If they get seen, it might be a miracle, but hey, I’m ready!
They’re there. And I was able to make my covers look kind of cool, too. Here's what one of them looked like:
I wanted the whole cover to show and Facebook’s photo
allotment only allows 1024 x 1024 pixels, which meant it would chop off part of
the cover. So I went to Canva and played around until I found templates that
worked (which was a chore in itself, let me tell you). For fun (or maybe
desperation—I wasn’t sure what was going to work), I used one of my moon shots
for the background. Wow! I thought it turned out pretty cool. So I pretty much swapped out the covers for each picture so they all looked the same.

Tomorrow, Daughter and I will be headed to Pittsburgh
Hmmm… I wonder if my jersey will fit OVER my jacket. And
yes, I have a jersey. #87 Crosby , what else?
Looking for a deal in some romance reads? My author friend Kristi Rose
has posted free or 99 cents first in series sales going on this weekend (or
through the month). Yeah, my book is listed, and there are bunches of others.
So if you like romance, this is something to go and check out.
Yesterday, Hubby and I met with the doctor who will conduct
(?) the chemotherapy. We got some surprising news. Hubby won’t lose his hair.
He’d been kind of prepping himself for that, so it was a nice surprise. All the
other crap (nausea, fatigue, loss of taste) was expected and not something he’s
looking forward to, but it’s only 8 weeks. 8 weeks is nothing. And then he’ll
get better. We just want it over with (and for the cancer to never return).
So… Got any fun plans this weekend? Or has the weather kept
you housebound? Have you ever played around with Canva? I’ve used it to make
the headers on my newsletter and Facebook page. You might want to look into it
if you do happen to be housebound this weekend. It’s not perfect, but so far
it’s been free for me, so I can’t complain.
Happy Friday!

No hair loss? That's great! Although it's not as devastating on a guy as it is on a woman.
You are going to have an awesome time at the game. Of course you have Sid's number. (I have Mario's.)
Glad you had display your books on Facebook. Sorry, not on Facebook, so can't really check it out.
Have an awesome Saturday!
Oh, my gosh, the weather was fantastic here the last couple days. We did a program for kids on winter recess yesterday in a state park and it was pushing 60 and sunny! Downsides? It was a winter themed program, so, yeah. Downside #2 is ticks are out. But what a day.
Did they delay the start time of the game? I will hope it doesn't rain, but I'm expecting the ice won't be in very good shape. Enjoy the game!
Good thing your husband didn't shave his head in anticipation of hair loss--when will he start the chemo?
Covers look great, btw. Love the background, it really suits the cover well!
It took me a while to notice the dark cloudy sky. I thought it was glare from my overhead light. :) If you ever need your cover resized, let me know.
re: hubby
The hair fallout is minor compared to the other stuff. I hope it won't be too hard on him.
He won't be hungry, but you've got to keep him eating so he doesn't lose too much weight or strength. Concentrate on high protein, high fat food. Carbs are well known to speed up the growth of cancer cells so minimize them when possible.
When one of my dogs came down with cancer, I stopped feeding her dog food and cooked her whole foods high in protein and fat. She beat cancer like a trooper.
Google cancer diets for more suggestions.
Alex - Yeah, Hubby joked that he thought he might save some money by not needing his hair cut for awhile. But I know he's secretly relieved.
Jeff - Right now chemo is due to start 3/13. We'll know more next week when he gets fitted for his mask (something they need to make so it holds him still during the process). As for the start time of the game, it's still scheduled for 8pm.
Maria - Hubby understands more than anything that he can't afford to lose any more weight (he lost 40 lbs last year). He pretty much went through hell last year with the feeding tube, something he does NOT want again, so that's a motivating factor.
