Am I really done?
Aug. 19th, 2018 10:54 amLike Phyncke, I too skipped all the whining and flailing on LJ over the story writing process, although neither one of us really skipped it. It just wasn't on LJ. We're in the same time zone and we chat or text virtually every day, even if it's only to check up on each other, so we did lots of whining there. I do have to say, I haven't been able to complete a story so rapidly in years. For the first time in ages, it felt like the muses had returned. What a nice feeling.
I'm still doing Weight Watchers, 4 years down the road, and still keeping off the 100 lbs I lost. I see a personal trainer once a week who is just wonderful for people, shall we say, of a certain age. She tells me I'm doing burpees, even though I touch a stool instead of the floor, and sit-ups, even though there's a pilates ball under my back. The important thing is it's all working and I've gotten a lot stronger. Doing squats I'm sure has made a big difference (again modified because I hold onto a bar for balance). Definitely helps with leg strength. The proof was when I tripped over a cord and managed to get up off the floor within 15 seconds (after the pain stopped, that is.)
Work continues - Lots and lots of projects in the hopper, about 4 of them with my name on them. Keeping me out of trouble for sure.
It's been miserable hot here and we had several days of everything covered in ash and smoky skies from all the fires. I really do hate this time of year because of the fires.
Hope you're all doing well! Miss you all.
