A personal note:

Today was the day to finally recover my writing schedule. No such luck as it turns out. 3 weeks of construction (successful) and 2 weeks of being sick turns out to have been all I could accomplish in the last few weeks. I did save some money hauling, cleaning, and fetching on the projects; and they were things I could do even as my brain was too fritzed by the virus to write. (Though being sick probably made me more vulnerable to spraining my back last Monday.)

But I lost this morning to chores, research on the next project (the broken air conditioner), and family tasks. Well, I’ll keep trying. Tomorrow will be the day.

Other good/bad news was that I lost 3 pounds last week and it was likely the muscle I had spent the winter building….poof! But the last winter storm is bashing us today, the trees in the midst of their green unfurling, and the garden is beginning to recapture some shape after its severe winter-shorn look.

So tomorrow (if I can ignore the repair/fixup/cleaning issues in the house)…..for sure.
