Distracted

Life sometimes hits you in the gut when you're not paying attention.

Queen Bee the Wonder Dog had been doing terrific since her surgery to remove a huge tumor. It had spread to the lymph nodes and to the liver. Just before she had an appointment with the doggie oncologist for chemotherapy (lymphoma) she started having seizures. 8 in a 24-hour period. Yikes!

So between a gazillion road trips to Rhode Island (where the specialty vets are), Halloween, work (selling a business as we speak), paperwork, I sit and stare at the computer screen in a daze.

I did attend a wonderful writing conference last weekend and did get a huge amount of ideas. But I stare at my blank screen...All the ideas floating in my head have yet to hit the page.

Kids and I have been having fun, carving pumpkins, watching movies, and following Kid Nation. We're all kind of tired after the dog's ordeal. We're just glad she's home and at the moment doing very well.

Except for the doggie gas...phew!! Nobody had better light a match!!

Hi Zany,
I see you around the blogosphere here and there, and you posted a nice comment on Janet Reid's blog when I was distraught over that agent.
Thanks for the nice words!!

I wanted to pop in also to invite you to my blog for "Author's Weekend." Patricia Wood is guest today, and tomorrow will be John Elder Robison. I hope you have a chance to pop in and participate!

Thanks!

P.S. Sorry about your gassy dog!
