Battling the nausea

Man may not be able to eat on bread alone, but when you’re battling nausea from cancer, getting down a roll is an accomplishment.

Meanwhile, I realized that I released an early version of Book 2 in my book series, so I’m retooling and renaming Book 3 to bring the two together. And then I might take a nap. When you have a headache, you don’t really want to read and there’s only so much TV I can watch before I ...

Stuck inside (again) with storms, heat and viruses swirling outside. Good news is that’s giving me plenty of time to serve up two mixes for the Fourth of July holiday weekend. … Looking forward to the wedding. Only today am I beginning to realize how huge it is. (Honestly, the only way I haven’t freaked out about it is to put it in the back of my mind and remember that paper covers rock.) Links TK (probably tomorrow).

I love my brother and I know that he’s the only person who is supposed to matter to me, but I do confess that I resent being trapped with no good choices.
