Olivia, Editor-in-Chief of Tuxedo Cat Press

Quick note tonight.

An interesting weekend, and not just because I wrote over 2,000 words. Long conversation yesterday with a dear friend who’s had some huge news. Still dealing with the aftereffects of last weekend’s surgery, including ongoing fatigue, minor pain, and reactions to anesthesia. Meeting with the first of several potential house painters. Return of the “check engine” light, including vibration and rough idle, after spending literally thousands to fix my fifteen-year-old car barely two months ago.

And Olivia, Editor-in-Chief of Tuxedo Cat Press, deigning to recline on the back of my chair.

Writing 1,000 words every day this week will be a challenge, if only because I have more appointments (including, please God, the mechanic) as well as a definite need to return to work since I have (a) deadlines, and (b) bills to pay next week. But I will cope because after all, what are the choices? As one of the magnets over my desk says:
