Brief updates

Copy edits for Cobble Stones are done. I’ve got a cover draft done. Schlock book layout is done. Up ahead are Cobble Stones back cover copy, Cobble Stones page layout, preparation and packing for a family trip. This next week is spring break. It is going to be an internet light week for me. I’ve got to meet deadlines and then spend focused time with family. Our trip location does have internet, but I’ll have to access it via my phone, which doesn’t allow blogging, or via my little laptop, which is currently limping along. When I get back from the trip I’ll probably have lots to say and some lovely pictures to go with the words.

In other news: my grandma is doing well. She’s been moved from the hospital into a rehabilitation facility where they’ll be helping her practice walking on her newly-pinned and healing leg. She’ll probably be back at my parent’s house in two weeks. The customs issue is completely resolved and the packages delivered. Patch’s book project is complete and turned in. The kid drama has also calmed down considerably. Having a week off from school is going to be really good for everyone.
