Quick Weekend

The weekend went by too quickly. Partly due to a writing group session and a small wine party afterwards.  Partly due to coming down with yet another cold and a migraine.

The good part of the weekend involved a writing group session, meeting up with fellow writers and going over new material. Then a get-together with some folks from grad school. It was an evening of catching up, talking about the craft of writing and more than a few laughs.  It was exactly what we all needed. It made me very aware of that part of me that I've been neglecting lately. My day job has been taking up too much head space leaving me pretty blank by day's end.  I've neglected journalling, writing blogs, and the novel.  No wonder I'm feeling so stressed and out-of-sorts.  The plan is to get back on track. More writing every day.  Did some writing today and I've started to feel sane, I think.  Can't really remember what sane feels like so I'll pretend that I do until it's true.  :-)

Still sick though.  I've been fighting the same cold for the past three weeks.  It seems to be getting the best of me unfortunately.  Add another layer with a splitting migraine and I was not a happy camper. I didn't even drink at the wine party which makes it doubly frustrating. Anyway, lots of rest and hiding under my duvet. Today the migraine is mostly gone but the cold lingers.

That's all I have for today.

Peace,

Two quick sentences

The rest of my Saturday consisted of taking a long walk in the park, reading in the sun, a decent soy latte and drinks with a good friend.  Pandora is doing better by the hour and I can sleep well tonight.

What Next?

It's a mild Saturday in October.  I was out in the backyard sipping a mugful of black tea listening to the wind move through the tree leaves. Listening to the birds sing across the span. I had to force myself to just stay there and enjoy it.  I've been stressed out and antsy because of my sick kitty.  She's on the mend but it was touch and go for the past two days. I had a long weekend trip planned out away from the city but that was cancelled.  I am relieved that Pandora is doing better and today she stepped out into the backyard to get some sun too.  A very good sign for a kitty who hasn't left my room nor my side for the past two days.  I know she is getting older and one day soon she's going to pass from this life but I am so grateful she's doing better.

I'm a little unsure of what I'm going to do next today.  Perhaps I'll start off with a shower and see where my day takes me.

Peace,
