Three weeks in and I’m still doing PT and still writing every day. Still not writing Chelsea, but I did find myself thinking of her yesterday. Hopefully, soon, I’ll get the urge to finish her stuff. For now, I just keep writing. As for my physical health, I’m still in pain, but it’s reducing. It’s […]
I’m keeping up with both my writing and my physical therapy. The first week was so bad, PT-wise. I tried my “normal” and kicked my own ass. As this is supposed to be gentle, I scaled back for week two. Still got in most of my reps, but let myself fall short. It’s been over […]
The 9 to 5 reopened for the tourist season, and I’m back at work. I’m also doing the work. Since my back gave out, writing has been difficult. Constant pain makes it hard to think. Pain meds don’t really help in that regard. I’ve tried finding different places and times to write, but I can […]
Well, kind of. Which sucks because there are like four or five, maybe six more Chelsea stories. But I’m not writing. And I haven’t been. At first, I blamed the new puppy. Bruno was only 10 weeks old when he came to live with us in August, and he was a ton of work. But […]
Yesterday was tour groups, and today it’s people beating the heat. But what it means is that I seem to have no writing time at all, anywhere. This too shall pass. The heat is supposed to break this weekend, although it is fire season so who knows… Once we get this mailing done at work, […]
A road trip with two of her best friends, away from the grey ice of the city, had sounded amazing in the beginning. She loved living out of her car with her giant dog. Stopping when she was tired or wanted to explore, wandering in whatever direction she needed to go. Neither Keegan nor Andy had enjoyed the experience. All three of them had a tendency towards snark, but when the guys slid into snide on the third day, Chelsea gave in to Andy and followed the GPS.
I spent the Fourth as I traditionally do, painting and fixing up my house. I found a fabulous chest of drawers from the 70s that fits my living room perfectly. That in turn gave me motivation to work my end tables. I’m not done with those, but I made significant progress. Mostly though, I sat […]
I did remember to write my blog yesterday, what I lacked was anything to talk about. I’m writing in my head and not putting down words. And while that has always been part of my process, I didn’t feel like writing about that again. I wanted to actually talk about writing. Anyway, yes, I’m trying […]
Yes, I am. I got so much done today, and I’m finally sitting down to write. We’ll see how it works out. But I spent my day organizing, sanding, gardening and cleaning. I’m still doing small things in my kitchen, a truly endless project. And we’re trying a back porch garden, and we’re repotting refuse […]
While sitting down to write at 11 am on Mondays is starting to feel more natural, I’m having trouble finding the time at work. For one thing, I’m now used to reading in my down time at work. I’m reading like I used to do in middle school. It’s glorious. And very hard to give […]
