How are we all doing this fine, almost summer but not quite summer but really is summer where I am, month?

Good, good, happy to hear that things are going as well as can be expected considering... waves vaguely at everything.

Lots of nothing going on here right now. Youngest kid just finished up their first year of college and is now recovering. Second oldest still living at home, is working on building their Twitch (I don't know what twitch is but they seem to put a lot of work into for no...

 It's been a minute. I figured if I was going to have a hissy fit and stop blogging then I should keep my word for once.

I mean, it's not like I have much to say. I'm still just going through the motions of a life at this point. Trying not to lose my house is becoming more than I can handle. If I could sell it and walk away with anything I would. The house across the street, three doors down, has been on the market for a couple months now. They're asking too much for it, but, it's still sitting t...

 Hey, if you're reading this, I hope you're having a lovely final day of this wretched month. Or first day of March if you're already there. 

So, I thought I'd end this month with an update on bookish things.

Nothing major, just letting y'all know where all the books are in the journey to getting them as wide as possible.

First, I did return most of my books to Amazon, as I've probably said. I don't know what I've written before, I don't read my posts. I will not return those that are still missing...

 If you're like me, you're just trying to stay sane right now. Two weeks. Just two damn weeks and...

Fucking hell!

So, there's no need to rehash the obvious. But the not so obvious, well, I guess we need to discuss that.

The effort in Oklahoma to make romance books illegal. Yeah, that wasn't unexpected, at least if you were paying attention last year. They've made it abundantly clear that books, all books, are enemy number one, but romance and gay literature are in the top of the pornography inclus...

 There are updates you should know about if you still care to follow me. 

Social media and publishers and stuff like that.

I try so very hard not to be political in my public life. I know some people find that to be political in and of itself. By not being political is political. I loathe and detest politics and religion and everything designed to draw them v us lines. I have always hoped we can, as a people, rise above that. But, that is not going to be the case any time soon. In fact, it will ge...

So, here we are, in a brand new month, in a brand new year. An odd year. Given the events of yesterday, I suspect it's going to be a really ODD year. So, how have we all been? Did we make it through the holiday madness with our sanity intact? Are we ready to... eh... why do we need to start off all bright and sunshiny and refreshed for what is just another day week month year? I've never known.
SIGHS!
I don't like January. I was born in January. I was born on a Monday in 1969, and my birthday is o...

 Choose a nonsense. I'm open for suggestions. But most of the nonsense is over so it's all good.

Meh... not really. Just the parts that don't matter in the grand scheme of things. 

So, what did we do for the holiday yesterday?

Not one damn thing. Seriously. There's no money for presents. So I didn't present anyone. We had steak for dinner last night. And some pie. 

Finally watched Deadpool & Wolverine. I guess I was saving the guy in the red suit for the other guy in red suit day. All I have to say ...

 I have to make at least four phone calls that I do not want to make. Two that involve house insurance and two that involve taxes and my LLC. I have yet to receive the Alabama state income refund for last year, it's now December. I have yet to do that federal compliance thing for my LLC. Maybe they're related. I don't know. The house insurance thing is about a policy that was cancelled before it was set to renew, but they submitted the bill to my mortgage company anyway, and mortgage company pai...

 Back again I see!!!

I don't know what it is about Thursday. I rarely ever notice what day it is until Thursday rolls around. 

Anyway, slogging along.

We're almost to the end of this month and year and first half of a decade, if you count from zero up, if you count from one up then next year. Most people count from one as we did at the millennium. I mean last century was the 20th, which means it ended with twenty. The new century started the first day of 2001. So, there. You can argue all you want,...

 I hate that I do this. Time impermanence I believe it's called. I have an inner clock like you would not believe. I rarely ever need an alarm or a wake up call. I always seem to know what time it is, give or take half an hour or so. I can't tell you what time it is without looking at a clock, that's not what I mean. I mean... I don't know. It's like I'm highly attuned in the moment. But things like future and past things... those may as well exist in a bubble floating around some metaphysical r...
