I need to get back to writing. I’ve been slacking. I feel like I’m in a rut again. I have to break through and just do it. I didn’t have the drive to do anniversary reviews. It will all change however. lol.
Church was good. The sermon was titled Milk vs Meat. He emphasized how people who have been Christians for a long time should be eating the deeper things of the Word. Pastor Jimmy taught out of Hebrews chapter 5. In the book, Paul was addressing one of the churches I think. I skimmed over the preceding chapters quickly and also the chapter itself. So I’m not sure. Nevertheless, the message was delivered.
Ricky was a no call, no show this morning. He’s never done that before. I texted him and he said he stayed up really late. He sounded a little distant. I hope he’s okay. He may go to the evening service.
In other news, I called my buddy down the street. He’s training to be a crane operator. It was a short call but I did ask if he wanted to go to church with me one of these days. He responded with a yes but it sounded tentative.
I still need to combine all my chapters into a single file. It’s been a while since I called Laura Leaders. I may try calling again.
I feel like crap now. Lord help me break free. I want to get back on my game already. Got to persevere. I want that joy I used to have with writing.
My mom and I are going to a Mexican Grill called Rubio’s and pick up some food. Their food is healthy and delicious. Jim and my mom like the veggie burrito. It’s actually pretty good. I like the chicken burrito. Jim gets off at 7:15. My mom and I are leaving before he gets home so he can have a good meal when he arrives.
My bro gets six figures from work. He works in computer software.
Well. I’m going to write. Goodbye.

Something funny and weird happened today. There was this intermittent beep which happens when one of the smoke alarms needs a battery change. I put up the tall ladder for Jim to see the highest alarm and check it out. At first we thought it might be the one in the hallway as well. So, I checked the alarm in there and found it was hardwired and had a battery. Then suddenly there were two separate beeps. Then my mom had an epiphany; she thought it might be the carbon monoxide detectors that just plug into a socket. She unplugged them and the beeping ceased. Phew! Then she plugged them back in and there was still no sound. So we don’t know what happened. lol.
Jim is working a six hour shift at Albertson’s. He gets off at 8:30.
I love typing! That’s why I’m so eager to start transcribing. I am still a little slow however at it. I’ll get better though. lol. I pays about five bucks an hour. That means if I do four hours a day I’ll make $20 a day. If I multiply that by seven that would be $140. If I multiply that my four that would equal $560. The transcribeMe representatives say people move up fairly fast. Hopefully, that is true. Now the info that I got this from was from a separate site critiquing and evaluating the company. They did say it is not a get rich quick deal. But the site did say you’ll do well if you are good at being a transcribing or of you enjoy it. My motivation is after the latter. I really think the Lord will help me. It will be cumbersome at first, but that may be with all jobs.
My mom found this dude who claims the world standard monetary unit will fluctuate away from the dollar. This, he claims, will come with the new year. Inadvertently, the value will of the US dollar will be cut in half. However this fear of the dollar losing value is nothing new. But who knows; maybe that day will come.
In other news, a new drug that has apparently cured a case of cancer, has been brought to light. Our wonderful president has ordered that all pharmaceutical companies use the substance. But the mainstream media will try to keep this occurrence from coming to national forefront. Yet it is inevitable.
Me, my mom and Jim watched God’s Not Dead 3 last night. It was a great movie. I recognized one actor who was very good in the movie. And to those who don’t know of the preceding movies, they are Christian films. I think the main protagonist who was in a movie played a role in Malibu Dan. I saw a snippet of the movie on a Pureflix add when I was on YouTube listening to music.
Chad is on the phone so I will bid thee ado.

It’s been another good day. I didn’t go to the gym though. I hit the PS4 for about twenty minutes. Then I did my laundry. Right now Jim and my mom are going to some place concerning Jim’s retirement plan.
I did my two anniversary reviews today - both poems. lol. One of them was a fantasy poem of sorts that told a brief summary of a story. I told the author I thought it could easily be a story.
Chad is on the phone. Goodbye.

