Bearkeep, I need a drink. Yes, I'm well aware it's 7 am my time. But I have had excruciating pain that I determined is a tooth issue under a crown. (it was hard to differentiate that from sinus pain for a day or two). I called the dentist yesterday and they can't see me until Tuesday morning. 😳😢 So I'm thinking maybe some of that alcohol will help numb it a bit.

Life has been kicking me in the ass. But I keep getting back up. Sorry I've been MIA recently. But I think I'm back. I miss all y'all way too much to stay away for too long. 🥰

Hugs for Kimmi. Alzheimer’s is an evil thief. There is no getting better. And you lose your loved one over and over again. 😞😢

Standing in Line at the bank. At least money is involved.

Broadway Show or Mount Rushmore?

Scorpion. I ate one in Shanghai a dozen years or so ago.

Alaskan Cruise or Hawaiian Holiday?

Not Lion too...that makes four people I liked/cared about/loved I've lost this year. Gonna be too quiet here now without him. To say 2026 has broken me would be an understatement.

Hugs

I'm working on a Monster story. It's VERY out of my comfort zone, but I'm trying to write at least two stories in every genre.

We shall see how this goes...

A fitting end to Remember September: Safe In Your Arms

While not wanting to intrude on Carl's memories, I do have one, well, actually two, cheerful pieces of news. This morning, my youngest daughter and her husband gave birth to twin boys. 😊 So, I am now officially a grandad! 😳

Congratulations! Way to start out the grandad role with double the trouble (and fun). ❤️❤️

So three weeks is - I’ve been forgotten?

I do not see a story from you in the queue. Check your draft folder to make sure you clicked on Publish.

Carl was a wonderful man and a kind, supportive friend. No words can express how much I'm going to miss him. I will miss editing stories for him. I'll miss our fun, flirty conversations and our respectful, more serious discussions. And I will miss his genuine friendship. He was always genuinely happy for Kevin and me. His last words from our last chat were: "I truly love you both."

RIP, my majestic friend! Sláinte.

I'm lucky to have known Carl. He was a wonderful friend and a delightful conversationalist. I will miss so many things about him.

Rest well, my majestic friend. Sláinte.

I am writing a love poem for StoriesSpace since it's been ages since I published anything there (or even logged on). It was originally meant for Lush, but it's far too tame.

As for my not-so-tame stories, I'm working on a bunch of different pieces (I call it pinball writing) simultaneously. I am making it my goal to actually finish something today. It's a crapshoot which story it will be.

I do have some ideas for a few spooky stories that I'd like to get started for next month. We shall see.

Take Me Now tells the story of a man's delightful welcome home after being on the road and does so in 100 words. 😘

Hiya, Rumpies.

I need a hug or three. Dad’s had worst weekend to date. The Hosparus nurse came this morning. She said Dad’s experiencing terminal agitation now. It’s unbearable to watch. We’ve all decided to stop all meds and put him on liquid morphine. We were told he might not get out of bed again now. 😢 It’s been awful to watch the Devil’s disease — Alzheimers — steal Mom and now Dad’s dignity, comfort, independence.

I have not let myself grieve my best girlfriends, bf, parents who have passed in the last 7 years, and will need time once Dad passes to fully grieve, get myself together, and restart my life.

Love you all! ❤️

Hugs! As many as you want/need.

I hate this for you. Alzheimer's is indeed the Devil's disease. It's a cruel and vicious bitch. Just know that I am here if you need anything. Love you, girl!

I've got another micro for you today.

Delicious Arousal is a true story - short and to the point. 😘

I have 8 more genres to complete the non-existent Double Omnium. I have all 8 stories started. Now I just need to finish something. 🤣

Happy hump day all y'all. 😎

Busy day but I hope to get some writing done in between appointments. 🤞

Congrats to the winners and runners up. And to all who participated in Kimmi’s fun challenge. 😎😎

Sorry I couldn’t think of anything this time around. Can’t wait to see who the winners are!

Always Him is a tribute to my amazing lover, husband, and best friend. And yes, he’s all the same guy and he’s all that and more. ❤️

Hugs, Kimmie.

I wish we knew for sure Lion’s status. On heavy pain meds, maybe he just can’t log on or use his phone. 😢 I hate not knowing. He said a friend of his was going to contact one of us when he passed.

He was too young… 😢

I keep checking for obituaries and none so far. But I bet he’s reached the point where logging on is more than he can handle. My heart hurts. He’s been such a dear friend.

Now that I finally finished Three Bourbon Slushies and a Beached Mule, I will work on finishing Boardrooms & Boudoirs, as well as tinkering with the last 8 categories I need to have at least two stories in each genre. 😎

Three Bourbons And A Beached Mule - A redhead walks into a bar…

Good morning, all y’all. Just got home from the gym. Next up: writing, then swimming, then modding. 😎🤗

Quote by JamesLlewellyn

I'm just going to set out some glasses and leave a bottle of Jameson's on the bar.

Anyone who feels the need – take a shot.

It's on Ping's tab.

I don't even drink Jameson's but Imma gonna have a shot.
