A Normal, Average Week

It was a long if not particularly memorable week. Caitlin is doing well. After her terrible Tuesday, the rest of her week was fine. She was seizure free and able to get good work done at school and in therapy. We’re starting to really use her Dynavox, and she was also able to walk with assistance out into our yard this week.

We had a meeting with RAMP on Thursday in anticipation of the Wheel-a-thon next Saturday. I am very proud of our little Grand Marshall.

We are taking Caitlin to the movies for the first time today with her best friend, Lily. It is a showing of Ratatouille. All of the admissions are being donated to RAMP. It should be a lot of fun.

Everything else went well this week. Lynne was added to the editorial board of a journal. There are some other cool things going on in her career, but it’s too soon to talk about most of them. Suffice to say there is a lot of excitement around here. She is really doing some special stuff with her rare book department, and I am very proud of her.

I am in revision hell, mired in the process of editing an article, two short stories, and the first chunk of the novel. At least I have time before any of the deadlines hit.

Our registration is officially in for Windy Con and Fantasy Matters. Along with Geek.Kon and Chicago TARDIS, we have four cons before the end of the year. It should be fairly wild. So far, I’m only doing panels for Windy Con. Geek.Kon was a last minute thing, so it looks like we missed the window for panels. It might actually be refreshing to be back in the audience for a change.

We lost another Aicardi girl this week, and there’s another girl who’s probably going to pass in the next few days. Please keep them and their families in your thoughts and/or prayers.
