Health Update

So it looks like podcasting will be sporadic for a few weeks yet. I'm so sorry about this! I'd wanted to host an interview today and fell asleep. They've got me on Prednisone for the (infernal) asthma. Yes, it's post-9/11 lung fun. Yes, it should get better. No, Prednisone does not like me. But it does seem to like my lungs...or my lungs like it. I'm breathing better but I'm feeling very VERY vague.

The DH prefers vague to hacking up a lung. I think I'm with him on that.

My goal is to record this weekend. As always, though, I'll keep you posted.

While you're waiting, take a look at www.DVzine.org. OH! and I'm waaaay behind, but I've hit 10,000 words on my NaNoWriMo novel.
YAY!

Off to rest again.

O Dear...

I have laryngitis. I've had it since Tuesday. I have no idea what this will mean for all of us...but...My fingers are crossed that I'll be able to record tomorrow.

Think happy thoughts...

Update, Dateline, Nov 3:
I can talk but only for about 10 minutes at a time. I'm going to start putting the 'Cast together in bits and pieces and we'll hope it'll be done by the usual weekday.

The doctors have no idea what's wrong with me.

At times like this I wish I smoked so I'd at least have an excuse. Of course, the scary excuse is this one.

Newsflash!

Sad news.
A sorority sister of mine (long story for later) just found out that her husband, the sold breadwinner of her family, has pancreatic cancer.

I don't have to tell you what this means, right?

He is undergoing chemo, but their insurance sitatuion is tenuous. He's a freelance writer.

PLEASE, check out their auction. Friends, family, strangers, are all donating things for them to auction to support the family in this horrible time.

If you see something you like, please bid. If you'd like to donate something or some service, please contact me at MamaOKnits [at] gmail [dot] com.

And thank you for your understanding. I wouldn't come to you like this if it weren't serious.

Oh.

And my maiden name was Hutchinson. They don't know me from Ordover.

HomeLife Intrudes

I'm so sorry, but this week's podcast is just not going to make it out of my head. I'm dealing with some sticky family stuff and need the week to get my sea legs, so to speak. Don't want to short-change you or Dickens. So, the next installment will be on March 1, 2007.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.

I've Been Tagged!

Liana at SewIntriguing just tagged me. So as not to take up space here, I've moved my tagging to my other Blog, Mama O Knits Too Much.

Thanks Liana!

Where'd She Go???

Shortly I'll be uploading pix of the boxes that I'm buried under. I just dug the computer out of the melee. Forgive me, but I'm not at all sure when the next 'Cast is going to get up. It may have to wait until next Thursday. We didn't get possession of the house until 48 hours after we were supposed to have keys, so...painting the entire house had to be completed in about two days.

There were two of us.

I'm sleepy.

And I don't know where the mic is.

Soon, though. As soon as possible...

Thank you for your forbearance. Until then, dream of odd governesses and corrupted youth.

Anon,
Heather

So Sorry...

But I really must enjoy my husband for a bit longer.

I should be back with you by Monday...and then, the screw will turn!

Technical Difficulties

While the podcast is ready to go, the internet connection here isn't. I'm uploading about 4 KB a minute. It's going to take 181 minutes to upload the 'cast--if the computer doesn't stall again.

So...

Soon...

AGAIN: Please Stand By...

Sorry!

Technical difficulties.

Should be up by Friday.

Many apologies!

PLEASE STAND BY

Sorry!
Technical difficulties. The 'Cast seized my computer. Should be fixed later today (Friday).

Many apologies!
