July

1. I completed two sets of edits and began work on another author’s edits.
2. I began reading the Burn entries.

Health-related:

1. I underwent two more infusions of Keytruda, this month. I felt fatigued for a couple of days afterward, but no worrisome side effects.
2. I restarted the targeted immunotherapy, Lenvima, but dropped to an every other day dosage due to side effects. I’m tolerating the dosage better than the daily. I’m still fatigued, but not quite as much, and the diarrhea has subsided somewhat.

Happiness-related: 

1. I’m currently visiting my sister for a small vacation!
2. I continued my participation in #the100dayproject. I have just one more piece to finish my commitment. Here are a few small pieces I completed in July:

August

 

For work-related, I plan:

1. To finish reading the Burn submissions and announce the lineup for the next anthology!
2. To finish writing Ignition! Again—no excuses! This will complete the Delta Fire series, my erotic firefighter stories. The book will be out by the end of the month!
3. To begin work on Built Like Mack, the next story in my We are Dead Horse series.
4. To complete working on the edits I have for one author and await the arrival of two other editing projects to start working on.

For health-related, I plan:

1. To continue to focus on recovery! Rest when I need to, and some light exercise—housework and swimming (when the pool pump gets repaired!!!).
2. To endure another immunotherapy session this month.

For happiness-related, I plan: 

1. To spend time what little time we have remaining of the summer break with the family. We have plans for more fun meals, movies, flea market shopping, back-to-school shopping, and lots and lots of swimming.
2. To complete #the100dayproject and create more art.
