Just a quick update to the goal progress. I just barely pushed over the 60% mark on the articles in 90% of the days. Not sure where the final numbers will lay... but quality of writing is important too!

Hmm I figure that to accomplish my goal of an article a day for a year I will have to write on average a bit over 5 articles a day...
That is 32 days left and I have written 202 of 365 articles = 163/32 = 5.09 articles a day...
Now should I even aim for that or should I instead aim for 32 more articles and settle for 234 articles after this long hiatus I had to take?
I shall have to ponder this...

I have been writing articles in a few other blogs than the Gnomestead Stump. Some I might not link to here, but I thought I might add to the count. That is where the 10 other articles come in. I have to figure out if there are more... I will be looking.

Hi, just a little update.
I am trying to get back into writing the articles again. I have been able to do a bit more writing, but am being plagued with very bad headaches at the moment.

Not sure how to figure this.... I have written around 50% of the articles, but it has taken me 77% of the year with the hiatus that this move has caused me to take. I am still not up to writing an article a day yet either though what I write is not all on the Gnomestead Stump and Blended Realms. I have started also to write a bit on a Xanga Blog.
Any suggestions?2 Recommendations1 Comment -

Hi!
I realize that for me the New Year really started with the end of November and beginning of December. That was when I moved into this new place. Actually that fits in with the "Church Year" which begins with the "First Sunday of Advent". That is four Sundays before Christmas.
Anyhow it sort of fit with my cycle this year... I guess we all follow some cycle or another or a co...1 Recommendation2 Comments -

Hello my friends on Daily Strength!
It's been far too long between my visits here and I apologize to all my friends whom I have left in the dark. I have reached my new suite, but half my stuff is still outside the door and I do worry about damage from the damp of the chill night and possible damage from water from the thawing snow.

Hi!
The Dr's appointment went well yesterday. My blood glucose levels are okay.. A1C is 6.4 or something like that.... my brain always wants to shut down when he says "okay". If they aren't 6.4 they are 6.7... but they are within limits for me. He also said my kidney function is back to normal from what it had been at the hospital with the stones.

Maple Syrup Urine Disease Information
Maple syrup urine disease (MSUD) is an inherited metabolic disorder due to a deficiency of decarboxylase enzyme that leads to elevated concentrations of leucine, isoleucine, and valine (branched amino acids) in the blood and urine. Characterized by the urine having an odor similar to that of maple syrup. This results in severe mental retardation, and seizures. Also called branched chain ketoaciduria.
Treatment of the MSUD, like diabetes, requires careful monitoring of blood chemistry and involves both special diet and frequent testing. A diet with minimal levels of the amino acids leucine, isoleucine, and valine must be maintained in order to prevent neurological damage. Usually, patients, or parents of patients are assisted by a physician or dietician. This diet must be adhered to strictly and permanently. However, with proper treatment those aflicted are able to live healthy, normal lives and not suffer the severe neurological damage that characterizes the untreated disease.
