And now back to our regularly scheduled program...
It's taken a week, but I think I've finally come off from the post Dragon*con depression. No, wait. That's not the right word. It's the word all the D*C people are throwing around but that implies melancholy, sadness and longing. That's not what I had. I had more of a strange time with the incredibly surreal 4 days of D*C meeting abruptly with reality. Surreal vs Real. Do you know what I mean? It took me about a week to put the Xena costume & attributes away and embrace the real world again. Though I confess, there are moments that linger and likely will for a while.... and that's not a bad thing...
But.. Since I'm back in the real world, I thought I'd sum up a few things that are going on. Mostly because I'm in a good mood today and don't feel like jumping into the next work project just quite yet. My good mood has been helped immensely with the music I'm listening to (hence the comment on facebook for those who saw that). A coworker loaned me the Owl City cd "Ocean Eyes." I'm in love with it. it's fun and whimsical and catchy and quirky and more. I liken it to The Postal Service (whom I also love).
Here's the one Owl City song I've heard on the radio. (youtube won't give me the code to embed it today, sorry)
Last week I learned that my personal trainer was switching professions. Boo! I had been working with her since January and I liked her a lot, so I was sad to see her go. Fortunately she gave me the name of another trainer at my gym whom I met with last night. So far so good. I think he will work out well. I meet with him tomorrow for the first real session. I've signed up for 10 sessions with him, which is 1-2 times a week for the next 2 months. Yay me! Overall fitness is on track. I seriously fell off the wagon this summer, mostly due to being gone every other weekend for six weeks straight. Now I'm back on the straight and narrow and am already seeing some results.
In other really good news, I've been writing again! YAY!!! wheezinggirl and I started this story trade a few months ago and it's wakened all kinds of creativity in me. In fact, wheezinggirl you're in for a lengthy one this next round. I'm already 23 pages into it and still have quite the story to tell. It's sort of a War of the Worlds meets The Last Starfighter story that's based on a dream I had about a year ago. I have 3 short stories under my belt so far thanks to this (not counting the one I just mentioned) and it feels good. I think it means I will feel confident to jump back into the novel, Dreams Remembers, soon. Remember that? It's been ages since I mentioned it, I know. I actually have been thinking about it lately and what it is I don't like about the point I'm stuck at.
Ok, I could keep rambling, but I won't. I'll go back to listening to my whimsical cd and ride the wave for the rest of the day...
