Or, what I found on my desk when I sat down to write this morning.

Guess she’s tired of waiting.

I don’t normally do posts like this, but I haven’t been around for a while. Here’s what I’ve been doing instead:

• Managing painters, plumbers, electricians, and flooring guys
• Hiring movers
• Packing up our current place
• Cleaning/prepping our new place (we move again in June)
• Paying taxes (in three states!)
• Camp NaNoWriMo (a mini-National Novel Writing Month event held in April–and again in July, if you’re interested)
• Trying to figure out how donations work in Chicago
• Trying to figure out how emotions translate into body language and body language into words on a page
• Binge reading Elizabeth George mysteries
• Debating with Michael on the ideal functionality of a master bathroom

Here’s what I’ve not been doing:

• Blogging

Sadly (?), all my spare words have been going to my novel lately. Hopefully I’ll return to my regularly scheduled blogging output soon. In the meantime, enjoy the spring!
