Random thoughts

This week is forecast to be sunny and warm.  Perhaps summer is finally on the way.

Baby bluebirds left the birdhouse on Sunday afternoon.  I actually watched a few of them leave.  They stick their heads out for a while, working up their nerve, I suppose, before finally taking flight.  They're cute little things, and I wish them well in the big bad world.

Trying to manage my diet, my sleep, and my headaches is a constant struggle.  I'm not losing ground, though.  In fact, I think I'm slowly improving.  If you're the praying sort, then I hope you'll pray for me.  Health stuff is scary and debilitating, and I'd rather be doing productive things.

I've acquired a table saw.  I've made a few practice cuts.  The good news is that I didn't saw off any of my fingers.  The bad news is that I'm still sort of terrified of it.  But that's actually good news, too, because that fear will go a long way towards keeping me safe.  I don't want to get too comfortable with the saw, because that's how carelessness happens, and carelessness is how catastrophes happen.

I've been mulling over the idea of writing something for Kindle Vella.  I still haven't decided.  But the idea of a serial is intriguing.

That's all for now.  Take care, folks, and thanks for supporting my work.

Rough weather

Lots of rough weather has blown through the southern states lately.  Here, it's rained for a couple of days straight.  I last saw the sun on the appropriately named Sunday.  If you're in the path of this stuff, I hope you're taking the necessary precautions and whatnot.

I haven't been feeling so hot, too.  I don't think I'm sick, but I've been fatigued.  Some of it's probably the weather, but I suspect some of it is my body still not having recovered from my January illness.  I may never get back to the self I was a year ago.

Thanks to all you folks who downloaded Clouds of Venus as part of my recent My Book Cave promotion.  I hope y'all enjoy it.

Take care, folks, and be kind to one another.
