These used to be turnbacks. I used to go through old blogs at specific dates and try to see where I was then. I’m working on being where my feet are at, and right now my feet are feeling sore yet successful. I walked ten and a half miles today. This is becoming ordinary this summer–further proof I am no longer in the desert. I also finished my second short story in three days, which is impressive considering I had barely 200 words on each last week. So, I’m getting back to it. The engine is turning. The gears are oiling up. I’m starting to get to a place where I can be a productive member of the writing world and someone whose health is a priority. I don’t want to turn back right now. I want to be where I am at and build from it.
I want to get in the gym. I want to get back to stretching. I want to love what I am writing. I want all of these things and I feel like I am in a place in my life and with the partner who can help me make it happen. I’m not fighting against everything else anymore. I’m in a healthy space and things are starting to turn.
Some Thoughts:
- Absolutely Bonkers Headline of the Day: “A chilling Romanian exhibition replays videotaped secret police interrogations from 1989” I could have chosen a lot of other ones, but this is, well, bonkers.
- Tough talks with the kid coming. The main one: trying to listen to him understand why he decided to take all his official visits with his mom and basically sideline me and the Lady Talis through this entire process. It’s trash to be sure. I think I know the reason. I think he did it for his mom–to make her feel comfortable and give her the spotlight. I just don’t know why.
- Few more minutes on the clock and nothing really left to say. I could talk about soccer, but I don’t entirely care that much. I want to care a little more. I want to care more about that than the politics I still follow. I can’t do anything about either but cheer.
