Note to anyone planning to come see me read at Ravenna Third Place Books tonight: the reading has been cancelled due to weather. The readings will be re-scheduled. Thanks!

We are having crazy, windy, stormy weather out here in the NW. I just got back from physical therapy where I watched tree branches blow by while I worked on my shoulder. Very exciting! I hope our power stays on tonight. It’s been off and on since yesterday.

Another MS rejection, this time from U of Wisconsin, who scribbled “Strong MS” on the note. That’s the second, note-scribbled rejection for my new MS. But it’s gotten lots better since September, which is when these versions of the MS were sent out. I think.

Thanks for all your well-wishes. I am feeling better. One of my good friends had a health scare this week. It made me realize how much worse it is when someone close goes through a health thing than when I do. It’s much less an exciting medical mystery, which is how I approach my own weird health problems – much more anxiety-provoking.
