Life
Wow - it's been over a month since I last posted. And... 10-29-05 I broke my foot. Yep. First broken bone(s) ever - and I so didn't want to believe it, I walked around for a week in pain, telling myself my foot was bruised. Right. It was bruised - black and blue and brown and green and swollen and after a week and three days, I finally took myself into the emergency room. When they saw my much improved looking foot (it was - still bad - but better than it had been,) they x-rayed it and told me to call an orthopedic foot specialist - a Podiatrist. I did and he ordered a CT-Scan. End result - one complete fracture with separation, one other hairline fracture, and a broken toe. Soooooo.... I've been hobbling around in a walking cast, even went to Vegas for my anniversary and rode around in a wheelchair. Not easy, let me tell you, especially for a self-sufficient person like me.
And.... my next Magic book is late. It was due 12-1 (t0morrow.) I'm still revising it - I have to do this whenever I finish a book - go back and re-read and revise. It's a fun book, different, and emotionally intense. I'm hoping to have it done soon, get it turned in, and start on the next Pack book, which is due in March.
Ayyyy - Secrets of the Wolf came out yesterday. Debuted on Bookscan (at spot 100.) Not too bad. I'm already getting letters on it - people seem to really enjoy the Pack stories. I'm glad, because I like writing them.
I still need to decorate for Christmas and wrap presents bought and finish shopping, and ... life goes on. A co-worker in my day job had to put her dog to sleep Monday and that tore me up. It brings back memories. I love my puppies so much!!
My daughter baby-sat them while I was in Vegas - and sent me camera-phone pictures of them so I wouldn't miss them so much. That was so sweet! She has her own beloved pet - a beautiful black and white cat named Lucy Lu (Lulu.)
That's all for now - sorry I've been gone so long. Between the broken foot, the deadline, the anniversary trip, and the holidays, I've been busy! As my husband says, life happens!!!
'Til next time!
