► Some good news and bad news came out of the 2012 Cincinnati Comic Expo for me. My friend John attended today, and sadly was unable to find any books or dolls let alone the ones on my list, and artist Robert Atkins apparently canceled his appearance at the last minute so John wasn't able to pick up the 2 drawings we commissioned for me. He said ( Read more... )

► For the past few days I've been going to bed very early as I seem to run out of steam in the early evening. I'm a lot better, but I'm still not fully over whatever it was I had last week (cold? flu? I have no real idea).

Because I went to bed early I didn't see the email artist Michael Powell sent me until this morning. As I mentioned a ( Read more... )

► Currently I'm in worried mood in regards to Stormy, again. He's had that odd pudding like stool again today and yesterday. For the first two months I had him he was fine, but 2 or 3 weeks ago he suddenly developed this pudding stool which lasted around 3 days before disappearing. He was then fine for several more days until it returned again ( Read more... )

► How can the apartment go from cool with a strong cold breeze coming in through the windows at 1:00pm, to stiflingly hot and humid 4 hours later? It's a conundrum. I slept through those 4 hours so for all I know there was a rogue band of potters working a makeshift kiln in our living room while I was unconscious. It could happen ( Read more... )

► I don't think I've been spending enough time with Stormy for the past week. Since Saturday when I try to pick him up and hold him instead of just making a whinny mewing sound he now actively struggles and flips in my arms to get away. Also he's becoming increasingly aggressive with clawing my bulletin board. His clawing the board is probably ( Read more... )

► Was Friday my second birthday and no one told me? Dad took me out to run errands, it being the start of the month meant I had to hit a lot of places. At the comic book shop I had a few things waiting for me that my friend Gene left for me. Gene gave two new tradepaperbacks (Showcase Presents All-Star Squadron and Showcase Presents All-Star ( Read more... )

► Tough night, took a nap around 4:00pm and woke up at 8:00pm feeling really ill and rundown. No doubt it's just from sleeping with the window open while the weather outside is cold and very damp. Moving about and drinking a couple of glasses of water should clear that up.

► Now that was a welcome surprise this morning. I opened my front door ( Read more... )

► My grandmother, Mum, was released from the hospital today. The endoscopy and another ultrasound didn't find anything, but the doctor's still think her upper abdominal pain is coming from her liver. My aunt told me she has an appointment in a month to see a specialist, and as of right now she seems to not be in immediate danger. I hope not.

► He doesn't read my journal, but Happy Birthday Dad!

► It's amazing how quickly you can go from perfectly fine to very sick. All last night I was fine, hanging out on the computer, when at 4:30 I decided to go to bed. After laying down for a bit I suddenly started to feel unwell and rushed to the bathroom where nothing happened. That is ( Read more... )
