This is more like it

[annathepiper]

Today I have read a novel (and posted a review of same), been reasonably functional at work, handled going to Zappy, and most importantly, I have written something.

Not much--barely 100 or so words on Child of Ocean, Child of Stars. But the long dry spell I've been suffering as of late has been extremely irritating. I know intellectually that it's okay if I haven't been able to write thanks to the radiation treatments draining my brain. This doesn't mean I like it. And if I am not able to write, I stress. Vicious circle, you know the drill, etc.

But tonight I wrote words. It makes me feel all accomplished and Jack-Aubrey-esque!

I still haven't managed to post the last Jam Report, but hey, I'll get there. Though as long as I'm feeling all catchy-uppy, here, I'm almost to Minas Tirith! (Gods, have I really not posted a mileage update in over a month?)

Miles since November 26th: 85.7
Miles out of Hobbiton: 2570.4
Miles out of Isengard: 777.4
Miles to Minas Tirith: 8.6

Yaaaaaaaaaaay! Words!

(You're doing better than me, I have ideas itching at the corners of my brain but I can't get'em to come out...)

*hugs* You should be banging on the gates of Minas Tirith tomorrow, eh? How often do you have to replace your walking shoes?

Minas Tirith on Thursday, I think! I'll need to go back to the Eowyn Challenge site and look up the next round of numbers, and see whether I have anywhere else to hit before I get to Mount Doom!

I've had to do roughly yearly shoe replacements for the last couple of years, I have noted. I walk a lot.
