Or so I hope. The weekend was not as productive as I had hoped. Sleep over took most of it. There was some editing and housework in between naps. Bring my novella to a conclusion has proven far harder than I imagined and that is without the cold or the impending state testing. My students …

The Great Hospital Adventure
Thursday night, oh, how I remember you. I was feeling slightly sick and just wanted to find my way to being tucked in nicely to bed with Luke at my side and Jack laying like a king on the pillow next to me. Truthfully, I was exhausted and feeling sorry for myself. Sonia, one of …