Today has been good. I only got three hours of sleep but the coffee did its job. Lol. I’ll be shutting down sooner than usual – maybe around 7:30. I did my two anniversary reviews and wrote for a little under an hour. I’m still trying to be faithful with my writing. It’s been three days or so that I’ve written in a row.
Ann and I texted for a fairly good amount of time. She said her Christmas gathering was small. She got a plethora of nice gifts including $400 in cash! And she still has gifts coming in the mail. I asked if she was off and she said yes. I then made a joke and said I was off too; I have no job. she answered and said “That’s disappointing.” lol. Then she stopped texting me. I’ll try hitting her up in the morning. I would assume she works tomorrow so it will be a brief exchange of words if any at all. Nevertheless, I am talking with her via text for longer periods. I am just trying to draw her out and it looks to be working. I wouldn’t date her in a million years though; she has that snippy, choleric mentality. She is pretty though.
Dan will not be able to take me to church. It looks like I’m home.
My mom will be putting the Norton program on tonight.
Meanwhile, in the news, the US is half-way shut down. It all revolves around the wall that President Trump wants to make. I’m all for it. Lord willing, he will be getting a second term. I also pray for his salvation.
I did not hit the PS4 today. I was and then I changed my mind. lol.
I need to finish the chapter I began in my mom’s doc appointment. I have roughly five pages left.
I’ll try calling Laura Leaders, the woman who helped me before. I called her about a few days ago. I’ll call her again in a few days.
I went to Walgreens to get my meds. Myra was there. I was waiting for my triglyceride problem.
I tried to sweep the leaves in the driveway. The wind made it hard to do that. I did get a good amount of leaves though.
My mom and Jim are watching the news – or at least they were. Jim changed the channel to basketball.
I haven’t gotten any Facebook notification pop-ups. That’s good.
Well, that’s it for now. Goodbye.

Today has been good. I did two anniversary reviews and I wrote for an hour. I need to get back to my daily writing regimen. I have resolved to make all my fantasy to be reflective of Christianity and the Bible. Last night the group prayed over me about this and also for my book to be published and I won’t be afraid to fail at first. Lots of rejection is sure to come as with the vast majority of published authors. First, I must combine my files into one file with all the chapter titles intact.
I don’t think Electio Publishing will publish my novel. I really want to submit to the Christian online magazine Charisma. But I have to put all things into one file. I know it’s a matter of time until my story is published. I’m excited.
Ann and I texted for a short time. It would have been longer had I not failed to get back to her when she said something twenty minutes later.
Today is Christmas. We have done nothing. lol. And I couldn’t be happier. I just want some peace and quiet.
I only have a short time to write. It’s getting close to 7 P.M. Jim worked a seven hour today shift this morning. He was exhausted. He and my mom are watching a TV show now. I think it’s DC Universe. I don’t watch much TV anyway – just cartoons with my mom. lol.
I called Chad but got his voicemail. He may get back to me later.
It’s not bad out now. My phone says it 54 degrees out but it feels not so cold though.
Well, my time is up. Goodbye.

This will be very short as I am going to church at 6 P.M. I didn’t sleep very well last night so I did not go to morning services. My mom is taking me there and Ricky is taking me home. It’s been a while since I’ve gone to Sunday night service. Ricky is not picking me up because he had to be there by 4:30 P.M.
I wonder what will be taught tonight and who will preach the sermon. It will probably be Pastor Jimmy. He’s kind of a goofball at times. That’s one trait I like in him. lol.
Albertson’s has been running Jim ragged. I think he had two seven hour shifts the last two days. I hope he’s off tomorrow.
So I watched the last episode of Three Below. Well, I only watched half of it I think. I hope Netflix comes out with more seasons. But if my mom and I want to see them we’ll have to pay for more Netflix. My bro and his wife are not renewing their subscription. That means they can’t share it with us.
Well I have to go. Goodbye.

