I just wanted to let everyone know that my hand/finger surgery went well. they put a nerve blocker in my arm to prevent any pain. I didn't know that it would completely block my usage of my left hand for over 12 hours. My arm and hand were totally useless to me until around 1:00 am the next morning…
I had told everyone that I had two surgeries scheduled for this month. Well, today I had my first. It was a very simple surgery. A Basal Squamous Cell Cancer was removed from my cheek. I can't believe how many injections of Xylocaine I had to endure. It felt like a dozen but, that was the worst par…
As most of you already know, I don't make journals very often, and when I do, I do it to let you know what's going on in my life. Well, it's time for another "What's Going On In My Life" journal. A couple of weeks ago, I had to have another crown put on one of my teeth. Last Saturday morning, I was…
I wanted to wish each and every one of you a very Merry Christmas and an equally Happy New Year. If you don't celebrate Christmas then I wish you a happy whatever holiday you celebrate. May you have plenty of friends and family to celebrate this wonderful day with.
Happy Birthday to my late mother. Today would have been her 88th birthday. She passed away 8 months ago. I know the pain of her passing will never go away but I do still miss her.
Well, after living in my current residence for 4 months, I'm finally going to use my stove/oven for something other than a catchall. Tomorrow, I'm actually going to cook my Thanksgiving meal, mostly in the oven but I'll be cooking it nonetheless. Wish me luck everyone, you're looking at someone who…
For those who have been waiting patiently for the next chapter of "There's No Way", take heart. I will be posting the next chapter two weeks from today, 11-26. I was planning on having the chapter ready last Sunday but my new external hard-drive decided it wanted to act up and I had to take it to m…
Well, for those who have been waiting with bated breath for my next chapter (and even those who just look forward to a new diversion in their lives), after a couple of months, I finally got the money together to purchase a replacement external hard drive. I took it to my IT Friday and, hopefully, e…
I thought I had already posted this but, I see that I didn't. So, I'll make necessary changes to make this journal relevant and post it today. Saturday was my 68th birthday. Shortly after I got home from work and grocery shopping, my mother fell, hit her head, and had to be taken to the ER. I went…
Yesterday was my 68th birthday. Shortly after I got home from work and grocery shopping, my mother fell, hit her head, and had to be taken to the ER. I went down there for a while until she told me to go home and she'd have the hospital call me to come and get her. I got the call around 12:30, pick…
Congratulations to the UGa Bulldogs, 65-7 over TCU for the National Championship. According to ESPN, this was the biggest margin of victory in a Championship game in the CFP era. They're the first time in the CFP era to win back-to-back championships. I'm looking forward to next season to see if th…
Well, I was wrong about the repairs to my car costing $3500.00. I got a call from my mechanic and they said it wasn't the timing belt that had been my problem. They took the engine apart to replace the belt and found the old belt was fine. However, they have no idea as to what is wrong with the eng…
Everyone who's followed me since I first joined Weasyl knows that I don't post many journals but, when I do, it's usually because of something happening to me that I believe that everyone should know about. Well, here we go again. As the title says, last week was quite a week for me. Monday and Tue…
Earlier today, I was grocery shopping. The cashier was talking to a couple from Germany and I heard them talking about learning languages. I mentioned that I had created a language for a story I'd written. When I got to the cashier, she asked me about my story. I told her the name of it was "Maroon…
Recently, I uploaded a new chapter to my "There's No Way" story. After looking at it after the upload something didn't look right. It turns out that the chapter I uploaded isn't supposed to happen for another day in the story. So, unfortunately, I'm going to have to delete the uploaded chapter and,…
Today is the first day of a hectic and interesting couple of weeks. Earlier today, I got injected with part 2 of CoVID inoculation. Because of semi-horror stories of getting sick from the second dosage, I'm taking tomorrow off so I won't have to worry about getting a point (or two) for not making i…
Hello everyone. For those of you who've been waiting, I finally finished the next chapter in my "There's No Way" story. I'll be uploading it over the next few days. But, it will definitely be uploaded everywhere by Friday night. I hope you enjoy the new chapter.
