Over the Edge?

It was another week of struggling with the abscessed tooth. It's doing better, although I'm almost out of antibiotics. I feel better than I have in a while. My next appointment is Feb 7, which seems like a long way off.

I may have hit a snag on the trial account. I'm up for the week. It was a better week than the past two weeks. However, I dipped a few dollars($7, I think) below a money level that is supposed to end the trial with a fail, regardless of whether the trade works. Howeverer, I haven't received an email about it, and the trade ended in profit. I'm not sure what's going to happen, but it looks good so far. If they waive the slight infraction, I'm feeling cautiously optimistic that I'm almost past the point where that won't be happening again. The worst case scenario is that I'd have to start over. I'd be okay with that. I've been considering it anyway. In the meantime I'm hanging in there, trying to reach the target goal.

On the writing front, if I still feel better this coming week, I'm planning to get something positive done. I almost did this week, but the night I wanted to I didn't have enough time for the long session of going through the SF book that's been resting that I needed. I need to do a complete read through of it in one go if I can. Or I may just work on the next B'vellah War book.

Have a great weekend.

Abscess

There's not much of note this week. I went to the dentist where I found out I had an abscess. I'm on antibiotics but still tired. It's affecting my system. The tooth will probably have to be pulled. I'm not a fan of that, but it would never bother me again.

I usually watch television at dinner. Roku recommended a show to me I remember watching when I was little. I wish I could tell you what year the first season aired. It's about five years earlier than it seems like it should be. How do I remember a show from that far back? Seeing the date kind of made me feel old. I wish I could tell you what it was, but then you would think I was old. You don't need to think that.

I made some very slight progress on the Forex front, though I'm still far from my price target. The market seems to be behaving itself better than in December. I may end up having to start over with a new trial basis. Hopefully, this next week will be a breakthrough week, and I'll feel better.

Have a great weekend.

Pro-Democracy Demonstrators?

I took a break toward the end of December. This week has been trying to get back into the swing of things. There's still no movement on the broadband front. There was minimal movement on the Forex front, although I ran across a video that explains that most professionals don't trade in December and that even the first part of January is dangerous territory. It didn't specify what is considered the "first" part of January. I was up for the week, but I'm nowhere near the price goal.

On the writing front, I had an idea the other day for the middle grade trilogy. Without giving away spoilers, it solved a problem I've had since the beginning. It was a major step in the process. Of course, that project has to come behind Messengers stuff. Still, it's good to have it figured out. The next step would be to put all the ideas together, including the new one, and brainstorm the remaining details into a coherent whole.

I had a bad sinus infection and a bad tooth on top of it. I've been so tired and not getting enough sleep. My dental appointment is Monday. I should feel better after that.

Remember the January 6th event from last year? If it had happened in a foreign country, the media would have called it a pro-democracy protest or a pro-democracy demonstration. It's amazing how the tune changes with politics. A good rule of thumb: rednecks taking selfies in the Capitol is not a riot much less an insurrection. It's rednecks taking selfies, and that's all. Marxist revolutionaries burning down cities and taking over parts of cities to declare independence from the U.S. is rioting and insurrection. See: dictionary.

Have a great weekend.
