Well, I’m still not sure when they’re sending me home of if they are. My family practice doc was in today, and says 6 to 12 months of life left. I saw the attourney today to draw up a will, power of attourney and health directives My first priority is getting the trilogy to iUniverse, so the blog is going to be a very occasional thing. I’m going to start jumping ahead in Jarn’s Journal, so you an see where the Jarnian confederation got it’s name, and why all of us have a little bit of Jarn in us. I will try occasionally to get on WWW, too, but that’s about all. Does anyone know about literary executor?
As some of you know, I live alone. They won’t let me go home to that. For one thing, I still can’t use the walker without help, for another I will need oxygen for the immediate future, if not for the rest of my life.
Sorry, but at this point it’s hospice and palliative care. I just hope I can get home to my regular computer. I hate the touchpad on the laptop.

I had talked to Dick earlier this evening and he told me that the prognosis was not good. I am heart sick to read your blog post. However, I don’t think everyone in the Nicholas clan reads it and I know they will want to know about this. As I said in the voice mail I just left you, please let me know if I can help in any way.
Yes. I’m not feeling well enough to hit social media.
Sue sAnn,
I’m so very sorry to hear this. I come by to visit you sometimes, but I don’t always leave a hello and I wish I had more often.
Let me say, that I think you’re awesome. I enjoy your weather reports. I enjoy learning about where you live. I appreciate that you spent time with me this past April during the A to Z Challenge.
Don’t let a number define you. Lots of living, seeing, hearing, tasting, and touching left to do. Embrace it all.
I’ll be thinking of you.
If you need to talk, I’m here. (hgardner28@gmail.com)

Thanks, I’m glad to hear you remember me.
Sue Ann – I enjoy your Jarn’s Journal and your Monday North Pole weather updates and read your health update with much sadness. My childhood friend of 51 years is an ovarian cancer survivor but was diagnosed with lung cancer two years ago, and now has malignancies in her brain. She has taught me to take life one day, one moment at a time, a lesson I haven’t quite learned yet. I will be thinking about you in the coming days and weeks.
Thanks for the comment
LIke Heather, I come visit but don’t often leave a footprint. I’m sorry I can’t nip over and look after your garden and your projects and you. You probably wouldn’t appreciated that last one, but the thought is there.
Re Lit Executor: I’m effectively doing that for my dad’s memoirs. If you tell your executor(s) that your wish is for someone (named or unnamed) to edit and publish your work in a certain way (or give them free rein to do it as they think best) then that’s enough. You just have to make sure the rights are assigned to them (or to the executors if you prefer any royalties to go back into your estate). Just make sure your executor and your chosen editor know your wishes. You could put the assignment of rights in your will if you have any doubts as to how they would get on.
My Dad didnt do that, but my brother (executor) and I have agreed the rights issue, so that’s ok.
We’ll miss you. But you’ll be ahead of us in that Great Adventure Beyond…
Love and hugs

Thanks for liking the blog.
I’m really so very sorry to hear this news, feel as if we’ve “known each other” for so long, with the weekend excerpt hops and commenting back and forth…take care of you, my friend, only do what you WANT to do, ok? I love Jarn’s Journal 🙂 Glad to hear there”s a bit of Jarn in all of us. HUGS and more hugs.
Thanks. I enjoy yours, too, but I’m not going to be commenting as much.
