WOO HOO! Just got repeat business from a very happy client who knows what great copy editing/enhancement is worth.
It’s a fun project, too, for well-known video game producer Michael Mendheim of Digital Dreams Entertainment LLC. Here’s a link to his video games accessories store: https://digitaldreamsent.threadless.com/
I’ve asked him a few clarifying questions that he is passing along to his creative team for answers, but he says we’re very close to being finished just with what I’ve done so far.
It took three hours and fifteen minutes to edit and enhance the piece. It shouldn’t take more than about ten minutes more to make the other changes after his team gets back to him with answers. (There are only two lines that need clarification, and we may also take out one reference in several places.) He promises we’ll be finished with it before I go under the knife on Wednesday…
I know there are a lot of avid gamers in my orbit, so thought you’d get a kick out of this news. If you haven’t played any of these games, check them out and let me (and Michael!!) know how you like them. Good reviews (and even helpful feedback) make a world of difference with independent creators, you know! Keep those reviews coming!!!
Michael is a terrific collaborator. I hope we get a chance to meet someday. (Heck, I’d love just to Zoom with him once!) I’ve reviewed his background and feel sensational about serving him.
In Other News…
I gave myself the first dose of the “bridge therapy” drug this morning. T’was a piece of cake. I’ll be able to self-administer the additional three doses between now and Tuesday morning, but after surgery, Jackie might have to do the honors because I may not be able to reach my hip comfortably enough to administer the four doses that follow my surgery date. Right now the bridge therapy is going into my abdomen, but that area will be off-limits after surgery. I’ll be snugly stitched, wrapped and bound there until my first follow-up appointment on June 24th.
Oh, wait. That isn’t right. After a few days, I will be able to shower daily, so I will be unbinding then, but I will be re-binding each time after I dry off…or wearing a tight girdle-like thingy to keep my sutures from being stretched apart when I walk, turn and move around in and out of bed.
Sadly, My Biking Has Come to an End for Now…
Lisa and I have ridden our bikes four times just in this past week for a total of 96 miles, half of them uphill.
In the past two weeks we’ve ridden probably 200 miles altogether. She’s dropping pounds and inches like nobody’s business. Because of my sluggish metabolism, I’ve lost another three pounds at the most. (Big whoop.) But at least I know for sure that I’m sound of wind and limb for surgery. I can state that categorically without hesitation! (If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you heard about my sluggish metabolism, confirmed by a surgeon back in 1977, who said I’d need to eat fewer than 500 calories a day to slowly lose weight over a number of years. (Yeah, I know… Not happening! 1200 calories per day is considered a starvation diet!)
I’m going for fitness and health, not weight loss. Doing what I’d need to lose additional weight post-surgery would be beating a dead horse (metabolism) … and besides, post-surgery I’ll look so much better than I do right now that I’ll feel like I’ve lost enough! (I’m anticipating losing between 14 and 20 pounds during the panniculectomy…the more, the better!)
I guess that’s all the news that’s fit to print for now. Hope you’re enjoying your weekend!
