Am still up, insomnia

got a Kindle Fire HD 8 with Alexa, Alexa, what is epilepsy, epilepsy is a short-circuit of the central nervous system. Epilepsy is a chronic seizure condition of the central nervous system, neurology, gack, nothing I can do about it, in August 45 years. Am listening to The Hobbit, Alexa, my Audible Library, ” here are your audiobooks” Alexa, continue playing the Hobbit with Bilbo Baggins, Gandalf, Thorin Oakenshield, Bwalin, Dwalin, Dori, Ori, Bombur, Fili, Kili, how many is that, 8, it is supposed to be 13, last night I had a flipping bad dreams last night, I was naked and walking the halls, walked down the hall and played tag with a fire extinguisher, went downstairs in the elevator, got hard as iron, masturbated long and hard and blew my load and sprayed jiz all over the place, very weird people, I’m pretty sure that didn’t happen because nobody complained about stinky cock snot. Long as I’m talking about masturbating and I might have posted this already, there was a documentary on PBS, it was 3 or 4 months earlier, that would have been October of 18, and the documentary was called Brain Storms and Doc P was in it, she said that in a seizure a person may take off all their clothing and get sexually excited. Now Felicity–fictional name–was a journalist and film designer and she was directing this. She went to work, went into a seizure, took off all her clothes and began vigorously masturbating until she came, she must have wondered why her nipples were hard and sensitive and clitoris was hard and sensitive. She was grunting and moaning and screaming–she was a screamer–next thing she didn’t know why she was in the bathroom without any clothes on, and next day she got a note that she’d have a black mark on her record for sexual impropriety, getting naked, stepping out of her thong, she didn’t wear hose, masturbating and hip-humping. She didn’t remember it at all, don’t know why but the alarm went off and it’s only 6 am, it’s Sunday and on weekends the Country cafe doesn’t open until 7:30 so at 7 am I’m undressing and taking a shower, I’ll probably wake my next door neighbor Laurie Delander, although she’s pretty hard of hearing she’s probably heard unusual noises like wall-thumping. Laurie is 130 pounds, age 54 or 55, 5 foot 7, cute gal, blond hair, blue eyes, perfect teeth that are probably on account of modern orthodontic work–braces–a farm girl from Red Glen or Green Glade or Golden Hollow

Damn insomnia from Lamictal

It’s 5 am and I’m up, went to a restaurant up at the Chippewa reservation and came out $6 ahead, was pretty lucky, am enjoying the AC, it was above zero today and I mean above zero yesterday and I think it is supposed to be today, rainy though, couldn’t go on a rainshower without getting arrested today, tomorrow I think is supposed to be above zero, I’m not sure about Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, almost anything, the windchill on last Tuesday or Wednesday was -46, frosty cool, you can get frostbitten in 5 minutes, now to schedule to post this.

prayer and focused meditation

They say that prayer is talking to God and meditation is listening and hearing, a Zen mantra from the one and only Jack Canfield, the chicken soup dude I’m doing another epilepsy memoir, maybe after time for Swiss Miss hot cocoa, went to Wally World today, Swiss Miss was on sale, yikes, have to split and work on the memoir after the A-book narrated by Kirsten Trump, maybe May, yikes again, holy crap.

