Showed my daughter this movie tonight. She loved it. We talked politics and compared it to what is happening in the world today.
Very good movie, even better graphic novel.

I shall go it alone then.
If anything the last few years of grief, rejection, abandonment, and neglect have taught me, it is this:
I am capable of anything I put my heart and mind into. That I am kind and gentle, intelligent and interesting.

My favourite Halloween album.
Mixing thrash and hardcore, these guys developed their own genre: splatter rock, or horrorcore. Starting in the mid-80s.
The character, Martha Splatterhead, is their recurring monster, back from the dead to take vengeance on criminals.

O.M.F.G. It's a snowball rolling down a hill.
Spoke with a legitimate media company today that wants to enter into a 'Shopping Agreement' to pitch my book to film & TV producers. I did all my scam checks and it really seems legit. No money upfront, real employees, etc.
Looking for a lawyer now!

Hmm, I think I might need a #literaryagent.
Things are moving too quickly in a world that I'm not familiar with.
I've just received two offers from film agencies with interest in my book. This is out of my bounds.
This, on top of the deal happening in Portugal, I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed.

So, we're applying for our daughter to go to a private school. We believe that she will excel there as the schools here are not adequate for her needs. This letter shows why. It's the first of 3 letters coming.
It brought tears to my eyes. I knew she was an incredible kid, but it's still moving.

Putting in a heat pump this year to offset the heating bill. Installer says he needs a 4x4' concrete pad to put it on.
Of course, since the snow is about to drop, all the concrete companies are booked solid.
I'll do it myself!
Not complicated, but still pretty proud of myself.
