Power Multiplied

Apologies for My Absence

Here you see two photos of the latest addition to my household--Mochi. He is a Devon Rex, six months old, insatiably curious, high energy, and totally cuddly. I meant to wait on adding a puppy or kitten to my family until I had settled in more here at my new apartment, but I performed the fatal act--out of curiosity I looked online at where I might find a Devon Rex should I decide on one and oops, found this one. Before I knew it the breeder was delivering him. Why a Devon Rex? Because they are the closest thing to a non-allergenic cat that a person can get. Although I loved my JMacky, who came from the Humane Society, to bits for 16 years, I suffered for it with allergies. Meanwhile, I have been absent because I moved: much unpacking to do, much adjusting. And while I was moving, my latest book came back from my editor with comments and suggested revisions, which I have been plodding through, deciding whether to accept or reject changes, and mulling over the comments. I am almost finished. Thank goodness. What a thankless chore. I have only to go through to see if I missed any comments, then make some other fixes I have jotted down and then I can finally send the manuscript off to the small publisher which wanted to see it. So, things are settled enough for me to get in touch with you again. And I will.
