Wooster cat still sniffly and stuffy and sick. He is not eating much--we gave him chicken last night. He loves chicken. David had to hand feed him while he lay in his lap. It was so pathetic.

I'm having a capsule endoscopy tomorrow so no food today and lovely prep this evening. The prep is always the worst part of this.

I cut 25,000 words out of the middle of my ms yesterday. I'm reordering some of the chapters and making some changes I hope will solve pacing problems in the first half of the novel. When I put a few chapters back I should only have about ten thousand words and that will drop my ms back into the 75-80k word range. I really wanted to be done with this editing by the end of the month. I guess its not impossible, but it's going to be close.

Oh no, poor Wooster. And poor you! But at least it's the capsule endoscopy instead of the other kind? The prep is still horrific, but...small blessings on the procedure?

Yeah, no anasthesia or IV. The prep just... UGH.

I just talked to the vet. If he isn't better we're going to have to take him in for an office visit tomorrow.

Sounds like a plan. If the poor boy feels this icky, he may need some treatment and/or electrolytes.

I was around for my mother's first prep experience. OH GOD THE HORRORS.

I only have to take half the amount needed for a colonoscopy so that's good. I have had two of those and a regular endoscopy in the last year. This will be my first capsule endoscopy.

I hope your mom is OK. Does she have Crohn's or IBS?

Phew, half the amount is good. You'll only eliminate half of everything you've ever eaten!

*hugs*

Nope, neither. Colonoscopy. She's of that age.

I hope Wooster cat feels better soon! *sends him internet huggles*

When you're done with revisions, I'm happy to look at the new draft as well! I'm excited for you. <3

I'm chopping and chopping and it never feels like enough.
