1.8 Centimeter “Irregularity”
Looks like I’m going back for more tests – a bone scan and a chest scan. They found an “irregularity” on the MRI and can’t rule out a carcinoma. It isn’t likely, but it isn’t impossible either. The area is probably just a nodule of hepatic regeneration; when a liver gets as bad as mine…
The Dentist, Tums and the Widow Maker
Been an interesting few days, oh few and faithful. I know quite well that the best laid plans of mice, men and salamanders oft go astray, but somehow I continually fail to take that into account. Here is a summary of this past weekend. My six-month regular dental appointment was 8:45am Saturday. I like to…
Clarification
Nothing in the above entry was hypothetical except for the transgressor choking on some Cheesy Poof equivalent. Unfortunately. It takes me longer to back out of a parking spot when someone is vulturing for it because I don’t want to hit them or anything else. I’m far less nervous about backing out when the coast…
Today: Winter
The weather forecasters called for rain beginning overnight, turning to snow mid-afternoon. At 7:30 this morning it was raining. At 9:00 this morning it was snowing. *sigh* I suppose it was mid-afternoon in Europe, anyhow. The view off my deck at 9:30am and 2:00pm. Notice how far down the branches of the oak have been…
I’ve got a bad feeling about this.
I made an eBay purchase on December 23rd. I made a rare exception to my ordinarily hard-and-fast rule of never to buy from anyone with any bad feedback, and purchased from someone who’d had problems historically but seemed to be doing OK now. I’m a realist, and I know there are some psycho-nut cases out…
Resolving the eBay dilemma.
Well, I thought about my little experience with Mr. I’ll-promise-to-ship-in-ten-days-or-less-but-won’t-really-ship-for-a-month. To be honest, I did get my package, I did get a response to my email even if said response was a bit loopy, and I did get the merchandise at a very reasonable price. So what doI want to give the guy negative feedback…
"On the day Agnes died…" Is this Nadia? The name threw me for a loop when I thought another character was being introduced.
I like it though!
Alli
I was going to make the same comment as Alli….
I also enjoyed it! I don’t know that I could have done that. I tend to ramble on and never get to the point. Great job!!!
Megan
I liked it too! It drew me right in.
Damnit, still can’t access your friends only entries :(.
Ah, those ARE a lot of constraints!
AND having to name the characters in meaningful ways…. could set me off into the looney bin.
I ALREADY have a hard time naming in my stories….
But it’s true, writing to parameters DOES make you stretch. Paramiters? Paramaters?
Specific requirements! There!
Hope you get a good grade.
Very nice. Well done. I like the name Nadia. My bf’s father died of Leukemia. Some rare form not discovered until it was much too late to do anything about.
Best of luck with your writing class!
I too liked it, however it does not "feel" you are writing this.
I love your usual style…long, rambling and stops along the way about all the little interesting facts you normally *ramble* about.I love it when you stop us readers in mid sentence to smell the roses.
I was left feeling *I want more*. Does that make sense? Sort of got the bread without the filling.
I echo what Elf said.
