I also found a dollhouse roll-top desk to sit on my antique rolltop desk and a restrung Bakelite bracelet in turquoise.  Oh, yes, and three prints that I'll photograph tomorrow.

• Wrote a book, Cleave, that won the Trio Award and came out in March 2018;  
• Started a novel after writing short stories for Dale Ray Phillips' Forms of Fiction class; 
• Assembled a chapbook, Backtalk, that's currently making the rounds; 
• Reroofed my Queen Anne and started trying to repair the damage left by raccoons; 
• Adopted Rhett the Wonder Cat, AKA The Baby, who came from Ohio on a Best Buy truck.
