Here I am again - can you believe it?
Here I am with another update - I am off work right now so I have time to update here. I also started a bullet or dot journal as we are calling it in my circle so I am in the mood for writing entries. I do an entry every day in that. A co-worker gave me the journal so I thought I would make use of it. I got some stickers to put in it to make it cute and fun. It feels really good to get back into journaling in all these different ways. Who knew I had so much to say.
I worked on the story (MSV - Slashy Valentine) and I now have 2005 words on that. It feels like it is in good shape. I got it to a good stopping point today and I need to think about where it goes next. So a natural pause and think. I don't write with an outline really - I just write the story and see where it takes me. That always works for me. So it is going good so far and I hope to keep writing each day.
Today, I took a nice walk with my friend J***. Both of us were feeling lazy but we did a good 45 minute stroll down College Ave in Oakland. We did not go in any of the stores - we stayed outside with our masks on. I feel like outside activities are safer and it is risky going into places. We kept outside and avoided people on the sidewalk and did a good long walk. I felt better after so it was good. I had coffee at home after - trying to minimize my spending and not get coffee out so much. It is $5.00 a pop on that and it adds up to a lot if you get a coffee every time. My coffee is good enough. It hit the spot today so it worked for me.
I probably have not told you all this but my Mom, who is in her 80's, has Alzheimer's spots on her brain. Her neurologist is not overly concerned and basically says she has the brain of a person in their 80's. The one thing I notice is that she has trouble finding words. She wants to say something and cannot find the word. Her memory is very sharp and all that. It is just affecting her language recall a bit. So that has happened. They want her to work on her balance and do some PT so she is doing that.
Anyhoo - this is pretty much today's update. I did do something funny - I got annoyed because the local radio station stopped playing Christmas music right on Dec 26. So I wrote them on their website and old them I thought they could give us a few extra days of the holiday music. Technically, Christmas goes all the way into January so a few more days would be nice. I am sure they won't reply but it felt good to write it.
The other thing I did today was write all my representatives in Washington about the pathetic legislation they just passed. It does a lot of things but it sure does not help the American people very much with direct help. So I told all of my people - Senate and House - my feelings on that. If you live in the US and are so inclined - I suggest doing the same - it is very easy to go on the Congressional website and find your people and send them a message. You will feel better. I know I do.
So I did a lot of writing today - feeling super productive. Hope you are doing well there and staying safe. Poof, like magic this is cross-posted from - Dreamwidth! Please comment where you prefer.
