Well, the Term Challenge thingy has fifteen entrants and someone wanting to know if she (he?) may do two.  Nice enthusiasm!  I'm thinking to do one myself for somewhat more obscure organizations, since everyone is tackling things like children's diseases and terrorism.  (One of them is doing PETA, and I'm not quite sure where to class that.)  We have someone supporting autism research; we have someone joining Amnesty International to research the act of being a member more closely.  YAY!  I wasn't even sure this would fly.  (If you are puzzled, see previous post.)

However, the story that's getting bunnied is a) not remotely fairy-tale-like and b) requiring more toughness than I might have right this minute.

That's the good news.  Last week I collected a total of FIVE rejection letters, which feels like a lot.  I'm regrouping and working on novel and fanfic for a bit, I think.  Sunny is beginning to have enough peripheral-nerve trouble that we have to do special things with her food so she can swallow.  Luckily, the current special thing is to feed her from a 9x13 cake pan so she can't take such big gulps.  Eating slowly helps her a lot.  Her food still includes odd stuff like tofu and ginger -- basically, to keep her healthy I feed her stir-fry complete with shiitake compounds.  So far so good.  Spouse and I discussed whether to go get her a kitten after all.  Pets shouldn't have pets, but we know she'd be thrilled.  The trick is finding a kitten who would also be thrilled.

Spouse and I managed to have a busy weekend, for once, but addressing the to-do list was something else again.  Intended to-do: buy shoes, work on bathroom, replace furnace filters at long last.  Actually done: shopping, some yard work, massive cooking and laundry efforts, a few scrapes at the utterly irrelevant bit of backerboard for the bathroom, returning useless crap to Home Depot.  So we spent lots of time together and got things done -- just none of the things that I thought had needed doing since about October.  How does this happen?  Spouse was mostly in a decent and productive mood, though, which was good.  For once, we mostly lined up on those.

cancer, mnff, house, writing, dog
