I’m 82 days into this new iteration and a lot has changed. Most of these changes are the result of season. We get out of the desert in the summer, so I move more by defailt. I’m moving a lot more. 5 miles today and I really was trying to take a day off. Tomorrow is a huge one and most of it involving hills. So, I’m giving my body the work it needs to become better. I re-started the daily workouts, if slowly. I am trying to build to a level of activity that will keep me alive and healthy over the next thiry or more years. I want the years. I want to be able to enjoy them. You don’t remarry at 50 to live a handful of crappy years. You do it to start a new life and in that life be able to enjoy exploring the world with the person you.
At least, that’s my take on it.
I’m tired and the words are coming slower than natural. It’s been a tough word day. 4 hours on a single chapter today. I got it done, but it took a ton out of me. It also was not the chapter I envisioned. It takes the story in a better direction, I hope, but I didn’t see it coming. This tells me the remaining edits are going to be tougher than envisions. I intend to get through all of that in the next 30-45 days max. I need to get this done and to the publisher. It’s been too long since the last one.
