Ups and Downs

On the plus side, I've finished my third novel. On the down side, our son has been officially diaognosed as autistic. I had expected something like it, but actually hearing it was somewhat, I expect though I've never actually experienced it, like having your heart ripped from your chest and repeatedly stomped on. Yet...life goes on. Luke is still Luke. Wonderful, brilliant and weird. I keep on doing what I've always done, and somehow the shock fades into the background.

Right now I'm enraged by computers, as we have been repeatedly foiled in our attempts to print out pictures for our Christmas letters. Maybe we'll finally get them sent sometime after New Year's. Well, Happy Holidays.
