I’m behind on like six projects. So, 90 percent of my weekend was spent researching and writing. I’m legitimately concerned I’m developing arthritis in my right hand from typing.

So, other than my kind friend Jenn, who offered me a brief reprieve for wine and human conversation on her porch on Saturday night, I spent most of my weekend with these two characters for company. Luckily, I happen to think they’re the best company.

(Sidenote: In case you were wondering about what’s going on with Pawley’s weird shaved neck, she had surgery a few weeks ago to remove a giant tumor on her trachea. She’s recovering nicely and actually looks much thinner without the huge lump of fat under her chin. It’s basically like I got my dog a neck lift. Rosie has requested a tummy tuck be next.)
