Lovely day here in Rochester.

What did I do? Got rid of some housewares I don't need. Did some organizing. Ate some pasta. Fulfilled my main job as a housesitter: transferred scents from the two long-haired female cats to my two male short-haired grand-dogs & vice versa. I'm sure there's some olfactory machinations going on. The cats are bigger than the dogs, I think.

Did some other stuff. Okay, so I am really not in the mood for blogging. This is a phone-it-in post, done strictly because it's April the last. I'll just say that my grandchild has not yet launched into the outer world & my cold is nearly gone & I've typed in a bunch of stuff from a notebook.

Perhaps May will be bloggier. I hear that's in the forecast.

Earthday Birthday

Ah, April. Go she will.

But not without at least one post.

I've had a lovely birthday week, which continues with more celebration this weekend.

Plus--

drumroll please

--I sold a story to Woman's World. It will appear in the edition that hits grocery checkout aisles everywhere on May 2nd. It is a weekly, though, so you don't have long to get your hot little hands on it.

I got the contract on a Friday, wrote a new (very cool) story on Saturday, edited it on Sunday & Monday & got it into the mail on Monday. Wish me luck!

I've been paring down possessions--going to get back to that right now.
