I'm so glad I wasn't here last week

That storm I mentioned? One of my coworkers had such a down draft on her home that it shoved the roof in and bowed out the walls on either side, doing almost 40K worth of damage. SOme places still have no power. I got lucky, really lucky here.

The vet kept Soul another day but didn't tell her tech what, if anything is wrong. Okay something IS wrong. Blood is coming out his butt. There is something wrong.

Kanda nearly broke my nose. He's SO excited to have me all to himself that he keeps head butting me. One head butt (battering ram, whatever) slammed right into my nose.

THe power outage from the storm cost me nearly all the plants in the greenhouse. Might as well have flushed the money.

And in things that are too funny (at least to me) I was editing the story Staples (with still NO clear idea to my pen name but still living with the fear that my conservative college wouldn't appreciate some of what I write), I was reminded that Sulien's father was supposed to be Llwellyn ap Gruffydd. ie this guy.

A break in the heat

It rained nicely (we SO needed it). It's only in the 70's, lovely. Now for more gentle rain and we'll be good.

Hey guys, I'm having an author's chat on Goodreads tomorrow. It's for The Darkest Midnight in December. If you have a goodreads account, I would love for you to join me. You can find more info HERE They sent out 1000 invites and 7 people said yes (which is about par for the course, I believe they invite everyone who has a DSP account). I really wish there had been at least one review of the novella.

Speaking of novellas, if you have the Scarred Soldier one and mean to read it, I'm getting ready to do the next level of edits on it.

I have fridays off in the summer. That doesn't mean I accomplished anything I wanted to. I DID get to set up the new drying rack I got at costco's. it's enormous but at least it folds easily once I figured out what I was doing. Kanda thinks it's a place to hide under.

He's not happy. He had his nails trimmed and got furminated. Soul is still at the vet's. If she thinks I'm paying for him staying again, she's wrong. For that matter, I never signed off on ANY work. She ought to get on and tell me what she thinks is wrong (they keep telling me they can't find anything. He's bleeding. It's NOT the food. So you tell me, doc.)
