I’m Still Here

I’m just rather snowed under. Deadlines, sick dog, sick kid.

The deadlines are for my last contracted book. It’s with Harper (Balzer+Bray). It’s YA. That’s all I’m saying right now.

The kid has a cold. Nothing serious, but she’s pretty miserable. Still adorable in her miserableness, though, since all she wants to do is cuddle and have books read to her.

The dog is…. middling. We took her to a specialist last week, who did all kinds of tests and ruled out all sorts of serious illnesses (tick-borne, cancer, Addison’s Disease). So now we’re back to the original diagnosis of pancreatitis. Weird pancreatitis. So we just take care of her and wait, and hopefully she’ll recover. She does seem to be perking up some, though. Still not eating the way I’d like.

And now: back to work.
