Katya Graymalkin here.
Mom is getting antsy, even though I keep telling her to stay calm. The weather seems to be turning less freezing, so she’s looking forward to the Farmers’ Market. Also, now is the time she starts dithering about whether to go into the woods to look for mushrooms. She wants to go early enough to be sure she doesn’t miss any early ones, and she wants to get in and out before the ticks and snakes are active.
It’s also the beginning of convention season, when she drives out to events and stays in hotels to sell her books. Driving makes her nervous. Staying away from home makes her nervous. Talking to strangers makes her nervous. Trying to sell things makes her nervous.
As I said, she’s getting antsy.
So I went online to PicMonkey and made this for her. 
A WRITING PROMPT FOR ANIMALS: How do you calm your human?

March 9, 2014 at 10:36amI just read in the paper that there is a Comic Con coming right here in Louisville direct from Wizard World. It is a REAALLy big show! And it’s at the end of this month! How did that happen??

March 9, 2014 at 1:08pmI guess it happened as a result of Fandom Fest pulling in so many attendees. Comic Con probably decided to split off and do their own thing.
