Oops! Missed A Day...

01:08PM -- Yesterday was a good day for Larry. He felt good overall and didn't need a nausea or pain pill. I suspect the 2 units of blood on Thursday helped with his overall well-being. His hospice nurse stopped in around 3:30PM yesterday. It was good to see her again. She brought us back a picture from her vacation at the beach and a lovely seashell windchime! Lyn and Larry went to the 5:30PM showing of Hancock, the new Will Smith movie. Granted, Larry was tired when he got home, but at least he got out for a while. Practically unheard of now!

Lyn left this morning to go back home. I called her around 9:30 to ask if she left without saying goodbye. She actually woke Larry up around 6:30AM to say goodbye. Said she'd be back next weekend and hoped Larry wouldn't have another weekend like last weekend. I told her, "Me, too!". That was scary...a little too close for comfort, for me. Anyway, he's napping right now, although I'm sure he will be up on his computer a little later.

My boys -- Chris and Richard -- are both off from work this weekend!!! This is good news since they have worked overtime during the week and weekends (especially Richard) since early Spring this year.

I've actually landed a new graphic design job (work from home) doing book covers for a publisher. Plus, I've been trying to get some editing done. I got word yesterday that Harlequin is in the process of reviewing my submission to them for their Nocturne Bites line. Got my fingers crossed there! How I'd love to wedge my toe in the door there, but I'm not going to be surprised/devastated if I get the big "R" either. It's not easy getting a contract with the big guys when you don't have an agent.

Okay, enough for now. I'll write more later if I don't get sidetracked.
