First, to all who've wished me Merry Christmas and posted kind thoughts and prayers about my COVID battle, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
On the disease front, both I and Sweetie are over the disease. Mine was like a cold. Hers knocked her on her butt - fever, coughing, etc. for days. apparently there's a range of symptoms. I got one spot on the spectrum, she got another.
With all the holiday stuff, I've fallen behind on writing. I'm about 50% on a Details chapter and 30% on Laura and Benjamanda. This week should see all those go to the editor's care.
My usual plan to finish up stories by year's end so they might be voted upon in the next year's awards just isn't happening this year. I'll just rest on the kind words I get from you people. That keeps me going.
