This is another of those blog posts where I explain I’m not doing a blog post. In this case it is because life has been far too much with me.

That life takes the form of a little 21 year old cat who developed diabetes is a mere coincidence. What matters is that my time suddenly disappeared down a circling vortex of cleaning – she completley broke litterbox habit for two weeks – testing cat blood sugar and administering insulin.

Normally this wouldn’t be a big deal. But because I was in the final phase of assembling/polishing a novel when this struck, I got pulled out of the novel. (For some reason the final phase needs tremendous concentration and "being there") I’ve been working very hard, for two days, to get "back in." At this point a blog post article can be enough to pull me out of the novel and the mood.

So, with due apologies....

I’ll be back ;)
