This Post Needs a Title

Yes, I know, it's been more than a week but...

Wait. I seem to remember writing something like that that last time. I guess there's no need for me to finish writing it this time then cause you know where I was going. :)

Not a lot has actually been happening. I've slowly been getting into writing, though not the new book. I'm working on the next draft of The Brightest Light which is a good thing, really. Obviously I'm two drafts closer to the end of that than anything else I have at the moment. And, obviously, Orbit still hasn't gotten back to me about Songs of Other Worlds. It has only been about four months so I don't have any reason for complaining yet.

Kel is moving forward with the home daycare thing. She's been busy typing away--personal philosophies and price structures and stuff like that to give to parents. I think she is kinda looking forward to it.

We took Pip to the vet the other day. Apparently there's a chance she has hip dysplasia. That's something that can't be treated except, eventually, with an expensive hip replacement, so let's hope it's something else. We'll be taking her back for x-rays in a couple of months.
In the mean time she's still going through her digging/chewing phase. It's great.

Bayli is going great. The wind isn't as bad as it was-- whether that's because Kel is eating less wheat (thanks for the tip Nicky) or because she's starting to outgrow it is impossible to tell. She's been lying on my knees for the last half an hour happily chatting away and now, all of a sudden, she's started crying for no apparent reason.

The lounge room has been completed. It's done. Well, all but done. Close enough. It's actually been done for a few weeks but we wanted to surprise grandparents with it. Kel's folks have seen it and mine are gallivanting somewhere up near Charters Towers, on their way back from visiting Deb on Lizard Island.

And while they're gallivanting we'll be staying at their house. The Abbey Tournament is on this weekend so we'll be staying there on Saturday night so we only have 1/2 hour or so to drive to the Tourney on Sunday. We will be meeting Josh, Leanne, Hagan, Connor and Cullyn there.

I may have discovered the reason for Bayli's crying... And that reason smells a little bit like poo. I think I may have a job to do...