Darn it

never finished, read my first King in 78 or 79, 79 I watched Salems’ Lot with James Mason, Fred Ward, Lance Kerwin, Bonnie Bedelia, David Soul, etc. didn’t see the movie Carrie, the 1976 original with Sissy Spacek, John Travolta, PJ Soles that opens with a bunch of naked girls in a locker-room and showers, didn’t read the damn book until last year, 2018, I just didn’t get what all the fuss was about, let’s put it this way, since 74 he’s written better. I’m hooked on audio-books now, must have 30 King A-books in my Audible library, 4 by his son Joe Hill who writes dark stuff like his Dad, doing it again, going on a tangent, from 95 to 2001 I worked in a damn factory that caused me to have a nervous breakdown, quit there 11 of 2001, 2002 I became a professional unpublished writer, joined Starlight Writers, 2005 I joined Northwest Wisconsin Regional Writers in 2005 and the majority of 2006 I joined Yarn-Spinners, an elite critique group that really made my writing shift forward, we had a writing processing disagreement and I split with them Thanksgiving Day of 06 (8/05 to 11/06) while with Yarn-spinners I started an epilepsy memoir then  The Electric Highway, the problem with Yarn-Spinners is that they’d beat a writing hobby horse to death, trying for perfectionism when there is no such a thing as perfect. Please do not get religious on me. Fast forward, 2014, my service dog Buddy Miller had to be put to sleep 1/27, got kind of bummed and then I thought that Buddy would have wanted me to shift carcass and get on with my life. Self-published E-memoir under the title Detour: a 40-year epilepsy memoir, my not so factual remembrances over 40 years, from 1974 to 2014. Self-published on Amazon’s Createspace making me a published non-fiction writer, 2015, self-published first novel, Death is not the End making me a published fiction writer. Got ahead of myself, 10-31-14 I published the same memoir with the title Epilepsy Memoir: My 40-year detour, as a result of that through 3 ads in the Radio-Television-Interview-Report of Bradley Communications, Corp., 390 Reed Drive, Broomall, PA. I’m doing it again, ad in RTIR that goes out to 4700 television and radio producers I think it’s on a monthly basis, maybe digital, landed 3 interviews as an epilepsy expert, Bob Gourley, Issues Today Radio (8 minutes); Michael Dresser, The Michael Dresser Show (15:47 minutes); Neal Howard, Health Professionals Radio, (30 minutes). Unfortunately, Mr. Dresser died of a heart attack in 2015 or maybe 2016. Back on track, 10-31-16, published a 2nd novel (Psychic Gift with a Price: Power of the Icy Flames), for epilepsy awareness month, November I published 6 versions of the epilepsy memoir, I can’t keep track of all the titles.  In May of 16 I had my first audiobook published, the title Detour: a 40-year epilepsy memoir, narrated by Robert Scott Sullivan, I believe the 2nd audiobook was in 2017 but I’m not certain, 2018 I had 4 or if it was 2017 I had 3 A-books published. Titles: Detour: a 40-year epilepsy memoir narrated by Robert Scott Sullivan; Brain Lightning Storms: Epilepsy and Silent Seizures LP narrated by Sophia Lee; Epilepsy: the lightning storm within the brain…LP narrated by Scott Panfil. Organic Vivastra Nagna Epilepsy Zen LP narrated by Renae James; Practical Epilepsy Zen Memoir…LP narrated by Sky Wildmist. Many thanks to you wonderful people. Title of the latest that I’m hammering together specifically for an audiobook is

The Cherry Blossoms NASCAR Zen of epilepsy living: Buy this Epilepsy Zen book please, live chi epilepsy Zen life LP

Epilepsy Zen Education 101 Brand, 1 that will be narrated by Kirsten Trump, 4/1 due date so it should be on Audible, iTunes, Amazon at the end of April to mid-May

I read my first Stephen E King

back in 1978 or maybe 1979, always wanted to be a writer, mostly poetry from 1971 – 1992 when I fell in love with a girl who was a true lady, 3 years younger than I am to the day, I was born 4-17-63 and she was born 4-17-66, is that wild or what, she had definite problems with the L word, said I didn’t want the commitment word, I have brain atrophy from chronic anticonvulsant use so my memory is shot, pre 2010 is pretty much gone, pre 2000 is gone, I definitely don’t remember that lady at all, wrote a poem for her a few months before we split, the green-eyed brown-eyed girl, I do remember as hot in temperament as in sexual actions and desires, we got sex-experimental, she had small, cold hands and short clipped nails. She had E also. Don’t really remember my high school class (booze is great and sex is fun, we’re the class of 81 as Saint Croix Central H.S.). Found 8, maybe 10 classmates on FB but I don’t recognize the pictures, some of them even have grandchildren, that is wild, had a crush on Dani Nordquist all through Jr. High and High School, there was Caitlyn Bell, Rudy Cinders, Laurie George Downey, Cathy Flounders, the girl next door, Debi, the girl down the block, enough said, it will probably take a half hour to post all this

