Two weeks ago, I had to say goodbye to my beloved doggie buddy, Bruno, who had been my almost constant companion for the last 12 years. He lived a good life and was almost exactly 16 years old. To put it bluntly, it’s taken me this long to get to the point that I could even compose my thoughts to post something at all. I will get back to posting. Eventually. For now, though, I’m remembering the good times.Read More →
In fact the entire household has been sick. I’m actually getting better now but I’m currently taking care of things while others are dealing with it. So, it will probably be next week before I’m able to work on posting anything. On the flip side, I do have that new Shelly Laurenston book to write about once I feel up to it.Read More →
I have been very under the weather for most of the last month. Nothing serious, just a very bad cold that ended up as a bad sinus infection. And tried it’s best to go into bronchitis. Managed to beat that back but I definitely haven’t felt like spending any more time than necessary writing posts recently. My brain just wasn’t up for it. I haven’t given up and thrown in the towel just yet though. When I could I’ve been tweaking site stuff in the background working towards doing a complete thematic makeover sooner or later. Plus I do have several post projects in theRead More →
The last few weeks have been difficult for me personally. My sister has been in the hospital with pneumonia and at times hasn’t been doing so well. On top of that, I’ve had a really bad cold the last week or so. Just feeling miserable. At one point, I honestly thought I might have strep throat it was so sore. I’m feeling much better now but still have good days and bad days. Even on the bad days, though, I’ve been more worried about my sister than myself because it really was just a cold. Then came the news that Queen Elizabeth II had passedRead More →
I actually began feeling well enough to start doing a bit of blogging about a month ago. So, of course, we immediately started having a lot of problems with our internet connection. Then it died. Dead. As in we were no longer even getting a usable signal at our house except on our phones. Thus began the search for a new internet service. Which is not simple when you live in a more rural area. Basically we’ve been limping along using mobile hotspots at home for the last month plus. Luckily we have an unlimited data plan or that would’ve been a nightmare. Honestly, though,Read More →
And trying to get back to posting. Although I’m not guaranteeing anything because it’s been a rough couple of months for me health-wise. Basically, in January, I spent a week in the hospital. I’ve been out of the hospital for the last few weeks and doing some rehabilitation at home, thankfully. But it’s a slow process. So honestly I’m not sure how much I will be posting. At least for the next few weeks. I am doing a lot of reading and watching. As well as just generally making notes and clipping stuff like crazy. So it’s not like I don’t have some material toRead More →
I wanted to let everyone know I haven’t fallen off the face of the earth. The week before Thanksgiving I was very under the weather with a flare up of a nagging problem I’ve had for awhile. By the time I was over that, or at least mostly over it, we found ourselves in the middle of an unexpected redecorating project. Which isn’t over yet and will probably take the Christmas holiday to complete. What with one thing and another I simply haven’t had the energy or time to even think about about posting anything for the last month. But I will be back afterRead More →
Too much going on and not enough energy. Oh, I’ve been reading and watching and playing when I can. Definitely playing. So I will have a lot to talk about. Eventually. But right now? No energy or time for that matter left over to write anything. Be back when the “season” is over.Read More →
Just so you know I’m still here. And reading when I can. In fact, I’ve managed to finish the reread of the Jayne Castle Harmony books and am working on posts for each. But life interfered this last week so I took a break from posting. Be back soon.Read More →
It wasn’t until after the holidays that I realized just how much I had needed the time off. I’m not sure if it was just this last crazy year or that I simply needed some time to think. Could be either or both. Whatever, I definitely feel much more in the right frame of mind to write stuff for the site now. But I also believe the need to take a break and just think is something we all need to do occasionally. Even when blogging about something you love to talk about all the time in the first place. One of the romance bloggersRead More →
I was feeling horrible the last part of last week. Nothing major but I think my allergies finally got me down to the point I was feeling like I had a sinus infection. So basically I spent the weekend chilling and reading. Honestly, I just started feeling like doing anything at the computer in the last day. And that was only to finally get some much needed site maintenance done. Hopefully I can get some writing done tomorrow. But at this point I ain’t promising anything specific. Just saying.Read More →
I had gallbladder surgery a week ago and am just now starting to feel like I can sit at the computer for any length of time. Mainly I’ve been sitting around between bouts of walking and binging on some of my favorite TV series. Plus one that I never got around to finishing that I’ve almost completed. So maybe, emphasis on maybe there, I will be able to put together a post later this week. Here’s hoping.Read More →
short life update First and foremost, recently I’ve been having a lot of medical test related to some pain in my right side. Nothing is conclusive yet. I suspect, though, I will probably end up having gallbladder surgery within the next month or so. Therefore I’m attempting to backlog some posts. Just in case. There may only be one or two posts a week occasionally in the near future if I’m not successful. I try to do three posts each week but, you know, sometimes life happens. All things considered it’s a really good thing I decided to rerun the Ten Nights of Love seriesRead More →
I thought I would get something posted the end of this week but it ain’t happening. I have the double-whammy going on of a bad shoulder and some kind of stomach virus thing. So, yeah, ugh. See ya next week.Read More →
I’ve been stressed out this last week due to an upcoming medical procedure so my mind hasn’t been on posting regularly. So I thought I’d just do a quick update post on what I’ve been reading, watching and playing recently. I got in the mood a week or so ago to reread the Dana Marie Bell’s Maggie’s Grove supernatural romance series. I love those books. While I was reading (devouring) them again for the umpteenth time, I realized that she had a new one coming out on July 22. Big yahoo! So I”m planning on doing a post on the new book specifically and theRead More →