Today has been good. I watched some of Three Below, the second instalment to the Tales of Arcadia. I watched it with my mom. There are four episodes left to see. Jim is doing a late shift. He gets off at 8:45.
I did not go to the gym this morning nor did I do my laundry and mop the floor. Hopefully, Ricky is going to Lone Mountain tomorrow. I texted him about fifteen minutes ago. It’s now 5:10. If he doesn’t get back to me in an hour I’ll just assume he is busy. Then I’ll just ask if he can take me or not. lol.
A weird pop keeps showing up at the bottom right of my screen. It said something about drivers.
Tomorrow my mom and I will put on the new antivirus program. I went to the site for Norton but I wasn’t able to get what I needed. I went to the Norton home page and all I saw were packages made for five devises. My mom will help me.
So I’m still adjusting to the proper typing form. Like anything, it’s fun when I’m doing it right. I did no transcription drill ls today. God is showing me how to spend better time with my quiet times. I asked Him to give me a hunger for his Word. My walk is in need of improvement. lol.
My mom and I had leftover minestrone soup and fresh hot French bread for dinner. It was just as good in the microwave as the day before.
Poor, poor Chad. He has such great disdain for life. I was on the phone with him today. He said he doesn’t care if he goes to hell or not. I must keep him in prayer. He has so many health issues that can potentially lead to death – and he doesn’t care. My mom thinks this apathetic mindset is due to depression to some degree. He barely can pay rent to his brother. Chad keeps getting shorted hours at work.
At the present, it will take a few more months of typing practice before I take the TranscibeMe English test, so I can I can start making money already. It is tedious work I’m seeing from reviewers. But, like I said, I need to get better at typing. I’ll be fine as long as the audio is not fast like how quickly Chad talks. But practice makes perfect.
It’s been four days since I hit the PS4. I suppose that’s a good thing. lol.
There is still some time before Electio Publishing gets back to me. There are more places to submit but I have to combine my separate chapter files into one continuous file. I called Laura Leaders about the issue. She’s pretty good at getting back to me. She’s very nice too. lol.
So I told my mom about the paratransit thing. Chad wants me to visit in February. The place where he lives is very small – smaller than his mom’s house.
Well I have to go. Goodbye.

God is good! I had a real genuine quiet time with God. I’m trying to get closer to God now. It’s been a long time in coming. Now it may be a little time before I am in closer to Him. It may be kind of intense when it comes.
My mom is having a heart to heart talk with Jim about god.
Well I have to go. Goodbye.

As usual my day has been good. I did not go to the gym. I got up super late to like at 12:30 P.M.! Nimy slept in my bed again. lol. She’s so cute and lovable.
Jim is off from his second job at Albertson’s today. He’s watching The Voice with my mom. I don’t like singing competitions shows. Don’t get me wrong, the contestants have stellar voices. They just don’t hold my attention. Karl Kerby, a guest speaker at church about a week ago, likes it. I think Pastor Jimmy watches it too. I may be wrong.
I practiced my typing for about thirty minutes. I definitely have come better at typing than where I started. I think going for accuracy before speed is the key. I still want to get some typing software. There are some typing stuff online and a little bit of games. The Mavis Beacon program is not working. It may be due to being so old. lol. I might be not going to church. I left a text for Dan roughly an hour ago with no reply. If he can’t take me, I’ll ask Craig for a ride – if he is able to. His back went out on Monday. Bob had to take me to the meeting.
I’ll be buying a Norton anti-virus program in a few days. I have 8 days until the Kaspersky license expires. My mom said she thought she got Norton for about 30 dollars.
This Friday is the Downtown Calvary Outreach thingy. I may go. The last time I went, it wasn’t all that great. But who knows?
So I’ll be getting my second blood screening. I hope my blood levels are alright. I miss getting.
Dan got back to me; he’s going to church. Goodbye.

Today has been good. I did get up very late but it was mildly productive. I read for a little under an hour. I practiced my typing and I also wrote for about an hour as well. In the book, The Oath, the key element came out – the rumor of a dragon that eats people. It’s really enthralling. I’m on the fourth or fifth chapter.
Both my mom and Jim are in pain. Jim’s side is hurting but on the left side now. My mom is in pain from her constipation injection she gave herself. I think it has passed now though. Thank God.
Chad called when I was on my way to the store for a snack. He was on his lunch break. He called before but I was in the bathroom. lol.
So, I think my story is looking good. I’m trying to make it as close to me vision as possible.
So that dude from West Bow press called me a few days ago. He was hustling me to get on board with this deal that ends on Thursday. Once again, he was pushing for the online platform which is the 30 percent deal that ends Thursday. I am not even calling that dude back. lol. If Electio Publishing doesn’t get back to me, my story may not be ready.
I may start small and try submitting short stories first. I found a site giving twenty-three online magazines to submit to. In either case, I have to keep going and deal with rejection. This may be the first of many rejections. lol.
I’m sick of life. I want to be with Jesus already.
So, I didn’t hit the PS4 today. Good for me.
Once again, I will try the gym in the morning. I really want to go but I flake out. lol.
So at the Monday night meeting Bob, the instructor, said there was a tweet warning of a massive EMP.
Well, that is it for now. Goodbye.
