    Last week, this week

    After a fairly dreadful week (cat with incurable disease, currently not life-threatening but which makes him unable/unwilling to go outside hence necessitating much laundry, bleaching floors and finding of old litter tray; breakdown of both fridge and washing-machine (despite necessity of much laundry); remnants of continuing jetlag; edge of recurring depression), this week is looking better.

    After a few weeks planning Telepathic Twins in Space using the Snowflake Method, I've started NaNoWriMo. So far, with a whole two days under my belt, it's going well. I'm hoping to end up with 50,000 real, useable words (unlike last time - ha), then to spend December finishing up, editing and polishing ready to start submitting in January.

    Wish me luck! For any or all of the above. NaNo is important, obviously, but I have to say I'd like a working washing-machine soon. You don't need to worry about the fridge, though, cos we bought a new one. It's astonishingly clean - I'd forgotten that's how they could look.

    I'm glad that so far this week's better than last week. Hope it stays better, and good luck with the NaNo-ing.

    Oh dear, poor cat! Is it treatable, if it's not curable? (My old cat's breakdown into senility is the reason I have a wooden bedroom floor: SO much easier to clean than carpet!)

    Good luck with--well, everything!

    Wah! I do not want you to be sad or jetlagged! I am coming home this week and shall try to make you happy. Although the fridge may have already achieved that.

    Love, J xxx

    Oh, Immy, (((((hugs)))))

    Get a new washing machine too. It will help.

    Thank you. :-)

    The washing machine is gloriously working again and I love my new fridge very much.

    It is semi-treatable, Kate. It's Feline Corona (sp?) Virus, which may or may not get much worse (hopefully not!), and the symptoms can be treated with steroid injections so hopefully he'll stay relatively comfortable into old age.

    Thanks again for the nice comments!
