Yearly Endoscopy Down

I probably shouldn't be typing this today since I'm legally a danger to myself and to society and in no way responsible for my actions (hell yes sedatives!), but...

As if all the bariatric surgery stuff wasn't enough, I'm still wrapping up treatment for the massive EOE flare I went through during lockdown (not recommended unless rolling around in agony on your bed trying not to scream because that will just make it hurt more is one of your personal kinks).  Last September (post surgery since all my pipes got reworked) I finally showed proper eosinophil count from biopsies and if it's still good this go around I get to start tapering off the meds over the next year, so...here's hoping!

Yeah, once a year doctors get to stick a probe down my throat and cut pieces of me out...cuz science!

Better than the other end, right?

But...bit of a sore throat and upset stomach (what's left of it) and...very tired since there is something very very very wrong with society that we think waking up before...let's go with 2pm...is ever acceptable.  Vampire hours are best hours!  Especially this 5am shit, drive to the hospital at 7am and there's already hundreds of high school kids milling all around, no wonder they're all asleep in class!  Bitch, I stayed up to watch Conan and Stone Cold raise some hell on WWF Raw and Beavis and Butthead and South Park back when it was still paper stop motion, how am I waking up at 5am to go school?  Oh, wait, that was over 20 years ago, you  old cranky bastard...

Anyway...writer is tired.

Fresno...might cool down end of next week.

So...progress should increase then.

Although, I have been working quite an acceptable amount just not on anything up on the status update page quite yet...

Hmmm....

Secrets!

Not Cool, Fresno!

I grudgingly accept that you're a shithole from May to August, but 105 for three days in a row during September is fucking uncalled for!

Also, more interestingly, Saturday marks the 10 year anniversary of THE FOUL MOUTH AND THE FANGED LADY being published.  Been a rough few years, as we've hashed over again and again, but things are looking better.  Still not on track, but I'd say the track is in sight and I can hear the train over the horizon.  Which is a big improvement on where we were.

Granted, even at six main novels and 4 side novels, quite a nice bit of effort all told.  Will definitely be looking at beating that mark in the next decade for sure!

Also granted, the books have gotten bigger and the tales have gotten wilder 😉

Oh for the days when King Henry thought teapots were his greatest nemesis!

Tease: Guess the Speaker Edition

 “Can I just stand in the corner and be all cool and broody while you do it?”
