Hrm. If weekly updates are all I can manage these days, then weekly updates are all I can manage these days.

To be fair, last week took some unexpected turns, the biggest one being Leland’s trip to the emergency room on Wednesday night. He’s fine now, but as you can imagine, it was a scary affair. Leland has lived with asthma his entire life, but it’s all new to me. And hey, finding my husband in front of our apartment at 10 p.m., wheezing and pissed because he can’t get a cab… well, that’ll get my dander up.

They saw us almost on the spot. That’s what really got me. A 15 minute emergency room wait in Brooklyn? Must’ve been an emergency.

We followed it up the next day with a trip to the doctor, who took good care of us and loaded us up with supplies. I liked him. He even had notes on me in Leland’s files. “‘Wife is a knitter.’ Do you still knit?” A thank-you note and perhaps an offer of copywriting might be in order.

We treated ourselves to a trip to Argosy when it was all over. Bought Ms. Nesbit’s collection of Shakespeare for children.

What else? A grand party with the Entelechy Girls and friends on Saturday. Reading MAKE WAY FOR DUCKLINGS to little Evie and her friend Lucy. Made me smile. My father read Robert McCloskey books to me all the time when I was three and a half. I, in turn, would read them to my mother.

Other than that, just working and more working. Tagged along to Deep 6 yesterday and spent 4 hours plotting my next comics project. And I actually got it done! Haha! Who says I can’t write with crazy cartoonists in the room? I can’t really write in a room full of cartoonists talking to one another. But I can plot, apparently.

Anyone else catch the first part of the new Ken Burns documentary last night?
