My elderly dog has decided that waking me up (and keeping me up) at 3 AM is a fun new game. This, after a month of travel and helping a friend move followed by a week of high stress with Rob's cardiac event, plus keeping up with my regular work at job and home. In short, I'm tired! So let me just be straight with you.

This week has been the week of insurance, and it’s not been especially good. Our primary insurance is getting us “discounts” on Rob’s hospital and medical bills, but not paying anything until we cover our (very high) deductible. Our secondary insurance will cover some of it, but we’re still not sure how much. Then, our housing insurance for 2024 has doubled (yay, Florida).

Vern wishes to know why

more people aren’t buying this one.

If you’ve been thinking about buying one of my books, doing so this month would be a big help for us. If you still need to buy something for someone, you know my books are great reads, but my journals are also neat stocking stuffers and are for recording the good things in life to contemplating Scripture. I even have one for job hunters to track their efforts.

Check out my books!

Don’t want books? Check out the designs on my Redbubble store. They’re awesome for Vern, Space Traipse, or Neeta Lyffe fans, but the Trekker in your life will enjoy the Rock-Paper-Scissors-Redshirt-Alien design or “Stun First! Sort it out with the Captain Later.”

Check out my merch!

Don’t worry about us; God always comes through. But I have made a lot of products in my career, and it’d be nice if they generated some income to get us through this. Plus, they’re fun for you! So please check out my website for the books and my store for the items, and thank you!
