It looks like a gorgeous day outside. Maybe I’ll sit outside later, if I can deal with the light.

Good morning. The eye is a bit better, but still sensitive. I’m going to try to do some stuff today. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Checking in for a bit. The swelling has gone down and my eye is opening p a bit. Still far from 100%. Hope I’ll be more useful tomorrow.

OK. Caught up for now. Back into the dark.

Swelling down a bit, but I still can’t hold my eyes open for an extended time and still light sensitive. Another day in the dark with my eyes closed. Ugh.

Good morning. Step back. Relax. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

It’s not going to be a productive week. Grrr.

Spent the day in bed with my eyes closed but not asleep. I guess that’s my plan for the next 3 days or so until the antibios kick in.

Ok picked up the antibiotics and back home. I’m unable to deal with sunlight today gah. This infection is turning me into a vampire? Seriously. Keeping my eyes open is painful. Gonna go offline in a dark room.

Ok nasty eye infection. Gotta pick up antibios.

Ok waiting at the dr. May be an hour or more. Oh well.

Good morning. Woke up and one of my eyes is almost swollen shut and poring bucket of tears. I guess I won’t be reading/writing/editing/coding today. Off to the eye doctor instead. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

The list of stuff I now have to do this week after a week away seems endless and overwhelming. I know I must tackle them one at a time, and in criticality order. That’s how you find peace. #life #success

I had a good time at PennWriters. Learned a bunch, met a bunch, talked a bunch, ate a bunch. Thanks to all. If you’re a member follow me and I’ll follow back. Side note: Most of the people there were 1st timers (as was I), and Pittsburghians. #pennwriters @pennwriters #writing

OK. I made it back home through ultra-dense fog. Time to unpack, catch up, and do laundry–all the exciting things.

It’s time to get off my feet.

Plan for tomorrow. Head home early. Thank you all who attended, organized and presented at Penn Writer’s Conference. This was my first time, and I learned some things, met friendly people (wish I had their business cards) and had a good time. #writing #pennwriters @pennwriters

Sins of the Son - #writing #throwaway #pennwriters #flash

“Blood poured out of his nose as freely as the scream from his mouth. His eyes shot sharp barbs at the slovenly man who loomed above him. His head ringing and spinning from the slap. The man, his speech slurred said, ‘Don’t you dare eye me, boy. I’ve taken on men bigger’n you.’ Out of the corner of …

I’m trying to decide whether to treat this story idea as a single book or a series. It naturally falls into a series, but that may not be the right way to go. #writing #planning #pennwriters
