"Our remedies oft in ourselves do lie..." (All's Well That Ends Well)

I just browsed through my publisher's web site and I discovered that I've got $21 in royalties saved there for distribution at the end of November. Actually, I wasn't expecting even that much, but it is satisfying to know that some friends have bought my books. I really don't mind the sales count; I just like publishing my books. There will be another one in a couple of months. Perhaps it might interest you to know that I decide the value of royalties to a book. So, I just keep it to a couple of books...er bucks so that they will be affordable.

Friday, August 18

This day didn't start off well. Rh+ had such a bad night coughing that in the morning she was definitely Rh-. Her lungs have never been too great so she was concerned about pneumonia. We went to our doctor and he prescribed two kinds of anti-biotics and one for blood pressure. And he took a blood test. He really wanted to put her in the hospital. However, we went to another office where she had a chest x-ray. Now, all we have to do is wait for the results. Bummer. I hate when she's sick. I also hate when I'm sick, but I hate it worst when she's sick...as a matter of fact, the doctor just called with the test results and told her she does indeed have pneumonia. Worst bummer! (See, Baron is right up to the minute here). Now we'll have to wait and see what the medications and the nebulizer do to alleviate the problem. If it doesn't help, she will have to go into the hospital.
