Forward and back

I'm writing this straight out of bed without finishing my tea. I haven't read any of your progress reports yet; I don't know for sure who has even posted, so it feels like I'm coming into this cold!

Writing: Amazing. Incredible. Last year when I went to this conference I took several different classes with different teachers. This year, Susan May Warren came to teach, and all I took was her class. I have work to do on the wip, but I know what I'm doing now, and I have tools to go back through and make even the keeper scenes stronger. For the first time in a long time, I am looking forward to getting back to work.

Clutter: I finally took a load to Good Will. That's it.

Health: Two yoga classes, and I gained a pound (and a few fractions of an inch) this week. It was to be expected. I took healthy snacks with me, but three days away, eating away from home, I was not surprised. I'm not discouraged. I just have to buckle down and get with the program again.

Misc: At this point, anything before Thursday seems like a distant dream! I did drive up through Macomb Thursday en route to Iowa so I could have lunch with Alex. It was good to see him for a little while, but there is nothing new to report. He's got a month of school left and will be home for at least part of the summer. Speaking of summer, the long-range forecast looks like it's safe to hang my parka in the closet, so I'll need to go through my closet again and purge the stuff I don't need for next winter. I guess it's time to come down from the mountain and get back into the daily grind!
