Okay, not all hope. But we’d been optimistic that Wednesday would be Wisp’s last day in her leg bandage and cone of shame (without it that bandage would be gone). Nope: another week in the bandage, though the vet’s optimistic that will be enough. But then come three weeks or so keeping her indoors for her leg to build strength while limiting excess activity.
It’s frustrating because we don’t want both of us out of the house at the same time if we can avoid it; Wisp has occasionally gotten around the cone of shame to the bandage and we don’t want to make an emergency visit to get it replaced. Maybe after it comes off we can do something; if not, date nights will remain in-house. But she’s our cat, we’re not going to abandon her. Here she is sitting with Trixie. Not as chummy as it might look, it’s just that I got up while they were both snuggling with me.
On the plus side, Wisp is sleeping a lot longer at night which means I sleep longer. Not a full night’s sleep but enough I’m not such a zombie. As a result, I had the presence of mind to get creative work done this weel/
I finished a chapter of Let No Man Put Asunder and would have gotten more done except I have no idea what happens next. I gave Oh the Places You’ll Go another going over and it’s much improved, including the end. I’m not sure the ending is enough improved, but I can make this work, I know it now. I got some work done on Savage Adventures and started developing my promotional plans for Behold the Book. I have a page for the publishing imprint almost ready but I need to check the links first. I also reserved the domain name but haven’t set up the website at all yet.
I worked on a number of stories for The Local Reporter. I’m really surprised how few businesses call back; I know we’re not as big in relation to Chapel Hill as the Destin Log was to Destin but still, it’s not like we’re calling to ask about their criminal record or the rats in their kitchen. I did get one article done, on Crazy Alan’s Emporium, a gift and pen store. Way expensive pens like the $2,100 Emperor which comes in its own wooden box.
Elsewhere online, I appeared on a Con-Tinual panel on the Green Lantern Corps. Another on time travel movies, a subject I know something about. 
And one announcing 19-Infinity is live.
Over at Atomic Junkshop I posted my thoughts on John Romita and Spider-Man. Much as I love the Lee/Ditko era of Spider-Man, I’m acquiring fresh respect for Romita in my Silver Age reread.
I also blog about Green Lantern becoming an insurance adjuster and revisit those wacky musical adventurers the Maniaks.
And now the week is done. Enjoy your weekend off, everyone. I will!
