I have a Superman t-shirt with the big S on the front. I’ve also got a Batman t-shirt. I feel…somewhat self-conscious wearing these shirts in this country (particularly the Superman one, because it is So! Blue! and So! Red! and So! Yellow!), because people (especially women) don’t seem to wear these sorts of things here. However. Last time I wore the Batman t-shirt, as we were getting off the train, a two year old boy in front of us looked back at me from his father’s arms and started bouncing…

the damage [ww lock]

I told myself I didn’t have to get back on the scale until the 25th as long as I ate well during the four weeks after Christmas.

Couple days ago was writing huge copious amounts (7300 word days, stuff like that) and said god how she wished she knew she could turn that on, since there were a hell of a lot of days where a thousand words was like pulling teeth. And right now I’m sitting here at Nook listening to Bon Jovi and not starting words on HoCH, which is the project du jour. I literally stopped mid-sentence yesterday. I have a pretty good idea of how the sentence ends. But I’ve been dicking around…
