UPDATE: The winner is…Mary McCoy!
*~*~*
My daughter has been busy making some fun pens for me and to sell. I think I’ll give one of the above away as the prize today. They are so cute! And they write really well! See the contest below!
And yes, I usually do the Report Cards on Sundays, but I had a guest yesterday!
Report Card
Last week…
- The big event was that I had my PET scan last Friday. I’ve read the radiologist’s report but my Google-MD degree needs my actual doctor’s interpreting skills, so I’ll let you know later what was said…
- I continued work on one author’s edits. I didn’t finish because she’s slacking giving me pages. Well, two broken wrists are a great excuse. *wink*
- I sent out the Call for Submissions for the next Boys Behaving Badly Anthology! It’s tentatively entitled Burn.
- I uploaded Once Upon a Legend to sites other than Amazon since it’s no longer in KU.
- The family and I watched Red One. Yes, it’s rather late for a Christmas movie, but we were looking for an action flick, and it fit the bill. I enjoyed it!
- The local art guild I belong to held their election. I’m VP of Programs now. 🙂
This next week…
- I meet with my oncologist this morning! I’ll hear his interpretation of my scan. Wish me luck! Then it’s straight to the chair to begin my first immunotherapy infusion. I hear it’s a lot easier on the body than chemotherapy, so I don’t mind one bit!
- I have two authors’ edits to work on this week. One to complete.
- This week, I’ll be diving back into finishing up Ignition! Okay, so I said this last week, but I mean it this time.

Actively praying that test results are the best outcome, ever. On a lighter note, it’s pretty awesome that your daughter has inherited her mom’s craftiness!

I hope your test results are for the best. Good luck!

Here’s to good test results!
Also, if you have Netflix and haven’t watched it yet, Carry-On would fit your action movie bill, too. The actor from the Kinsgmen movies is one of the two leads. It’s also Christmas, but mostly only because it takes place in LAX on Christmas Eve. 🙂

Theresa! Thank you for the good wishes. I’m a little nervous, but smiling helps with that. So, thank you again! And yes, my dd does have some of my talent. She just needs to embrace it a bit more. I didn’t start “arting” until I was nearly out of my forties. 🙂
Debra! Thank you!
Elizabeth! I loved Carry-On. It’s one of those I’ll rewatch during my Christmas rotation of movies!

Do well with your appointment today! 🤞🏼

Good luck with your infusion today, , I love pasta too, and making homemade chicken Alfredo, once I figured the Alfredo was so fast and easy homemade I have never bought jarred again
Comment
Eileen! Thanks!
Dana! I’ll have to give homemade Alfredo a try since I love it so much, too! And thanks for the good wishes.

Love the pens, they are cute. Your daughter did a great job on them.
Hope your infusion treatments go well. They had to stop one of the drugs they gave as it caused the neuropathy pain to increase where even the pain pills did not help. Hopefully yours goes better.
