The miracle of good wishes, sunshine, and very heavy-duty antibiotics mean that I am feeling much better today and not downing the last of my inhaler every ten minutes. Hope that improvement continues, as husband G is going out of town and my mother is coming in for a visit tomorrow! Reminder: do not ignore bronchitis symptoms. Especially if it is something that requires antibiotics!

Good news today – Redactions literary journal decided to nominate my poem, “Why I Write About Japanese Mythology” for the Pushcart Prize. Thanks guys!
