On the one hand, it&#8217;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&#8217;s not a superpower I have, so I guess I&#8217;m going to have to learn to live with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, other than a few crises that were managed, February didn&#8217;t TOTALLY suck. I&#8217;ve continued my poetry every day on my Facebook page, and I&#8217;m still picking away at Molly. I&#8217;m also working on a secret project that I&#8217;ll be able to post more about soon, and looking forward to writing something other than Carter&#8217;s Cove for a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"660\" height=\"330\" src=\"https:\/\/vg-ford.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/whole30.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1912\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vg-ford.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/whole30.png 660w, https:\/\/vg-ford.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/whole30-150x75.png 150w, https:\/\/vg-ford.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/whole30-300x150.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>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&#8217;t remember the last time I didn&#8217;t go to ANY cons in a year), but I&#8217;ve got a bunch of SCA events coming up, including Pennsic!! And then in the fall, I&#8217;m headed over to England and Ireland and Scotland for 2 weeks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I need to lose more weight and get back into shape. Otherwise I&#8217;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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So yeah, that&#8217;s the state of the Val right now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s been a weird couple of months.
