Dare I say it?  Am I tempting fate?  🙂 Things seem to have settled down around here--okay, it's early--and I'm hoping it's a pattern.Wendy went home to California yesterday--she's in the middle of a new script--and although I miss her very much, I know we...

That's been my motto this month.  Keep going, show up, do what has to be done.  What else can a person do, really?  I am so grateful to all my dear friends for the notes and emails and cards, all containing kind words of condolence.  Thank you,...

What can I say?  The last few weeks have been rugged to say the least--first, Sadie passed away and then, right on the heels of that, we lost a beloved friend under very tragic circumstances.  Wendy came up from California and the two of us attended the...

There has been a tragic loss in my circle of friends, and I will be attending memorial services tomorrow.  I hope to be back to writing and to the blog on Thursday morning.In the meantime, we are mourning, and deeply appreciate prayers and patience.

We lost our dear Sadie-beagle last night.  I miss her so much, but there is peace in knowing she isn't hurting anymore.  I was right there with her, which was a blessing--there are, in fact, many blessings involved here.  I'll write more on Monday, but...

Sadie was home briefly last night, but still didn't feel well, so Jen and I took her back to the clinic, where she is getting more fluids and possibly a feeding tube.  The doctors are pretty much mystified.  Everything except gastrointestinal stuff has been...

Tomorrow, I will write my 1500th blog!  I can't believe it.  Sadie is still at the clinic, but seems to be improving.  Tests and more tests.  Now there seems to be a possibility that she doesn't have Cushings at all.  I just want her to come...

My little friend has had a rough time lately--she's been in the veterinary clinic, except for a brief stint at home, since last Thursday night.  This morning, she's having a sonogram and then she needs to go to her regular vet and we'll see from there.  We...

It's a zoo around here, as usual.  The air conditioning went out--AGAIN--and Sadie's having real problems due to her lack of appetite, and we're dealing with that.  Not to worry--she just got dehydrated and needs some TLC.I'm well into the book, though,...

Excellent writing day yesterday!  It's been hot as heck here lately; the houseplants are loving it, but the rest of us wouldn't mind a rainy day or two.  :)I'm reading another book recommended by friends--read for so long last night, in fact, that the...

I've made some important decisions lately; some of them are about starting something and some of them are about stopping something.  :)Have you ever quit a group, not because there was anything wrong with the people in that group,  but because you didn't...

An absolutely wonderful writing day!  I did my timed "freewriting" exercise (10 minutes, just writing as fast as I can, the theme being what I want to happen in the story next), then I launched right into the chapter.  Slade and Joslyn are...
