Beautiful day - weather warm and windy after hurricane passed by with no rain at all, slight sprinkling tonight. Bright clear skies today here in W Massachusetts. I'm doing well, busier as you can tell, and have little time to get on buddies' journals and I see likewise. I just journal now to keep me on track and will continue to do it. My books are in an old computer and need to be transferred into this computer - my sister will no longer be the primary person I rely on. I have waited at least over two weeks to try to get the books she has emailed back to me she has on her computer. I will have people who are social workers at a program/class who are state workers take over the duties. I will take classes with them also. I can not rely on my sister if I have to meet a serious deadline, she won't answer her phone, and when she does blows me off. I need someone else as a back-up in an emergency and she has proven unreliable in this regard. What if she had information a publisher or agent needed? I would have lost possible contracts by now. Then my mom bitched at me for getting rides from friends instead of riding the bus, I told her when she moves if she's on a bus route (I'm sure she conveniently won't be), I'm sure she won't be riding the bus (especially when she has like a dozen people who will all take her everywhere for free). She has no clue how it is to go shopping on the bus, one has to go multiple times a week because they can't carry everything in two or three little bags... Anyway, I have changed a lot in the past month and will rely a lot less on former friends who are not friends, and relatives who haven't been in sight since Christmas, and whom I'm not seeing again this Christmas. They do well avoiding me so I can do likewise. Thanks all for letting me vent, I'm doing well with the dieting - up a bit on the calories yesterday, but not too much. I think long-term I will average 1500 until I get to my goal weight of 195 lbs. I have decided to have the social workers help me with the books and the computer as my neighbor Marge's son Ted - both of them are moving to W Pennsylvania within a month and Ted has helped me immensely with the computer lately. I will take classes in the coming months to become more proficient on it and learn how to navigate around and use programs and send things the proper way, etc...

Good Luck getting the books out of the old computer. That sounds like it should be a top priority for you. I hope you are able to enjoy the weather. Take care Glenn...

Hi info - my sister had them as back-up and emailed them back to me. However, Ted told me Windows 7 has no Microsoft Word but something else and I must get books on all this stuff and how to do it myself and also take some classes on the more complicated stuff. I know the basics. The books are done, the first two. And are historical fiction. I am getting used to typing on the laptop, loosin' suggested I get some dust remover air spray and I got it this evening. I must spend more time writing and typing it into the computer when I find out where it needs to go. I think within five to eight years I will be published. I will have so much work done by then, perhaps my life will be set financially after that, I do not need much to live of off. Once I know how to completely get around the computer there will be no need to stay in the USA and I imagine I will settle in Europe for at least a long while, I have been disappointed with the government and the veteran's administration, and I won't need them when I'm older most likely especially if I'm published and I will expose them for what they are. (The veteran's administration primarily and it's a branch of the government). Anyway, I am doing very well, the past month I have let go of toxic friends and two friends are leaving, and someone from my long ago past never now is someone I wish I ever knew now and it took me this summer to realize this - but things that don't make you weaker only make you stronger... :) Have a great weekend info...

Hi Glenn, so sorry I have been absent. I have to admit I have missed you a lot. It takes a lot of time these days to stop in everyones journal and I just simply ran short. I have tried to jot an entry in my own daily, but it was hard to stop by others. I see you are doing well and glad to see you have taken a stand and are guiding you life the way YOU want and not the way others want. Good for you. So you never got the back-up from your sister? or was it your computer - I got confused there. I see your chart is going down, good job. 1500 calories isn't much for a tall guy like you are. You don't want to compromise your metabolism. If you eat too little, you may not lose either. Are you feeling good these days? My shots in the knee have not held up. I can walk OK, but bending the right knee cannot be done. I see the Dr. on Sept 8th, so I will mention this to him and see what he says. Glad that hurricane was not damaging. It never even gave us a thing except some ocean swells and a rip current. Well, sorry I have been absent, but will try to keep in better touch. I'm off on the 10th until the 20th for vacation. Doing home projects only. But at least I am not at work!!! Have a wonderful evening Glenn and take good care of yourself.

Hi NN - getting back a few days late on this - I just saw the post, anyway my sister did email me the books. I may have to buy Microsoft Office for like $300 as it is not in Windows 7 if my BIL cannot download his version of it... I hope to get an agent SOON. I have no one to send my work to. The first two DONE books are historical fiction. I think they will inevitably do well, better probably than I actually expect in time as they probably could both be made into at least TV movies. Otherwise the science fiction stuff is quite different and there are so many short stories and they are so original all I need is like one to be made into a movie and I will have a name of some stature and more easily sell books down the road...
