Various small things

Had a sweet dream the other day in that I won $200,000 at a casino. I was sort of hoping that it will be a prophetic dream. I sometimes have those. Actually, it was more like wishfulfillment. Is that one word? I was watching a game show the other night and for some reason my head fixed on $200,000. That would pay off my house, put a nice sum into retirement and get me a decent large screen TV. I don't want a gigantic 45" to 55" screen - something more like 36".

Did the proof reading of most of the pages for the companion issue for The Necropolis Chronicles. Yeesh! Found way to many errors for my tastes. So now I have to reformat those with the new corrections. Tedious stuff. I hate tedious stuff.

Think I finally settled on an image for the front cover. I was drawing up some various ideas. Nothing really struck me overall but I do like the last image I've decided on. It's tough because I know some people are going to say the book is a rip-off of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and I'm trying to avoid that. I stopped watching Buffy around the end of season 2 beginning of season 3 and only saw sparadic shows thereafter. I guess I got bored with the series.

I think I had the water waaaay to hot in my shower this morning. After I got out I was feeling all naseautious (spelling?) and felt like blowing chunks. Still draped in my towel I staggered to my bed and collapsed and laid there for 10 to 15 minutes. Now I pretty much feel okay. I was going to make today my 'busy' day in doing the grocery shopping, stopping at some hardware stores and other small tasks but maybe not now. We'll see after I finally put some food in my gut.

Oy. I sort of feel trapped in my house. My retired neighbor is out doing the leaves in his yard. There are two or three trees on my land barely feet of his that cover his yard with leaves. And he's a yard/lawn nut so he's always out there tinkering with his yard. Last year he mentioned he had no problem if I cut the trees done. Of course, he didn't offer a cent towards what would probably be over $1000 in cost to have the trees cut down. Hell, usually he asks/suggests buying some tools & equipment from him - almost always yard stuff. I don't hate the guy but I get annoyed with him.

Done.
