And here we are… Quite a while later… And I’ve been seriously MIA… So seriously in fact I STILL have YOUR episode I was last listening to on my phone that I haven’t been able to touch for so long… This world is so busy these days! My goodness. But I think it’s about to stabilize… Hopefully! And I will be back! Cheers, Jaime!

Thank you DW.

Almost halfway to the end.

Not quite halfway, but I'm in no rush (grin).

Thank you, Ann =)

Please tell coffee I was thinking about him this morning....been hanging out with his cousin, 'bad coffee'....always SO bitter.

But we take what we can get on some days, right?

Noooooo, not bad coffee! Run, run! LOL

I love coffee SO much, I often prefer the Trucker Stop 'goo'....and then thin it down with some milk.

Yeah.

I have it bad.

Happy Happy Birthday! To you AND your art of many forms!

Thank you, Lisa. =)

...I'll let the boys know you said 'hi'....

Tell them I'm drowning in work, but looking forward to hanging out again soon!

Drowning in work, eh?

Well, don’t let the paper cuts drag you under, young lady, been there meself.

One minute you're scribblin' runes of brilliance, the next you're trapped under a mountain of deadlines and half-brewed tea!

I’ll also tell the boys you said hullo...but fair warning, Dax thinks “drowning in work” is code for avoiding his cooking. He’s threatening to bring over fermented jellyfish pudding just to check in.

Again.

Rest when you can, laugh when you can’t, and we’ll keep the kettle warm till you return.

...probably.

Unless Death drinks it all again.

That jellyfish pudding might help my nerves. But warn him, if he sets foot in here, he'll be put to work. ANYONE who comes near me gets put to work these days. I even have a note on my to do list: give a list of things to do to ___(author). Bwahahaha Give Death all the tea he wants! Keep him happy.

I was so excited about doing this video with you, I couldn't sleep (not to mention kids waking up through the night) I was so silly. "What should I wear?" "Oh my word, I need a shower! Wait...they can't smell me...but dad can. Okay shower it is." "I should wear socks. No one is going to see your feet, and your weird bowling pin like shaped toes." "Should I bring something to do?Draw...Crochet...Woodburning? " needless to say I didn't sleep a wink. Until I got to your house of course lol I thought to myself "Dad's getting up, I will just wait for him here." Then the cushions felt like fluffy clouds, and the blanket was a warm hug...then I woke up, and I had missed everything. 😂😭

I remember being so in love with your stories that anytime you updated your website or finished a new chapter I was right there on your office floor sitting at your feet, so mesmerized.

I remember waking up some nights from nightmares and going to your office where you were hard at work, just so I could fall asleep listening to you tapping away on the keyboard.

I definitely wanted to revisit those memories. I miss being your biggest fan that always got to read things before it was published, and encourage you. Your stories ARE awesome!

I'm glad we still got laughs about me asleep on the couch. I was still in the video, just not how I planned lol 😅

P.S. - I want a re-do.

NOTE: Jessie-bear gets a redo....WITH dad's hash browns included.

Jessie Lewis's avatar
