Malik was MUCH Worse Than I Thought
Nov. 2nd, 2012 12:35 pmHe's at the vet now for surgery.
He's almost 9 years old, so there are concerns.
He'd eaten this morning (yes, I told vet) so that's a concern.
I covered the first $200, just barely.
However, he must return to the vet every 3 days to be checked and have his dressings changed/etc.
That's $25/visit, and will probably entail 5 visits.
So, I'm trying to raise money, which means, of course, that I'm posting about it here on LJ.
It kills me to do this because I've done it so much in the past. (And everyone has always been so kind to help.)
This time, though, I'm not asking people to give me money.
If anyone can afford it, I'm asking if you can loan small amounts until November 15, which is the next time I get paid. I'm trying to raise $150 total, in case anything additional pops up. (That would give me $25 leeway.)
The morning of November 15, before I head out to work, I'll hit refund on Paypal and send your money back.
If Malik's issues had waited until next paycheck, I could have covered everything without breaking a sweat, but things never happen when it's convenient, so...here I am AGAIN, asking for help.
I thank everyone for reading. I super thank anyone who can loan. I promise the money will be back to your paypal account morning of the 15th.
And, I'd certainly appreciate any good thoughts for my big kitty. I just want him to be okay.

New Book by a Viable Paradise XV Grad
Oct. 6th, 2012 04:21 pmIf you're a friend of
blairmacg, then you've already seen this, however, I'd like to boost the signal myself, here, too.
This is a lady I attended Viable Paradise with and I've beta read this book, as well as future episodes of the story.

The saints favor her, else-wise a peasant girl like Kate Carpenter would never be apprenticed to the kingdom’s master healer. But her patron saint also marks her ready for the duty of tending to a mission that must cross the ice-bound mountains. Their little kingdom faces invasion by a vast empire and desperately needs allies; across the snow-filled pass, through the deathly thin air, is a country that’s held off the empire and may be willing to lend an army.
Kate knows about frostbite and the everyday injuries of wilderness travel. She can heal those.
She’s not ready for the attentions of a ne’er-do-well knight and the kingdom’s only prince, though.
And she isn’t ready for the monsters that harry them night and day, picking off their archers first, wearing the party to exhaustion, pushing Kate beyond the limits her healing abilities.
She must keep them alive, or her blood will be on the snow too.
If you'd like to read a sample of the book and learn how to win a copy, you can check it out here: http://discipleofthefount.blogspot.com/

Good Morning, LJ!
Dec. 13th, 2010 05:51 amI am upright this morning. That's a good sign.
I have a chest aching cough. Not the kind I usually get, but I'm sucking on a cough drop in hopes of holding off coughing as long as possible.
Got the Charter folks coming today (hopefully) to set me up with their broadband and phone. Boys will take care of that while I'm at work.
Hope to get some writing done, though I'm not sure my brain cells are firing on all thrusters yet.
If not, I'm going to put together the new story in either plot point/outline form or synopsis form and see how I like what I've got.
Then I'll set about planning for the next pass.
All in all, better than yesterday, when I was flat on my back 85% of the day.

Ladies and Gentlemen
May. 16th, 2010 09:03 pmI'd like you to meet Lilli.
( The Beauty That is Lilli )
Isn't she beautiful?
That is Lilli. Connie captured her perfectly.
Her armor is lovely and the detail on her helmet is absolutely amazing. Not to mention the spear. I adore the spear, too.
I actually adore everything about it.
So I'd like you to meet the artist.
Her name is Connie Tran and her LJ handle is
iidx_girl.
Connie, you're AMAZING.
Thank you so much again for giving me the image of a character I've had in my mind forever.

Your challenge is to write crossover fanfiction combining Futurama and The Simpsons.
The story should use brainwashing as a plot device!
