…and discovered a food container in the floor, courtesy of our boys. No food after midnight? We don’t think so.<\/p>\n
So I had to call the vet, apologize, and reschedule for Wednesday. The vet was very ok about it—I’m sure they’d rather have people catch this and reschedule rather than have a kitty with an emergency on their hands. I’m not sure they got any food out of it, but Jane spotted it, and better safe than sorry. We’ll be more careful Wednesday. Aspiration under anaesthesia is a scary thing. So we let Seishi out of his cage, and I try to get some work done.<\/p>\n
We are past the hump re the heat surge, and from now on the week should trend down rather than up. That’s welcome, not usual, but very welcome. We’ll get back into the 80’s. <\/p>\n
Pleasant and clouded this morning, before 9 am, and I got the algae-preventer in the pond (just to prove it’s working, we had a very little blush on the rocks as it ran out [once weekly]) and trimmed the suckers off the tree peonies, and wished the filter.<\/p>\n
Got my schedule to SpoCon and it looks good, a lot of writing stuff, which I really don’t like a schedule full of (does it occur to people that writing is what I do to get to the part I like, which is story and science and such, but at least not stupid writing panels…last year we had somebody in tears over a critique, and I really empathize with the gal. I would NEVER subject my work to a panel of people to take apart—I’m not sure I would do it now, because a writer’s writing mechanism is so iffy that a butterfly wing can disturb it. I don’t like Milford or that other conference, Clarion, for example. I’d never survive it as a writer. I’m tough as nails in some regards, but I’m really very fragile when it comes to my writing, and I’m not sure I could survive it even as an instructor. It’s just too unkind, and I have heard of people who went and just got messed up emotionally for quite a time.<\/p>\n
So I think I’m going to do myself AND a contestant a favor and duck out of the writing critique operation this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
