Errrrrg. Ugh

I got sick yesterday.  And I still don't feel too good today.  I didn't do anything yesterday but lay in bed and moan and groan and sleep and puke ... until about 1 p.m. when I needed a change of pace so I moved to the couch and moaned and groaned and only slept a little.  Woke up at 4:30 a.m. and got up, ate 4 crackers and read for a while and thought I felt pretty good.  Went back to bed at 6 a.m. and slept til 7, went back to sleep til 7:30 and woke up this time feeling pretty damn awful.  Plus I was having a horrid dream where I kept losing things ... important things, too, like my car and HUNTER!  (eek) I'd find one and then lose the other, a bunch of running around and all these people! in the dream that I don't know!  I think the dream is making me feel the worse of all.  

So now I'm in the recliner with my beloved laptop and catching up on emails.  Have one happy happy report if it turns out  ... my story I subbed the other day, "Willful Steel" is being held for consideration.  I'd do a happy dance but I'm afraid that would jinx it.  Probably even announcing here that it's held will jinx it.  So .... shhhhh.

Another story that's been at Hub for 4-5 months was rejected.  It did make it to second round and garnered a "very good" rating, but not good enough for publication, alas.  RATS!  Those almost-made-its are tough.

Ok that's all I can manage for today.  I'm off to do some crittin' for you-know-who.  Better late than never, right?
