The vacation was much needed.  Although I couldn’t escape from the pain, I managed to find the space needed to rest, relax, and recoup from everything going on, so far, this year.  Now I am feeling renewed and as refreshed as possible with the weather changing and sending the arthritis into overdrive on the “I really hate you” front.  This, however, is normal.  I rather like “normal” sometimes.  

During the vacation, I’ve discovered that, although my Kindle is wonderful, it really can’t handle everything I do, want to do, or need to do, especially on the writing front.  If anyone uses a tablet to write on the go and take pictures, etc., could you share your tab!et choices and why you chose it?  I have looked at several, including a Samsung Galaxies E, which does seem to fit most of the criteria I have.  Does anyone out there use this particular one?

Now that i am back, there is a highdive into the ink mines!  Getting excited and nervous as the self-imposed deadline approaches.  Following through with the idea Cheyenne suggested has pushed the creativity.

In other, not so pleasant news:  We had to put our 19 year old

 Gabby down.  I really miss her.  What is worse is Sniffleshad to put Dot down just two weeks before.  The household is down to four dogs.  All boys.
