A Sparrow and Female Cardinal

They are both going after the seeds that were scattered by other birds on the feeder.

Well, the good news is that we have another 3-day weekend from drs appts.

The bad news is I went to reorder a pill they want me to take. For a 28-day supply, it was $13,760. So I need to ask them about that tomorrow at my appt.

The good news is that my CT scan for my lungs came out clear. I just have some scarring from the pneumonia in my left lung.

I managed to write 3,000 words yesterday also. Almost to the halfway point on Wolfish!

We’re off today, forgot to put out the trash. I’m off to write some more.

Have a wonderful day!

Cardinal Eating

I only got 1,000 words written on Wolfish, but I had great medical news.

For the first time in over two years, my white blood cell count is normal! Platelets are normal! And Neutrophils are normal.

Red blood cells are slower to recover so they’re still low and can cause fatigue, weakness, and shortness of breath. Which I have. It makes me feel better knowing what the problem is that I feel these things when walking. Also hemoglobin is low. It will take time for the red blood cells to build back up.

Oh, and the bone marrow biopsy came back normal! So no new cancer cells! Still waiting on the DNA results.

We’re off to a CT scan this morning to see how my lungs are after having pneumonia and other doctor appointments.

Hope you all have a great day!

Blue Jay Drinking at the Fountain

When the fountain wasn’t working, I was so disappointed. All the birds flock to it.

I reached 9,000 on Wolfish! I hope to make the novella about 30K.

Today and tomorrow, and Friday I have drs appointments. It looks like Thurs we have off and hopefully the weekend.

Hope your day is going fine!

Replaced My Ceramic Bird Bath

With a plastic one after a raccoon destroyed my ceramic one. It works great and I’m happy to have it. I put the remnants of the ceramic one in the flowerbeds to look like broken shards in a Roman garden.

I’m not feeling well today, nauseous and couldn’t sleep at all last night. I’m taking a nausea pill before breakfast to hopefully help me keep down my meal. One of the pills I’m taking twice a day causes nausea. Or it could be from Graft Host Disease due to the transplant.

Otherwise, I’m nearly to 6,000 words on Wolfish, the Halloween novella. I plan on about 30,000 words. So a nice start. Both Wolf Heir and Tashama are with my beta readers.

Hope you are feeling bright and chipper. My daughter and granddaughter are sick so it’s a good thing my son is here. I can’t be around anyone who is sick.

Missing the Birds

No food, no water, no birdsong.

I had been gone for 5 weeks, and my fountain wasn’t working when we had a power outage while I was in the hospital. I hadn’t been filling the bird feeders. It sounded quiet and sad.

Then I returned home to be with my son for the month, and he fixed my water fountain, and I began feeding the birds. They’ve flocked back to the yard and filled it with birdsong. I love it!

Hope birds singing fills your days!

Tashama Cover Reveal

Working on final edits, then off to my beta readers. I wrote this book about 10 years ago, so glad to finally update it and get it ready for publication.

Appointments today and then 3 days off. Yay!

Hope your day is glorious!

Sweet Salvia

Of course when I saw the hummingbird sipping from the nectar, I didn’t have my camera. But they love the flowers.

Had a great sleep last night finally. One of the medicines I’m taking strips magnesium out of the body, which can cause muscle twitches. I didn’t know that. I’m taking one magnesium pill, but have to get magnesium infusions when I go to the hospital because the horse pill isn’t enough. The doctor said another pill would cause severe cramping and nausea so he didn’t want to start me on that until I was off of some of the 31 pills I’m taking now.

Thankfully, I’m off 6 pills as of tomorrow. Yay!

I started working on Wolfish, a Halloween tale, but I’m having trouble communicating with my cover artist. I’ve purchased several expensive covers from her but she’s unresponsive.

Have a super fun day!!

Art Museum

So we were told we have off today and tomorrow from appts. Yay!!! Friday we have to go in. And I looked at mychart to see about the weekend appts and they’ve been cancelled. Yahoo!!! Also Monday’s. So for sure I have them on Tues and Wed and another day, but that’s great news.

I actually walked 1.31 miles yesterday, so that was great news too.

I’m waiting for my son to get up before I start doing laundry. He still has jet lag from coming in from South Korea. We have a bunch of little things to accomplish, like fix my computer as it’s still not working. But my son has been a great help.

I’m off to get some chores done and then get to writing.

I want my main computer fixed so I can work on more edits on Tashama and Wolf Heir, but while I was in infusion yesterday for 2 and a half hours, I wrote the beginning of the Halloween wolf story I wanted to write. It will be a novella.

Hope you all have a terrific day!

Gerbera Daisy

I love gardens. They’re an extension of your home in a lush, green, and colorful way. I experiment all the time with planting plants in various locations, and I finally figured out that the gerbera daisy I planted in this spot comes back every year without fail. Sooooo, I’m going to try and plant a whole bunch of them in this spot to make a colorful bed of them and hopefully, they will come back. Why didn’t I think of that before?????

I’m still feeling weak. I know it’s all the little stem cells growing. And my blood counts aren’t normal yet. But I’m eager to get there. I’m eating a little better. But the cupboards and fridge are bare after me being gone for 5 weeks.

My son is here and we’re going to the grocery store after drs. appointments today.

Hope your day is filled with gardens and beautiful things.