Spent almost all day yesterday and last night, Nature Boy Don Miller

Just checking out the temps, it has been in the -20 and -30 + F. not exactly the time to go commando, now I have an AC cold and case of the sniffles, I don’t exactly look like I did in my teens and twenties and thirties, 2003 – 2018 were sort of a waste, the 40s and first half of the 50s. Cancelled my appointment with MEG Dr Sing or Sang or Sung, whoever made an appointment for AARP taxes on 3-13 not realizing that I have a dental appointment that morning, have to turn that frown upside down and sunny side up. Fortune shines on me, mostly in ebooks I made 126 dollars last year, audio 96.34, not too shabby at all, one sale by myself to Richard Hultberg for 15 dollars, I’m not even claiming that it is so small, don’t think the IRS cares about numbers that small. We have radiators at Crexway and the water heating up in the pipes is making some really funky sounds.

Buddy has been dead for 4, almost 5 years

He was placed with me 3-21-03, was with me for 10 years and 10 months and was put to sleep 1-27-14, was bummed for a couple weeks when I realized that Buddy would have wanted me to get on with my life, had been working on a memoir for 9 years, if you count epilepsy years at the time 40 years. Published Detour: a 40-year Epilepsy Memoir in April of 2014, published it again under a different title, Epilepsy Memoir: My 40-year Detour on 10-31-14, did 3 epilepsy expert coach interviews with Bob Gourley of Issues Today Radio, Michael Dresser of The Michael Dresser Show, Neal Howard of Health Professionals Radio, started going epilepsy Zen in the Howard interview, fast forward to Easter Day of 2015, launched my first novel–Death is not the End–Unholy Resurrections, 1, fast forward, on 10-31-16 I launched the second novel in the Unholy Resurrections series, Psychic Gift With a Price: Power of the Icy Flames, also in 2016 for November epilepsy awareness month I put out 6 different versions of the memoir, in print, LP and RP, in digital Kindle. Forgot something, in May of 2016 I got my first audiobook on Audible, iTunes, Amazon, Detour: A 40-year Epilepsy Memoir RP narrated by Robert Scott Sullivan you can check out all my books, digital, print, audio at www.amazon.com/author/millerdon my Author Central webpage

Doc Penovich

will no longer be my neurologist,

last appointment on 12-11-18 same old, same old memory tests, those damn psych questions, history questions, checking my reflexes, at the end of the appointment Doc P said and next time you’ll have a new neurologist, Doctor Singh or Doctor Sigh, something Indian, a combo neuro and shrink but no one is perfect, except Doc P, she’s been my neuro for 26 years, in February it would have been 27 years. I was a patient of Zondal Miller out of Central Medical from 1974 to 1983, Minnesota Comprehensive Epilepsy Program from 83 to 90, Minnesota Epilepsy Group from 90 to 2018, Doc P started in 92.

When she left the room I asked a question I dreaded because I already thought I knew the answer, asked her head nurse Tashia, “Is Doc P retiring?” “She’s cutting way back on her caseload,” and I’m one of the cut-backs, so, Dad and I were talking it over on the way back from United Hospital in Saint Paul, MN, being that my control has been spectacularly awesome, maybe I should switch to a clinic or hospital closer to Grantsburg, WI.  www.scrmc.org they have an adequate neurology department and I’m switching over to them. Head neuro is Gurdesh Bedi, the assistant is Jenna Mazour, with Doc Miller 44 years back it was 9 years, 7 years with MINCEP, and 28 years with MEG, time for a change, it’s just being realistic

Girlfriend in 1990-1991

Was Angie Firestone, as hot in temperament as in sexual desires, her nickname was Anger Firestone, a modification of her actual name, she’s a fictional representation, I’m Paul Morrison, I was born 7-4-65 and she was born 7-4-68, same day but 3 years apart. Want to check out all my books, 2 novels, 10 memoirs, most in LP, RP, and Kindle, my epilepsy Zen books are only in LP, Volumes 1 and 2 of Psychic Death is not the End are only in LP
