Still working

Never fear. I’m still here.

I’m buried in my first draft of Chapter Two. Writing it has taken me away from the blog a bit, but I think it’s a worthy trade-off. You get great blog items from Jim and Charlotte, while I work on writing a passable story.

Hope you’ll stick with me.


Sorry

Sorry I haven’t posted anything recently. An impacted wisdom tooth got infected and left me flat on my back. I think I’m finally on the mend, although I have an unpleasant date with an oral surgeon soon.

Dealing with this tooth issue has had me thinking about Jim and his family. (Of course, most things do these days.) I was worrying about the unexpected expenses of dental work and oral surgery and thinking about how much this problem has thrown my schedule out of whack when it occurred to me that the Chastains constantly have stuff like that to worry about.

How do you live anything resembling a normal life under the constant threat of massive medical bills? How do you make plans when you don’t know where you’ll be in a week or a month?
