Too cool for school

It’s a bittersweet day. Today is Caitlin’s last day of the Early Childhood program. Technically tomorrow is the last day of school, but we’ll be at Children’s Memorial Hospital for doctors’ appointments. Caitlin’s been with the same teacher since she was three. In August, she starts kindergarten. The change is scary, but this is an important milestone in her life.

Five years ago, we had no idea if Caitlin would live this long, let alone thrive. She was seizing for over an hour a day and was almost completely unresponsive due to the injected steroids and multiple opiates in alcohol suspensions. This morning, she was laughing and smiling because she understood that it was the last day of school. I’m very proud of my little girl. We are very blessed as a family.

WIP revisions

I’m revising Murder Ballads, and I don’t hate it. I’m actually a bit shocked at how pleased I am with the first chapter. I’m sure that I will get mad at other sections of the novel, but so far things don’t look too shabby.

One of the real bonuses is that I will soon have something to swap with my critique partners.

New Doctor Who Toys

Hooray! My Voyage of the Damned gift set arrived. My only quibble is the the Doctor figure isn't in a tux.

I now have nine seperate David Tennant figures. That is probably overkill.
