Back to school, Nanay, Dude where is my muse?

Yesterday was the first day back to school for Palm Beach County students. Once again, I'm parent to a female High School school student. I better keep the rock salt loaded shotgun handy to chase the boys off.

My mother-in-law(Nanay) was admitted to the hospital today. She had a pet scan on Monday and the results showed her thyroid cancer has metastasized to the spine. She's had stage IV cancer since 2006 but this doesn't sound good.

I started to write DHCF again yesterday. Over the previous six weeks I don't think I wrote 300 words. The kids were home for the summer and my muse was stuck in the mud over a couple of scenes. Yesterday I wrote over 300 words. It's a start and I'm optimistic unless Nanay's health rapidly declines.
