This will likely be another very short post.
Little Miss started vomiting Wed afternoon and by Friday morning everyone in the house was sick. I got it the least - never progressed beyond miserable-glurgly probably because I am almost OCD about hand washing - but after a trip to the doc, 2 prescriptions, 3 bottles of Pedialyte and I dunno how much cleaning solution used up on the couch, carpets and floor, we're all on the mend. Not sure if the couch will ever fully recover, but we're hopeful. A full steam-clean is on schedule for tomorrow.
That took up most of my week, honestly, either being sick or caring for a houseful of sickies (since I was the only one in any condition to drive, cook, or do laundry... Gak, the LAUNDRY!!), but it wasn't a total wash of a week. Bill and I celebrated (sort of, if you count napping all day and eating nothing stronger than chicken broth) our 24th anniversary and I heard back about SPORE. She called to say she loved it, very excited and enthusiastic, and it - and Morgan - are off to the 'big guy' for reading and potential final approval. I am not only excited to have found a potentially interested agency but incredibly relieved that two mainstream novels I wrote as myself, with my voice, my subject matter, my vision, and my unfettered intent are - so far at least - understood and appreciated for what and how they are. While I didn't mind the work involved when I had to gut and totally re-do two of the Dubric novels, it did make me doubt my abilities as a writer quite a lot. So, even if the ultimate answer in this process is a no, I'm still thankful that I'm doing my job correctly and not merely spinning my wheels, if that makes sense.
Oh! I passed 16lbs lost with WW before I got sick, so yay for that, too! Does anyone have any thoughts about the 360˚ program expansion? I went ahead and bought the 'expansion kit' at the meeting and I really like the handbook.
That's all I have. Probably should take another nap. Have a great week, everyone!

Congrats on your WW success! And hurray for exciting news for Spore and Morgan. Fingers crossed it gets even better. Hope everybody feels better this week.
Congrats on the anniversary and the writing stuff. So glad to hear you've had some good news. I know what you mean about not spinning your wheels. I'm trying to get out of that myself.
Sorry you're feeling poorly, but excited by your weight loss. You're doing awesome on that. You're inspiring me to recommit to my health goals.
Can't wait to see Spore on the shelves. That's going to be awesome! Cause I can say I know you. :)
Congrats on the anniversary!
