August .... folks I am so sorry. I have been majorly sick. The type of sick you can't get out of bed and breath type of sick. Those extractions of July got infeceted and I have not had the ability to do much more than plop in my bed and sleep and sleep deep. 

But I did manager to gather lots of dust. Sleeping that much meant lots of opportunities to kick back and dream. I did put on wattpad Sir Chewy and the Backyard wars though that was great. My recovery is starting to come along. I had neglected pulling down the July addition too and without the work its no longer charted. But that is why we need to work at things, but one must except a loss when your not working on a thing besides dreaming.

But even as I captured dust I also spent time to at least drop down what I'd add to the website. The pain was unbearable before I even got the infection. When you don't have work and are recovering from an operation — stay in bed when able, sleep through the pain until it's not so bad. Drinking anything hurts like... this is a family friendly site so we will not fill in that blank. I like most of us have the occasional potty mouth :D

Oh, here is a small story. I never cursed until I went to college. Slides yes, but actual cursing no. My friends when I first cursed in college laughed so hard as it sounded so bad. I was experimenting, as they said I needed corrupting far too seriously for comfort..


Their religion wasn't mine, but my dad always said to meet people where they are at. And so I meet people as how can you understand them without saying hello.

What look at them through a microscope like a sliver of a plant cell. We can tell a lot about plants from their cells. Humans too, but what inner workings of the heart and mind, a microscope doesn't reveal such things.

Red Blood Cells

When you look too close you miss the person.

Hand Holding Compass

And if you step too far back you miss the person.

So that is why you have to use all the details

And not look at all angles to find what is going on.

And that is why I opened myself up without juding folks for who they were, all sorts of people.

All sorts of faiths.

All manners of sufferings and stories and understood that looking too closely or too far only gave one image of the person.

The facets came with time, and so there I was in college having never genuinely cursed and it came out hilarious. But with all things one sometimes have to practice and sometimes they are just words when people curse.

But they can make some scared. And thus I paid attention to the details that they were hiding and shying away from. And listened genuinely listed to what they belived.

Why they believed it.

And I researched it and understood it. Going deeper into it.

But I came up with my personal convictions while never demanding they follow mine.

My mantra remained ....

Quran With Ornament
Baptismal Font

All life matters.

And I have been wrong before, I will be wrong again, and that will be okay.

I accept that others can be right.

I allow them to chose for themselves what that truth is for themsleves.

The differences add spice to our lives

But for sure I am still stuck indoors... though it is worse

I am stuck mostly in bed. My husband also got sick. He is in bed with me. My poor dog is stuck inside that means too. Sorry Sir Chewy no decent walks at all.

Poor Sir Chewy I don't think he is doing well either.

But hey I feel a little better today then yesterday. Each day it's a bit easier.

And every time I sleep we have more material.

I wrote nine novel arcs this month in great detail.

....

WAIT A MINUTE!!!

You are stuck in bed how did you write arcs?
Man Walking Outdoors

There was a time I was no longer able to run....so I walked.

There was a time I was unable to walk so I crawled.

Baby Crawling Carpet

And then when I couldn't walk I used my voice.... so how did I write them stuck in bed?

Voice Assistant Interaction

I talked

It is genuinely a miracle voice to text as I get so much more writen. It stinks for fantasy terms which is why it is narrative arc writing.

And thus how do you survive being in bed. You look what you can do rather than what you can't.

Even though I really feel awful about letting so much drop. But I focus that I am not in a race to finish what I planned to do. I have so much in me to write that it doesn't matter that the project changed, the fact is I still strived to do what I can. That is what is important. but hey 8/23/2026 finally we had enough strength to update our what's on deck page. Maybe, tomorrow we will have more strength.

Just Remember

It's Okay to Fail.


It's Okay to do something different than you planned.

It's Okay to need an extra step or device to get you there.

Remember last month what I said.

Artist Working in Atelier

I am not perfect

But I am working at it

That also means at times you focus on a different task when your recovering.

See you next month if I cannot find the strength to do more on the website.
