Yeah, pretty much ... although the Medicare folks gave us a list of private investigative services who might drop by for a chat and how to confirm they're legitimate. The adventure continues?

Well, time for me to knuckle down and continue writing that feature length pilot.

Trying to figure out what to have for dinner tonight since my father is still in Vermont and he's the one that does the grocery shopping on Saturday and when he gets back today he probably won't do a big shop until next Saturday.

Nuthin' I'm tired and I gotta wrestle on-line with the Veterans and Army bureaucracies later. "Your benefits - but just try getting `em."

It's New Story day! It took all my willpower to wait this long, so let's GOOOO!

Getting ready to go to work as this week my schedule is one day on (Monday, Wednesday, Friday) and one day off (Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday).

Does Garfield have a comic album devoted entirely to I hate Monday" strips? Well, anyways, that all's over and done.
`sides, I'm not a big fan of the obese orange feline no how.

Neither is Marion. I suspect neither is Rick. Though he likes Weird Al...

Anyway, it's peak season at work, so I work 6 days a week until the end of the year, and start time is starting to get earlier, which adds up to lots more money on payday, but a very tired and dozy GDA after work.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Mon Dec 02, 2024 9:38 pm

Relaxing after work now that I am hope and about to eat some grilled chicken for dinner and watch my soap.

Time for the skipperkees to take me out for our "midnight meandering".

I ended up accidentally stumbling across a Reddit page that is all about how Trump is going to DESTROY the US which also has members destroying any hope we have of being a democracy again. I find myself reading through it so that I know my uneasiness and feelings of dread are justified.

Irrrronic there, Amazz. Our church hosted a big public education forum last night, "Stand against Hate". A panel of local, state, judicial, and police authorities presented a wide discussion of the challenge of identifying, investigating, and prosecuting (slowly but successfully) hate speech and hate vandalism crimes in the seacoast region. Sadly, as they told a packed audiance, they expect it to worsen. Overall, they were very successful in their presentations and in getting the citizens up to speed.

So, as I'm kinda the church quartermaster, I get to go in today and clean up. That's what I'm doing today.

Work had a 2:30 AM start time and I clocked out at 9:30. That's a full 7 hours of doing nothing but lift the heavy things. So sore. Much tired.

HiraokaNettoMichio · Post by **HiraokaNettoMichio** » Sat Dec 14, 2024 7:52 pm

Going to buckle down and do the pilot for that longhand fork of 'Housepets X DiVE.'

Going to eat my dinner that I didn't get to because I procrastinated on doing everything else and then going to bed.

GingaDensetsuAleu · Post by **GingaDensetsuAleu** » Sun Dec 15, 2024 10:02 am

It's finally my day off, so I slept until I couldn't anymore, and now I'm trying to power through 3 or 4 chapters in my current story that have some uncomfortable content. Then I can finally start wrapping it up and move on to my next story idea.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Sun Dec 15, 2024 1:45 pm

Getting ready to go out to dinner for my father's birthday in a few hours. I enjoy the ride up there but the food (it's a chicken restaurant) does leave a lot to be desired. My father likes it but he likes bland food.

NHWestoN · Post by **NHWestoN** » Sun Dec 15, 2024 5:32 pm

Filing chores and home management minutae. a little down today, for what it's worth.

GingaDensetsuAleu · Post by **GingaDensetsuAleu** » Mon Dec 16, 2024 1:22 am

Well, back to getting up at 1 AM.
At least I've finished with the part of my story that's the most uncomfortable to write. It won't be as uncomfortable to read unless you're super observant and realize what's actually going on. That character is a jerk.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Mon Dec 16, 2024 2:23 am

Trying (and failing) to go to bed because tomorrow my mother, her friend and I are going to go out for breakfast and then go to the mall up near her friend because that is where we can get some really nice Lindt chocolate truffles.

I don't know if I would make it on time when it comes to writing fanfiction. Although I may have bitten off too much when it comes to deadlines, at least I got some more written.

NHWestoN · Post by **NHWestoN** » Mon Dec 16, 2024 5:28 pm

Spent the day doing chores at the Church's day care center. They're a mission of the church but they're struggling to stay afloat and fund stipends to hep working familes board their kids while paying minders a salary above chicken feed. The neeed for daycare centers in this region is shrieking but, because of insurance and overhead costs, they're falling like Messerschmitts over London. It's tough be a working class stiff on the seacoast.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Mon Dec 16, 2024 5:56 pm

Preparing for the freezing rain that we are going to get tonight in a few hours. I hope that it doesn't make everything TOO icy out there...

GingaDensetsuAleu · Post by **GingaDensetsuAleu** » Tue Dec 17, 2024 5:43 pm

Well, that's another story completed and tucked under my belt for later. Starting on a new one tomorrow that I've been thinking about for a while.

I noticed this morning that I've worn part of my spacebar and a few of my letter keys smooth. I've only had this laptop about 8 months and it was practically new when I bought it.
Am I typing too much?

It means you're a disciplined and talented writer unlike me.

Sitting in a cabin in Idlewild, California, with the missus, my adult kids, their spouses and their dogs and falling asleep in front of the movie, Conclave, after several rounds od a board game called Azul. Back to Lost Angeles tomorrow.

It is new story day my dudes. (Excited vibrating)

I just gotta go to work first and then do my after-work routine.

NHWestoN · Post by **NHWestoN** » Mon Dec 30, 2024 11:46 am

Back in Lost Angeles and stayed up last night watching FLOW, a weird and stunningly beautiful work of animation out of Latvia. More to come.

Kicking myself because I set my alarm wrong as I wanted to get up at 1 PM today, I ended up setting it for 1 AM and slept until 3 PM. I hate doing that and it makes me feel lazy.

NHWestoN · Post by **NHWestoN** » Tue Dec 31, 2024 1:36 am

So transferred to son Paul's home in LA, walked the neighborhood, ate Korean chow (paul's adopted and his missus, Helen, is Korean-American, and watched the first episode of the second season of The Squid Game. SQ was actually quite well done, good drama and tension with a couple of twists at the end. Missed all the deer we got to watch walking around the Idlewild cabins in id-day, though.

I've been up for 21 hours and written 3 chapters. The planning where to next part of my brain is still raring to go but the actions and dialogue part is worn out and ready for a nap. New Year's in 15 minutes, then sleep.

Trying to overcome this cold that I have and feel better so I can look to the future. I have work tomorrow also so that is gonna be fun. >__<

GingaDensetsuAleu · Post by **GingaDensetsuAleu** » Wed Jan 01, 2025 11:29 am

Uh... This story gonna be a little bit LONGER. I gave the characters 2 years at the beginning of the story. It's now chapter 19 and 9 months in. I got SO MUCH story left to tell.

Preparing to go into work in an hour and trying to get my nasal congestion to be less bothersome by any means possible.

Spent most of the day at the San Diego Zoo, including almost an hour just enjoying the company of their two Okapis. Entrancing creatures. My second favorite animals after the okapis? ... All the kids! It's so much fun to be around children and hear their delight at seeing the animals.

I'm considering returning to my abandoned sequel to Stray Dog Heights, but first I have to reread it. It's been AGES and I don't remember most of the details.

Going to watch the season premiere of RuPaul's Drag Race and eat my dinner before I go to bed.
