very slow start
I’m off to a very slow start today. I slept badly, having dreams about the election what certainly seemed like all bloody night long, only interrupted when I got up to go to the bathroom, came back to bed, and tried to locate the pillow that had gone missing but instead poked Ted in the ribs several times, which tickled him until he woke up very, very confused. :) (I thought the pillow was between us. It turned out it’d fallen on the floor, but I was fumbling for it…
a hundred million things
I have–I have not been counting, but I suspect it is in the range of–about a hundred million things to do this week. Approximately. More or less. Among them is starting to swim again, which is really kind of the thing I want most to do and also the thing that is hardest/perhaps least likely *to* do.

I went for a walk this afternoon instead of taking a nap, which is what I’ve been doing for the last several days, and I actually feel like I have at least a few crumbs of energy to spare.

In about 15 minutes I’m going to go to my writing computer for the first time in a couple of months* to begin creating new words. I was not nearly man (or foolish) enough to start Nano at 12:01am, although I’m sure plenty of people were, but I’ve decided I’m not going for 75K this month as I’d originally intended, so hopefully I don’t need the early start. (Instead I’m going to try the impossible, which is to spend the next week not only getting 1700 new words a day…
