So... How'd Your Day Go?

I think to learn creative writing its best not to learn from books. I already found some websites that have some video courses for 15 dollars per month for a subscription. So I've been searching the internet to find what my alternatives are. Some of them have creative writing exercises. For 15 dollars or for the price of a book I can view videos. I hope there is a web development video. That and I've been thinking of signing up again for a grammar correction software. Because with dictation long sentences can be a real problem.

To be creative I'd turn to that website to complete exercises and assignments. The website is called skilledshare incase anyone is interested. If any member here wants help with writing stories this is the cheapest way I can imagine. For someone with not a lot of money since I don't work and as a person with a lot of free time it sounds promising.

Been waiting for this opportunity. For people, I know who may have some difficulties in learning or writing or reading. This is your best bet on a budget.

I don't if it is just me but magnesium makes me very sleepy. I have gotten a lot out of it. Mood is good but sleeping schedule needs to be fixed because of sleeping too much.

'I get by with a little help from my friends...' Pretty bad angina flare, so Potato Cat has been keeping me company.

Saw a new neurologist today. Was very nice to be taken seriously. She's got me scheduled for an EEG next week--and they were nice enough to juggle the test I already had to do next week around so that I would only have to come in once. So, I get to make the long drive in once to get both the ultrasound of my liver and the one-hour EEG done, and hopefully we'll get some answers.

Feeling puny and trying to rest up.

I wrote a few pages for my kids. I don't think I'll go too long with it. I just want them to know a bit about their mother in the years before they was born.
She won't be around to answer their questions, and I won't be around forever. So, I just wanted to take a moment and highlight what a beautiful soul she was.
I just wish I could stop crying while I do it. Makes it hard to concentrate.

I got my boyfriend to finally relax for once this week

I terrible day. We have a Bengalese Eagle Owl named Kali, she is 33 and we have had her since she was a tiny chick a few days old. She has never had a day's illness in all that time, but recently has been very down, so today we took her to a specialist vet. They spent ages with her, including scans and an x-ray. It seems she has problems with her lungs, but also with her liver. We have various meds to give her, and we are hoping she will improve, but 33 is a good age for an owl and we are not over optimistic, after all this time she really is a member of the family though; all a bit awful.

I have been up for an hour and a half, and I'm already in a bad mood, I do not feel well, it promises to be a horrible day.

The bird spent the night in a box indoors as she must be kept warm, but the sun is out and she is back in her aviary eating a chick that has been well injected with medication and not looking too bad considering the indignities of yesterday. It is not easy handling a large owl when you want to do things they don't want, the beak end is snappy and nasty, but the feet end is near lethal. Grabbing her across the back so the wings are held closed and then turning her upside down and wrapping her in a towel is the normal way, I don't know what they did for x-raying. Also the vet had an emergency operation to deal with from a RTA right in the middle, so she was there from morning through to about 9pm.

Took Vickie (my wife) to the eye dr yesterday; the results of diabetes plus her strokes were obvious in the photos (of her internal eyes - by whatever new machine they were using), and found possible starting of glaucoma. She got new glasses plus contacts that may bring her vision to 20/50 we hope. The worst thing for her is losing her independence. Never has had to depend so much on other people. At least she is feeling better physically and walked some, but later had to use her wheelchair.

I'm feeling better myself after several months trying to convince myself that I was inadequate to my task of taking care of her. Maybe I'm getting my old confidence in myself back. One can hope.
