home again

I’m home from Calgary.  Happy and tired.  Porcupine sold out which was nice, but I felt bad for the people who wanted to buy it at my last two events.  Felt sorry for the bookstore too though.  Must be hard to know how much to order of any one book.  Especially when you’re dealing with 80 authors!

My boy and husband are at the Canucks game and it’s the end of the first period and the Canucks are ahead.  They called me in the break and sounded really happy.  The dogs did a crazy celebration dance when I walked in the door.  You’d think I’d been gone for way longer than five days!  Funny dogs.  Sure make you feel appreciated.  They are still dancing about, squeaking their finest toys all around my writing room even though I’ve been home for 45 minutes.  Oh, now Molly’s collapsed on the floor by my desk and is pretending she’s a rug.  It’s funny how they do that sometimes.  Flatten out, seem to lose all their bones.

Well, I suppose I ought to unpack, take a nice hot bath and climb into my bed.  I really am happy to be home.
