Notes by Spud- a writer, in chronological orderNotes by Spud- a writer


Been procrastinating studying all morning. Something about not using herppies...or maybe not knowing how to spell herpes. Jeremy Author IconMail Icon has gotten me hooked on a word now.

This post? It's weird but AI was not used to genterate. Anyhoo, I should probably go now!
Hmm. Otay bye-bye!
Jay O'Toole Author Icon - even in New Mexico we had really huge Tumbleweed herds rolling everywhere.
Ichabod Crane Author Icon - it's okay, herpes is just part of my post today. Unless we're talking about physical posts in which case I don't have one of those. *Wink*
Spud- a writer Author Icon - No doubt. Same environmental situation.
I'm so done with Genealogy. I'm done trying to figure out who I am. Don't ask me who my ancestors were or who my people are.

I am Spud and I am a writer. I make shit up because I like to write fiction. My cousin can take their facts and shove them up their ass!

I am no one and nothing but Spud.
Jeremy Author Icon - yeah, good point. I'll remove the "just" from my handle. Also thank you for reminding me how important writing is. I should do it more.
StephBee Author Icon - well that would explain why I'm orange on the inside.*Laugh*
Spud- a writer Author Icon - today's mood:
I have a new rule: No Genealogy after 11:00pm!

Believe it or not, this isn't because of my class. I saw a message from a sixth cousin of mine. I've been talking to them about the Asbell line on my dad's side.

I suggested maybe if we could find a military record or a school record for my 7th great grandfather. They replied back that I "obviously wasn't aware of how rare records are back then."

I went and spouted off all the research I've done on military records of the time. How I "knew" that if the oral tradition of John and William being Cherokee on their mother's side was true; we wouldn't find any written records. (Sequoia wouldn't invent Cherokee sylabary until around 1830.)

How I'd searched for records from the Bafferton School (the only Indian School that was in operation when John and William were school age) and found them to be scant. Then I went on about how the Cherokee society was traditionally matriarchal so the bothers would have belonged to their mother's clan. Not had their father's surname. I even speculated that at some point when my 7th great grandfather and 7th great uncle had their names Anglicized when they fought in the American Revolution that their clan name had been bungled into the surname "Asbell".

Sorry for the text wall, I went a little nuts. Long story cut off; I spent until nearly four in the morning stewing in my own ruminations. On a genealogical problem I can't hope to solve.*Pthb*
Just talked to my dad. Things are looking up. His surgery went well and he should be released in the next couple of days.

Only weird plot twist is they discovered his heart rate is variable sometimes.
Mine jumps around but nothing real dangerous. Hope that turns ok for your dad. *Smile*
Love a good plot twist, but not so sure about Doctors plot twist. Glad he's doing fine.
Ichabod Crane Author Icon - yeah he gave me a pretty good scare. But he sounded happy when I talked to him this afternoon. At least he'll be out of the hospital soon I think.
Dad had surgery today. According to the clock he is most likely still under the knife. I really hope for the best.
That is my prayer.
Just got a text from my dad. Still in the hospital but seems to be doing better.

in which I get stuck being vulnerable. Okay fine it was my choice.
So, I think that a minor puncture wound on my foot has made do yoga. Putting a bandage on the sole of one's own foot requires a lot more flexibility than I had guessed.
