It’s been a weird couple of months. On the one hand, it’s full of awful anniversaries, and I think I would be happier if I could just skip February and March every year, and go directly into April. However, that’s not a superpower I have, so I guess I’m going to have to learn to live with it.

On the other hand, other than a few crises that were managed, February didn’t TOTALLY suck. I’ve continued my poetry every day on my Facebook page, and I’m still picking away at Molly. I’m also working on a secret project that I’ll be able to post more about soon, and looking forward to writing something other than Carter’s Cove for a bit.

Tomorrow I start my second successful round of Whole30, in preparation for the very busy spring, summer, and fall that I have planned. No cons, which is weird (I don’t remember the last time I didn’t go to ANY cons in a year), but I’ve got a bunch of SCA events coming up, including Pennsic!! And then in the fall, I’m headed over to England and Ireland and Scotland for 2 weeks.

I need to lose more weight and get back into shape. Otherwise I’ll never be able to do what I want to this year. I want to fence at Pennsic. I want to be able to walk all around London and Edinburgh and Cork. And I really, really, really want my knees to stop hurting.

So yeah, that’s the state of the Val right now.
