Before I jump into “my day”, take a moment to check out Colin’s entry on THE SCRUFFY DOG REVIEW BLOG. This is the part that kills me:
In response to the action filed by Rowling’s solicitors, RDR Books accused the Scottish author of seeking to “claim a monopoly on the right to publish literary reference guides, and other non-academic research, relating to her own fiction”.
Uhmmm, it’s her creation DAMMIT! SHE SHOULD HAVE THE FUCKING MONOPOLY! Usually the vultures wait until the author is dead before they start picking apart their work. It’s a shame she has to defend a world she created from the bottom feeders. GO JK!
Sorry for the absence, but I’ve had some family issues to deal with. B4 has had a rough time lately, but I think we’ll be okay. I don’t want to go into details regarding B4, but in order to jog my own memory to this painful time a year or two down the road, I will say that I’ve never had to deal with juvenile angst and depression to such a degree before. It’s scary.
For those of you who are waiting for the Spring 2008 issue of The Scruffy Dog Review, it should be up this weekend. And as far as the SDR future goes, I’ve had time to think and it’s all good. I love doing it and though sometimes it does weigh on me, I’d never let it go. Everyone has worked too darned hard for so long. Thanks to Terri, Colin and Devon for letting me bend their ear.
B3 has an infected lymph node in her neck. Her right side is swollen and she looks very uneven. I took her to the doctor for some antibiotics. She’s in alot of pain and was out of school on Wednesday. Of course that doesn’t stop us from making “just a little fun” of her. Okay, maybe I went too far when I pulled up my turtleneck, put an orange inside the collar and asked, “Guess who I am?” She’s a good sport about it though, and even remembers to take her pills.
B2 has a softball tournament this weekend in some po-dunk town northeast of here (I think) and B4 has a baseball game. B1 finally passed the drivers test and received his permit. Now I have a chauffer. Let’s hope my nerves can take it. B3 has nothing going on this weekend. Lot’s of time to upload and format the SDR and jot down some to dos. I want to begin something new in May.
Today is Day 7 of no half-n-half in my coffee. I always knew it wasn’t a healthy habit, but when my intake became two quarts a week in my coffee, it was time to take some action. So since 4/11, it’s been straight-up black coffee. I have to say that it did take some getting used to, but now I really don’t miss it.
Oh, and here’s a shout out to Lori L! Thanks for reading!
