All by May 1, I was supposed to move out of one apartment and into a house; finish my revisions and turn them in; and complete a bunch of projects at my day job that are extremely intensive.
April has been a stressful month but I was on track to finish it all. Then, last Friday, my dog swallowed a treat and spent until yesterday in doggy hospital with a failing liver and blocked esophagus. It was a bit of a nightmare. He still may not recover but at least now he's sitting here beside me as I type, sleeping.
I still have to move, I still have to finish those revisions (though luckily my wonderful editor at Simon Pulse gave me some extra days...animal lovers unite!), and I still have to go get ready to go to work.
Oh, and I turn 33 on Saturday. Not ready for that either.
But life goes on. That's the reality of being a writer...of being a human being, I suppose. Life happens, and we just do our best to keep up.
I'll be back on the blog after all this current craziness is over. In the meantime, enjoy a picture of Maxx before he swallowed a stupid treat whole.
What a cutie! Yeah, it's funny (not!) how life can come at you sometimes. Good luck with juggling it all :)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! I hope your little guy is okay and able to recover. Take your time, we'll be here when you get back. :)

I'm so sorry about your cute little guy. I will keep him in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteAnd happy birthday. 33 ain't so bad. Wait until you hit the big 4-O-M-G, which I did this year. Okay, it's still not that bad but it did cause me a moment of pause. Just a small moment, but noticeable nonetheless.
Good luck on the edits and the move. And try not to get too stressed out!
Sherrie: Thanks. Luckily, it's all starting to slow down a little. For now.
ReplyDeleteTara: He's finally on the mend. Thank your for the well wishes. It's sad when your live revolves around whether your dog poops or not.
Eric: Forty doesn't scare me. My 20's were the worst for me. Since I hit 30, my life has been so much better. I actually can't wait to see what 40 brings me. Happy belated birthday to you!
