It's nice to be on break. It's especially nice that DST started while on break, which means I get a chance to get used to it before it really matters. Yay ( Read more... )

One of the things I have promised myself this year is that if I haven't gotten my steps in, I have to write in the journal. Hopefully that won't mean I ONLY write in this thing on those days, but it's a step in getting myself to write more. I figure, if by 7 I haven't gotten even close to my step goal, that means I must write ( Read more... )

The summer officially ended on Wednesday. It was back to full days of work (or "retreat" which is still not as fun as it sounds like it should be) and this Wednesday is when classes start. Monday and Tuesday are for getting the new students registered and confirmed with classes ( Read more... )

Music was the thing and music is just what I need to get writing ( Read more... )

Oh the difference a day makes! Not sure what yesterday was all about. Again to the 24 hour depression bug? I dunno. But no issues today ( Read more... )

Shoulder pain today has been relegated to being under the shoulder blade. Which is annoying in that it's not so painful that I would take something (which I really don't mind) but it's also in a place that heat can't exactly permeate. I feel like if I could just push a pen or something under the blade and give it a good scratch, all would be good ( Read more... )