It's taken me over 40 chapters but, I've finally decided on a better name for my "Michael and Amanda" story. Starting with the next update (this weekend), the story's title will be "There's No Way". I decided on this title for several reasons. First, and most importantly, it's the title of Michael'…
I don't know how many of you have been following my story, "Michael and Amanda", but, if you have and if you're wondering why there haven't been any updates lately, I've only got the following excuses. First of all, in early February, my mother's younger, and only, sibling died a week before his 84…
Hello everybody. Have you missed me? Sorry about that. I've been in the hospital since this past Thursday due to an infection in the ring finger of my left hand. It had swollen to about twice the normal size. After several days of intravenous antibiotics and minor surgery to remove the infection, I…
Recently, I uploaded a chapter from a story. Someone attempted to read the chapter and found that he needed access permission to read the story. When I asked Google what was going on, they stated that I needed to Publish to the Web. What I'd like to know is, would you prefer that I upload two copie…
To those who have been reading my "Michael and Amanda" story, I've finally caught up with the other sites that I'm posting the story to. Therefore, I'm going to start uploading an older story, one that I finished 8 years ago. It's called "Marooned on Tashoo". It's the story of a 25th Century human.…
I've been thinking about posting this journal for a while. For those that know, I'm writing a story that takes place 20,000 years in the future in which an anthro species called Humanimals are the dominant species on Earth. When they became the dominant species, they changed the names of the cities…
I thought that I only had 2 updates about my voice loss but I was wrong. So, here's part 3 (hopefully, last part) I had my physical today. Boy, am I tired of seeing doctors. Anyway, I told my primary care doctor what was found with the CAT scans and what my ENT thinks could be my problem. My primar…
Well, I had my CAT scans this morning. After going through a background check that would have done the CIA proud, I was allowed into the hospital. I was called into the back where the CAT scan room is located. I had to wait over an hour due to the fact that the hospital wanted to inject dye and my…
Well, earlier today I had my CAT scans done. I'll be seeing my ENT doctor shortly to find out what, if anything, was found. Hopefully, it isn't anything too bad and can be corrected medically. Wish me luck and I'll let everyone know what was discovered later today.
To those of your fortunate enough to have a significant other, I want to wish each and every one of you a very Happy Valentine's Day. May this day bring you all the love and affection you could ever hope for. I'm lucky in that my two cats, especially my Me-you, give me the love and affection that I…
Wow! I just realized that I had forgotten to include Weasyl in my story uploads. I'm going to have to start uploading my new story here starting tomorrow (2-9) so that anybody who isn't on the other sites I'm on can read it and let me know what they think of it.
Well, I just recently got back from surgery on my foot. I don't feel any pain, currently, but I do have a prescription for a pain killer and I may take it just to insure that I don't feel any pain during the next week. I'm wearing a boot that is throwing my balance off because it's designed to prev…
To those people who follow me and celebrate the day, I want to wish each and every one of you a "Happy Easter". Celebrate it in your own inimitable way and enjoy yourself as safely as you can. If you don't celebrate the day, I want to wish you a happy Sunday.
Well, this afternoon, in about 10 hours or so, my kitty Me-you will be coming home from her extended stay at the vet. (I'm afraid to guess how much a month's stay at the vet is going to set me back.) No, she wasn't sick, she was just too young for me to care for properly. (She was about 5 weeks old…
Here in the USA, today, 17 June 2018, is Father's Day. I want to wish each and every one of the fathers out there a very Happy Father's Day.
Here in the USA, today, 13 May 2018, is Mother's Day and I just wanted to wish every woman a very Happy Mother's Day. Even if you're in the USA or not, I want to wish you a Happy Mother's Day as well. I hope you enjoy today.
Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday to me. Yes, today, Sunday, 8 April 2018, is the 63rd anniversary of the day of my birth. If I had known I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself 45 years ago.
For the first time in many years, we of south Georgia are experiencing an ice storm. It's the first time we've experienced anything like this since December, 1989, when we has several inches of snow just before Christmas. My place of employment told us to not come in today and I'm glad they did. My…
This part of this journal was written on September 12, 2017. First of all, I want to express my most sincerest of sympathies to everyone affected by Hurricane/Tropical Storm Irma. I hope that you have very little, if any, damage and that your power is restored soon. Second of all, we evacuated our…
First of all, I want to express my most sincerest of sympathies to everyone affected by Hurricane/Tropical Storm Irma. I hope that you have very little, if any, damage and that your power is restored soon. Second of all, we evacuated our home and headed inland about 70 miles to an uncle's house in…
Well, it's been 9 months since my baby girl, Pixie, passed away from feline adenocarcinoma. I received a phone call today from my vet offering me a white male cat for free. He's supposed to be a laid back lap cat who doesn't cause trouble with other animals. After talking it over with my mother, I'…
