I happily blame Heloise and her biographer for spilling half a mug of coffee on my keyboard. Now, obviously, having coffee in front of me while reading is entirely my fault. But having written a story that makes me lean over in anticipation, and knock the mug, *that* is credit to the writer.

PS: Not much sugar, so I hope it will just dry up and I don't have to take apart the whole keyboard (like when I spilled some coke...)

PS2: In the picture, the cat and Heloise are touching noses? Can you tell us more about that?

LOL, now THAT is a true compliment. Thank you. Hope the keyboard survives.

I know the photo looks like they are touching noses, but there is a glass door between them. Unable to smell one another, it took them a few moments to realize their enemy was inches away and begin hissing and growling. I had no idea my little cat could sound so menacing :-) At this point though, I feel like both Heloise and the cats are just keeping up appearances. Neither is much impressed with the other and it takes a lot of energy to get worked up enough to hiss and growl. Still, I think I’ll keep the door closed.

Heloise is not your spirit guide, Jena. Heloise is your friend.
