My husband bought me a little green machine to help combat my two dogs that feel the house is fair game for their potty breaks. It is small enough that I can lift it. Which is always good when one has arthritis and muscles that forget their function. I tried it out and it's easy to use. Clean-up of the machine and attachments is easy, too.

Tomorrow is the Coshocton Writers Conference. I am looking forward to going. This will be my first writing conference, though I have been to many conferences as a social worker. This time I will be taking notes, where as in the past I was there for the certificates. I know that sounds bad, but I rarely attended a conference that gave me new information. I am sure that the writers conference will be very different.

April Poetry Month is almost over. I have managed to write a poem daily. I feel proud of myself. I know many of the poems need to be polished, but I did put pen to paper and write them.

Tomorrow is the 24 hour short story writing contest. I have entered this too. I didn't look at my calender until after I had signed up. So when I return from the conference, I will be writing. As well, as writing the poem for tomorrow.

I like being busy.

I have been to Chilli town and back again today. I had four reasons to go there.

1. To see my family.

2. To have my annual birthday lunch with my sister... We take my brother and his wife, too. Our birthdays are within three days of each other. Or as Karen says, "A year and three days. You're older!"

3. To pick up Dinny. He went for a visit with my brother for his 16 year old's birthday wish. Din used to be their dog, but circumstances not under our control made Din mine. Boy did I miss him. Yes, in a house with three other dogs and two cats, it is still possible to miss one. Plus, my house was much too quiet.

4. I needed to choose a kitten for my husband. All five were so cute. I ended up choosing the two dark ones. We will be calling them Renegade and Artemis or Ren and Artie for short.
