One of the things I started last year after the death of my old dog was to open my home and foster dogs from the local Humane Society. So far, I’ve taken in three dogs, and all three were adopted! I took a break during December, but after returning from my trip, I decided it was time to go get number 4!
Meet Missy B!
Well, it took several hours of tinkering, because WordPress is about as stable and well put together as wet tissue paper, but I can now update with my mobile device. This will allow me a little more versatility when managing this place.
I’ve also started my new project of transferring Facebook memories I wish to keep onto this site. I’ve got reminders to check every day that I can, and I’ve set aside some time every week to work on this site. My hope is to get all of Maq #041 uploaded and readable by the end of the month.
Keep checking back! We’re going to be updating way more often nowadays!!
New year, new goals! My hope is to start updating here more, so that I can have a place on the internet that is mine and not social media. This is my home, where I’ll keep all the things that mean something to me.
Yes, I know! Somehow, after all this time, I’m still here. With the recent issues with various social media sites (ie just about ALL OF THEM), I felt it wasn’t a bad idea to start working on my personal site again. While not the best for mobile use nor the most elegant of sites, it’s mine and isn’t at risk of getting wiped out because some random billionaire gets bored and thinks its funny to destroy the social media site I’ve been using for years to showcase my art,writing, and personal thoughts.
So what’s new? Not too much. I’ve been very, VERY slowly adding a few new blog posts with pictures from my Facebook memories, since I don’t really use Facebook much anymore. However, there’s decades of information there I’d rather not lose, so my hope, for the new year, is to log in every day if 2024 and transfer over whatever images, memories, or blog posts I feel are important to preserve. With luck, if I can keep up with it, I’ll be able to completely close down my Facebook and never use it again. Its gotten so bad lately that I’m actually missing Live Journal and MySpace.
As far as site content, I’m sure long-time visitors of my work have noticed a stunning lack of any artwork. This year, I think I’ve doodled maybe five pieces, and finished NONE. Artwork just isn’t happening anymore, and I’ve made my peace with it. Maybe someday I’ll draw again, but until then, I’m content to just write. As far as writing goes, my series are still going! A Daedra Named Desire is on short-term hiatus while I plan out the final act, and I’ve got a new romantic comedy about the biblical apocalypse gone wrong. Be on the lookout for the first draft getting posted real soon!
So fostering has gone well. Maybelline, Buddy (now Koda), and Autumn (now Kirby) have all found forever homes!
I also managed to write par every day for Nanowrimo.
November was a good month! Let’s hope December goes as well!!
She’s hard to get pictures of, since she’s running everywhere and sniffing everything, but say hello to our newest foster dog, Autumn!!
Time to meet our new foster! His name is Buddy, and he is a gentle, sweet, living old man. 8 years old, and mellow, he’s been busy sniffing through the house. Here’s hoping we can get this good boy into a forever home soon!
Update: As of 11/14/2023, Buddy was adopted and his name changed to Koda!
Went to take nap. Was joined by this snuggle bug.
And because photos don’t do her justice:
I can’t get over the way she sprawls out! Such a sweet girl! She’s a lover of cuddles and kisses, and wants to be pet so much!
Meet Maybelline! Very sweet bully who loves people! She’s up for adoption through the Humane Society of Delaware County.
