(to-do/personal/writing) Recovery, Day 2

Yep, came home with con crud despite my best intentions. It’s a good one too – knocked me for a loop this week, and I’m just feeling human today. Sort of. I’m going to take it easy and not do everything I was planning on, just so I don’t end up sick again. This means …

So yesterday, I got three of the four things on my list done. AND I got 156 words written on the unnamed novella, and did my Morning Pages. Today, even though I slept until 11 am (sigh), I did my Morning Pages, and I’m feeling pretty good. Heading out in a bit to go to …

(writing/personal/to-do) Let me give you stars….

Yes, I’m listening to show tunes today. I’d forgotten how much I love to show tunes. I’ve been running so much this week that I ended up coming home early from work (a combination of exhaustion and eating something that didn’t agree with my system at the pot luck at work) and I was asleep …

It gets harder to get up in the morning, and the cats don’t help, because despite …

(to-do) Batten down the hatches, boys, a storm’s coming through!

Yep, Tropical Storm Irene has finally wallowed her way up here to New England. Yay. She’s supposed to blow through by tonight – I can’t wait. My head can’t wait. *sigh* But I’ve been inactive pretty much all weekend, and although my head still hurts, I’m BORED. So today, I’m going to do what I …

(writing) Craft stuff, creativity and editing

It’s been a good day. I’m tired, but it’s still been a good day. I didn’t get stuff done in the house (guilt) but I did get stuff down out of the house. Got the shopping for this weekend done, got the Pumpkin’s birthday present, swam a mile and saw my nutritionist. Tonight, since he’s …

(to-do) The last day of vacation

Sigh. It’s a sad, sad day, the last day of vacation. But I’ve had a wonderful vacation. I finished the plot summary for the Sapph novella (which needs a title) and started writing the first draft. I went to Pennsic and relaxed with friends and my wonderful hubby. Now, I’m home, dealing with my CSA …
