Not So Fast...
Coming home last night from Sacramento, via the drugstore to order some antibiotics (Numenius had a minor procedure done), we got stuck waiting for the train. This is a normal occurrence for us: pretty much anywhere and home is divided by the train tracks on a very busy line, so we have to stop maybe 10% of the crossings.
This train, though, was a very long freight which slowed to stop right at the crossing. One did this the other day for 40 mintues. I turned around and went back to get the antibiotics and some supper, it now being nearly 7:30.
When we got back in one of the cats had thrown up a frothy mixture all over the house. Diego continued to do this until it was just dry heaving at 2:00 am. Every hour I contemplated taking him to the animal hospital; every hour he seemed to get better.
I finally got some sleep, so did Numenius, so did Diego. But not so many words have been written this morning, and I have some novel catchup to do today… am thinking of going to the library.

Pica, I left a comment here last night but it disappeared. Hope Diego and Numenius are feeling better and good luck with writing the novel.
So…how’s it (the novel) going? And feeling? I’m cheering for you!
Best to N. for a quick recovery from whatever.
Thanks, both. It’s been an interesting few days. Just wrote six pages so I’m feeling a bit less pressure, but I’m certainly still behind…
