My student tonight called to say she couldn't show up for our appointment, so I'm just relaxing for the day. I've been under a lot of stress recently so today is completely what I needed.
Sometimes I still feel like there's too much to take in but I think I'm starting to regain some hint of control. That's a relief, at least.
I've been reading a ton of poetry lately. It's incredible how much better poetry makes me feel, how much more centered and grounded and vibrant. I've been writing more, too. My New Year's Resolution was to get into the habit of writing poetry every day and so far it's going well. I'm very proud of that. It feels like I'm accomplishing something to already be a noticeable number of pages into the book I bought to write in. ;-)
I really need a new (and by 'new' I mean 'new to me') laptop sometime, though, so I can return to writing fiction more often. Certainly I have to have one before next November. I'd never be able to do NaNoWriMo without the ability to get out of the house with my laptop and write. I'm not at all productive here at my desktop.
