“Hey, Lucy. It’s Friday. Let’s get ready to rumble.”
Friday is here and time to get ready for the weekend. This week was pretty productive. The edits are pretty much finished on the next book. Gwen Plano and I have written the sequel to The Contract and now we are trying to get to a name. The manuscript is due to the editor in January and hopefully, we will have a name by then.
Bailey is doing quite well. She is eating (Knock on wood) and appears to be comfortable.
Today’s JohnKu is about adaptability. I hope you have a great weekend.
“Uh, Lucy. It’s Friday. Time to get up and party.”
Black Friday has physically arrived. It has been preceded by virtual black Fridays since the fourth of July (Obvious exaggeration). This is the only day of the year where you can save tons of money by spending tons of money. (only in America is this possible)
Today’s JohnKu explores this phenomenon. I hope you have a super weekend
It is Friday and time to start preparing for the weekend. This is the last Friday before Thanksgiving. It is hard to believe the holidays are on us already. I’m not sure if we are ready or not. I guess there really is no choice since the day comes around and ready or not it will be Thanksgiving.
We have had another pretty challenging week with Bailey. She has had some difficulty with nausea. We have some new medicine, and so far it looks like it is working. Bailey, bless her heart, does not like to take medication. We have to grind pills and then get some media that she will accept. She used to take her medicine in baby food. Now she is on to us. The only way she will take it is in a suspension that I give her by syringe. No needle, just the syringe into the mouth behind the molars. Even as I write she has decided to keep a clamped jar. Well probably TMI, but all in all, Bailey is hold ing her own.
Thanks to everyone who has offered such kind words of support. Those words do help.
Today’s JohnKu talks about what words can do. I hope you have a lovely weekend.
“Welcome home, Bailey.” “Nothing feels as good as home Little Stuff. This grass is divine.”
Friday is here, and it has been quite a week. Monday saw the need to rush Bailey to the Emergency Care Clinic in San Antonio. She was continuing to deteriorate, and we needed some advanced tests and scans that were not available locally. They kept her and did all the testing to confirm the diagnosis. Baily has stage V Lymphoma. As you can guess the prognosis does not include a cure. The best we can do now is focus on her quality of life which we intend to do with additional treatment. We will be concentrating on continuing the drugs that make her feel the best she can for the time we have left.
Thank you for all the good wishes we have received since Bailey’s illness became known and know we appreciate your kindness.
As those of you who have faced the loss of a pet know, it is a hard road that requires courage to do whatever is in the best needs of your loved one. We hope Bailey has the six to ten months of relatively good health that the vet has projected. None of us are ready to say goodbye. We feel blessed to have the time to continue our love for her. When the quality of her life is in jeopardy though we will need to be strong and do what is right for her.
Today’s JohnKu talks of responsibility. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.
“Come on Dad. It’s Friday. Put your back into it. You can win.”
It is Friday. Our thoughts and prayers go to those affected by Hurricane Michael. Currently, there have been two deaths reported and an untold amount of damage. Power is out for over 800,000 residents. It will be a long recovery for those in the path.
Today’s JohnKu speaks of challenges. Hope you have a super weekend.
Friday is here and it seems like it came around pretty fast. At least that is my opinion. This week was pretty normal. Not much going on except doing the editing on the WIP.
One exciting thing is Gwen Plano and I will be guests on the Rave Reviews Book Club, Rave Waves Blog Talk Radio show titled Behind the Pen with host Beem Weeks. The show is Saturday, October 6th at 12:00 Central time. We will be talking about The Contract. Here is the link in case you want to tune in. http://www.blogtalkradio.com/ravereviewsbookclub
Today’s JohnKu talks about a normal week. Have a great weekend.
Yay, it is Friday. This has seemed like a long week for some reason. Maybe its the fact that I’m editing the next release. For whatever reason when I’m editing time moves very slowly. I suppose it is the need to move carefully across the words. It could also be that I don’t enjoy editing a lot. Not that I hate it but like eating mashed orange squash, I would certainly like to be doing something else.
Today’s JohnKu talks about those things we may not totally enjoy doing but are necessary. I hope you have a super weekend.
Another Friday is upon us. Here’s wishing you all a lovely weekend. I was supposed to be in McKinney Texas at a book festival. Unfortunately, there is a lot of rain expected in the area (near Dallas). Rain tends to cut down on attendance, so the event was postponed until next June. I was looking forward to this event but can fully understand the organizer’s need to put it off. It would not be a good thing to have a bunch of authors travel to the location and have no readers show up. Today’s JohnKu talks about change.
“I know it’s Friday Dad. I need a weekend for sure.”
Friday again. This week has been all about the weather. Named storms have been forming up and Florence is projected to make landfall this morning. We have to pray that all the precautions have been enough to save human life on the East Coast. We have been lucky here in Texas in that Invest 95L is not expected to rise to hurricane strength. It will bring three to five inches of rain but that is way better than what is expected for Florence. There have been over one million people who have evacuated away from the Eastern coastal towns. Let’s hope that those who chose to stay are spared as well.
This week’s JohnKu talks about the power of nature. I hope you have a peaceful weekend.
Friday again. I hope you are looking forward to a nice weekend. We are certainly glad the tourist season is behind us. It is so quiet one can now enjoy the sound of the surf and gulls without it being mixed with the sounds of boom boxes and the barley pop-fueled loud laughter of half-naked sun worshippers. There is another sensation that hit me today. There is no smoke smell wafting up from too many bonfires and napalm charged charcoal burners. I can actually breathe in deeply and not rush for the rescue inhaler. All in all the best nine months coming up.
Today’s JohnKu talks about sharing which is certainly something we townies need to do with visitors during the summer months. Have a good weekend.
