One Year! Well, yesterday…(Sept. 09, 2026)

September 9, 2026

Crazy busy week with the most important thing being our little old lady dog, Evie, had a checkup scan yesterday and hooray! Cancer free, still! That’s the important thing but we were so worried about it that I forgot an important milestone yesterday…one year since I unleashed my little book, The Ghastly Crook Richies, onto the world!

Little Reaper…I DO need to discuss your work this year…

So that’s why there’s no new Randomly Drawn this week. Things may be weird for the next couple of weeks as I ready for a 5K and the zoo appearance I announced yesterday. (I also have a dino submission due on Thursday but you’ll get to see it soon enough!)

I hope you’re having a good week. It seems like it MIGHT be cooling off. Maybe? Man, I hope. Summer is getting BAD. Have a good rest of the week!
