ConTagion and assorted things:
My Father-in-Law was admitted to hospice yesterday. I will not be able to attend ConTagion. You will contacted by the Con Chair in the next few hours with info and options, if you are signed up for my seminar. A FAB seminar is being presented in its stead, by the wonderful, talented professional writer, editor, and writing-mentor, Misty Massey. I hope you will give it a shot. You will NOT be disappointed.
 
My mother has been quite sick for the last 3 weeks. In and out of hospital and with LOTS of doctor visits.
 
I am also having a MEGA-histamine reaction / stress-reaction to poison-ivy (yes it’s PI. Yes I know it’s supposed to be dormant, no medical advice needed). I am doped to the gills on steroids and Benadryl and am going to be fine.
 
If I have missed a post, not commented on a post, not returned a call, or not replied to a DM, please don’t take it personally. I love my fans and friends but I am feeling overwhelmed.
 
I will be off Facebook for the next several days. If you simply feel you MUST contact me, please do not expect a reply. I am currently getting ready to sit down with a cuppa chai and stare out the window like a little old lady. I might even be under a heated electric blanket. Maybe eating vanilla wafers… (cross-posted)
