This morning I cuddled with Susan, then we got up about 6:30 am at Lilly's insistence. I had coffee, a banana, and a mini-honeybun.

I welcomed several new members to my "Apps, Proofreading, Websites" Facebook group, and also did a nice Featured Author post starring Lisa R. Hall's novels Girl Found and Wendy. Already proofreading related, I got a "Thanks, man!" from J. N. Chaney for purchasing his tetralogy that begins with The Amber Project. Doesn't hurt to tip the hat to the man who has, so far, paid me $700 to proofread novels to prep them for publishing under his branding.

Here's a photo of dad, Paul Bertram Miller, taken in September of 1997. He was 60 years old at this time:

Our new TR enrollment is 15. Hopefully this will aid us in meeting our direct-time requirement.

Hopefully, if the weather doesn't change, I'll be jogging this afternoon. It's supposed to be overcast but 60 °F. It's been three weeks, today, since I last jogged. I got that UTI, then I was covered up for several days with a pair of lucrative proofreading jobs. So, just an easy pace to burn calories.

Then this evening, while Susan sits with her dad, I need to discipline myself to practice my lines for the Christmas skit.

I've updated the name and site pic of my Facebook group. It's now "Apps, Proofreading, Websites" at the following URL: https://www.facebook.com/groups/AppsProofreadingWebsites. I went to fiverr and re-downloaded the voiceover video advert I had made months ago, and uploaded that video to my little corner of FB and LinkedIn. I also put it on my website homepage, along with a bold link beneath it on the homepage redirecting visitors to my FB Group page.

I closed a client from TR today. Our new enrollment is 15. Hopefully this will aid us in meeting our direct-time requirement.

In this picture, Bobo (Paula Miller) and two of my nieces, Katie and Lauren, are stopping for a snack on the way home from Toledo, Ohio, after Mikayla's (my oldest niece) wedding. 2016? 2017?

Slept from 4am to 9:30 am, after we got home from rescuing H.

This is my father, Paul Betram Miller, at age 22 in 1959 while in Memphis, Tennessee in the Navy.

Well, it's 4:09 pm. I've received the HDD enclosure and puzzles for clients that I ordered from Amazon. I've installed a 750 GB 3.5" drive, twiddled it with Partition Wizard, and now have it attached to my HP computer. I'm currently copying Macrium Reflect backups for three separate PCs to it. I've also copied blog images and my Proofy proofreading app files to it, as well as a large directory of work-related files and subdirectories.

We have play practice in less than an hour. Not really a play. More like a series of skits and monologues that tell the Christmas story. Mom wanted to go eat Mexican; I told her Tues/Wed/Friday would be possibilities.

The foregoing photo was made in the early 1950s and shows my paternal grandparents on the bottom row and — left to right (from camera perspective), my paternal uncle and my father.

Also, this afternoon, I replaced the batteries in my wireless mouse and keyboard connected to my ThinkCenter PC.

I emailed C. E. Wade, i.e. "Chuck", a former trooper turned security-consultant whom mother met during her last gal-pal trek cross-country. He'd told her he wanted to publish a book, and she informed him one of her sons did proofreading work. We'll see if I get a nibble.

This morning, I need to finish the last 12K words in Blackout Rogue then submit to Jennifer See for conveyance to the author. She and I had a FB Messenger discussion about the novel last night.

Later, when it warms to a bearable 40+°F, I'll go to Bobo's and clean her geothermal filter and visit a bit.

Here's a pic of our church more than ten years ago, taken in March of 2009:

Here's a picture of my wife, Susan Brummett Miller, and my mother-in-law, Barbara Wesley Brummett, taken in August of 2017:

Rough week. Friday, Pam and I did a written reprimand and PIP on KS. She was defensive and offensive in the interview. I'm not the man JS was, because I've not been doing the dishes. So I did pots and pans Friday.

Anyway, I hate this kind of work stress. The personal/personnel kind. I can handle work-load/paperwork stress much easier. S was concerned about me last night because I put the dogs to bed at 7:40 and was in bed reading at 8pm. She gave me my testosterone shot about 8:30 pm and asked while we were reading if I was okay. I explained yes, just tired from work-stress, all the proofreading load recently, and recovering from the UTI.

I'm 28% into my current Variant Publications proofreading job, which is around 193K words total. Today, I will also work more on Tracie Sharpe's dissertation proposal.
