So that happened …
Howdy,December is in full swing. I am having trouble typing because my nails are long. I've been avoiding typing on anything including my phone - just ends up with a lot of backspacing and who wants to be doing that? These nails were supposed to last a day. Well, it's been five days. Anywho, yesterday … Continue reading So that happened …

In fact, my last day is Tuesday the 6th. I will be spending lots of time with my family, getting some dental work done, getting … Continue reading Flowers on the wall …
Destination Anywhere:
You get points if you know the album and bonus points if you've seen the movie. 🙂 Yes, it's Jon Bon Jovi. I've loved this album since it was released.

Tick or tock?
With Twitter going down the gurgler under Elon's control (or is it?

I've already mentioned I'm on Mastadon - I like it. NZ Mastadon is a … Continue reading Tick or tock?
Days like this …
It's a stormy weekend. BUT, it was the first time I didn't know a storm was coming. Usually, my brain loses the plot and a migraine hits about the same time as a thunderstorm. Not this time. Makes me think the neurologist was right about increasing my meds. Awesome. :)This weekend I heard back from … Continue reading Days like this …
Undivided
I'll add the song or maybe the whole album at the end of this post. (Yes, it's Bon Jovi - but you knew that didn't you?) It's also the title of a Byte Series short story that is in Raidbyte. The story tagline is: D&D shouldn't be fatal. Undivided comes between Metabyte and Qubyte. It's … Continue reading Undivided

We’ve reached the end …
Of October. 🙂 What'd you think I was talking about?Oh, right [Whiskey Tango Foxtrot] ... there might be a finishedish first draft that I am going over and beefing up Crockett while checking that this story makes sense. (Grammarly does not recognise finishedish. Guess that'll be added to the "unique word" count for the week. … Continue reading We’ve reached the end …
