What have I been up to lately? Not sleeping, that's for sure!
The disaster kittens went off to the SPCA, and then I picked up this baby:
His front legs were messed up — I'm not exactly sure what was going on, but I suspect trauma, maybe caused by the placenta getting tangled up. So I had him for a couple of days until he went off to a rescue group that has cats with wonky legs. (Yes, there's a rescue niche for everything.)
He was almost immediately replaced by these two:
They were about two days old when I got them, which means I've been feeding them every two hours (give or take) around the clock. After latching onto the bottle beautifully for the first day, the tabby girl has since decided she doesn't like the bottle anymore, so now she's getting tube-fed. Because not eating isn't an option when you're a few days old.
And, of course, I have already splattered formula everywhere when the tube came off the syringe while I was feeding her.
Anyhow... Have I released the fun audio that Maria Schneider and I did recently? No. Have I uploaded my short story collection to all the retailers yet? No. Have I even finished writing the second digital bonus for my Patreon supporters? Also no.
But someday soon I'm going to get a full night of sleep, and then — watch out world!
Oh...dear. You have your hands too full again!!! Those kittens will perk up in no time. Not soon enough, I know. And hey, we'll never catch up anyway, so may as well just keep on jogging slowly behind everyone else. We're looking forward to the short stories. I have the two I'm working on. They are edited, but not formatted and I need to do a cover. I had planned to release them as audio done with my brother (fabulous voice) but he went and got a JOB already. (He was laid off at the end of March). So I think it will be an ebook. I'll be watching for yours to come out and tell all my newsletter readers!
