My Nu went out into the world for the first time in four days… to Urgent Care with Big A where they spent hours waiting to be seen and then fell asleep in the triage room. They have pneumonia and now have antibiotics to help them get better. Fingers crossed.
Also, my cousin/aunt (depending on which branch of the family tree you follow) just published her novel--the first in a series of Neena Sundar mysteries titled A Pre-Med(itated) Murder. There's more on her homepage. I love how people I love are just going ahead and making their writing dreams come true.
I had a meeting with my publishers today and they talked me out of my post-election-panic-induced decision to write a new foreword to my book on trans rhetorics. They think it's time for this book to go out into the world. I don’t know… It feels like a very small hand raised against the coming deluge.
Pic: Baby Nu asleep at Urgent Care. This is somehow so characteristically our plucky Nu and yet so small, lonely, vulnerable... and now sickly—it made me sad. I’m so worried for the kids. StephLove mentioned her nightmares about having to shelter and save kids—that’s where I am too.

Good luck
I think it's time for your book too. Never a better time, really.
Congrats to your cousin/ aunt! What a great accomplishment! I shall pop over to their webpage now.
Pneumonia! Poor Nu. May the antibiotics help, and fast.
Poor Nu. I hope that rest and meds help quickly.
Your book is a soldier in the Battle for Good. Get it to the front.
I hope Nu is feeling better soon.
A friend of mine who has biracial kids were talking about the feeling that your kids are in the crosshairs. Yours are both trans and of color, so it must be even more worrying.
I hope they feel better soon!
Ugh, poor Nu! The good news is.... antibiotics should do the trick. And hooray for grandbaby coming home! That's big.
Small hands are important! I'm excited about your book, and also your cousin/aunt's book. Congrats to both of you.
Oh, man, I had pneumonia once and it was terrible. Good thoughts to Nu - may they get through this quickly and on to bigger and better things.
Thank you!
Thank you, Nicole. No fever today--I'm thankful!
Thank you, Nance. Nu needs more rest, but the fever, at least, seems to have broken.
Thanks, Steph. Yes, everyone seems vulnerable and my kids seem a bit extra visible to boot :)
Thanks, Daria!
Thanks, Jenny! Antibiotics did indeed do the trick... and I found myself wondering if things would change drastically under RFK!
Thanks, Engie. They're verging on truancy now, but they're so feeble now, that they really do need more time off school...
