires.
I’ve also been working on the short story anthology, Horseshoes and Hand Grenades. I’ve done a light edit to the stories, just spelling and grammar, and now I am working on cover art and author’s notes. I hope to have it ready for sale via Barnes & Noble and Amazon soon (weeks not days).
I have also continued work on the newest version of Love & Loyalty. A whole new chapter has been written and now needs to be edited.
So you see, I have not been lazy.
Friday Fun
I must admit…I really dig this theme.
A rough cold
So the sore throat that started last Friday has been mainly a chest cold and some sinus issues for most of this week, Looks like I will not miss any work, but boy has it been rough.
Luckily I managed to keep on top of my writing and even do a little more research for the ebook project. I am encouraged by the support I have heard here. It’s really a matter of putting it together.
