Continuing on the "Bad things come in 3's" from the previous post, I'm not sure if the 3rd bad thing has come or not.
Is the 3rd bad thing the fact that my editor (who promised her edits on The Dungeons of Cetahl "no later than January 20") has gone MIA? She has not responded to any email or phone call. It is totally out of character and I'm not sure what is going on. I feel bad for whatever she must be going through, but I'm also stuck in an awkward holding pattern not knowing when - or if - I will ever hear from her again. I finally had to email her saying that I will consider our agreement null and void if I don't hear from her by February 1. Sigh.
Or is the 3rd bad thing the fact that my youngest dog - within the span of days - was (1) diagnosed with extremely dilute urine, with the most likely culprit being diabetes insipidus (the kind you can't treat); and (2) got into the garbage and ate an entire cooked chicken carcass, and proceeded to vomit and have diarrhea all over our house while my husband and I were out at an eye doctor's appointment? She was taken to the vet and is now on medicine and seems to be fine...time will tell.
As annoying as these things are...they seem trivial compared to the death of my grandfather and my high school friend. Still, this year has not gotten off to a very good start. Double sigh. :(

Not the Best Start to the New Year
After a long battle with congestive heart failure and kidney disease, my beloved grandfather passed away on January 5 with my grandmother by his side. At 6'2" and over 200 lbs, my grandfather was - literally and figuratively - a large presence in my life. His passing has left a large hole. RIP Grandaddy! We miss you!
My grandfather's death, while painful, was expected. The death of a friend from middle/high school was not. Her death was a senseless act of violence that left five children without a mother, three of whom are still in elementary school. It is beyond heartbreaking. RIP Casey :(

I'm not very superstitious, but I would be lying if I did not admit I am a little unsettled by age-old saying that "bad things come in 3's." Sigh.
