Just Checking In

I haven't fallen off the planet, but also haven't been motivated to write for a while. I've been gorging myself on novels, one after another. Currently I'm immersed in The Great Stink by Clare Clark (if I've got the name right). The next couple of months will be somewhat chaotic. Matt has four outpatient surgeries scheduled, three of which will require hotel stays in Berkeley. The (eating) holidays are soon approaching. Amidst the chaos and inevitable temptations, my health goal is to maintain my weight, 196 lbs. as of this morning. I hope to catch up with reading the blogs of my on-line friends in the next couple of days and, if not by then, at least by the end of next week-end. Onwards now to cuddle up in bed with The Great Stink, an excellent book which I heartally recommend. It is the author's first novel and I'm already looking forward to her next one.
