In the War Room just now, Laura Anne said, “Kit, I am in awe, once again, at your mixture of productivity and total lack of self-preservation.” I suspect that says it all. Not that she should talk. :) I’m also kind of fond of this final line of the synopsis I’m currently working on: “and KERSPLODY is the final scene of the book” Sounds good, huh? :)

why do i go to extremes?
I made the sage observation to my mother this morning that I’m not very good at not going to extremes. She said, “No kidding. It’s good you’ve discovered that.” *laughs* I /am/ aware of it. In this particular care I mentioned it because I’ve started swimming again and I started at a measly 1K instead of a mile, because I’m trying hard to build a habit instead of over-doing it and stopping again. I have two more 1K swims before I step up to 1500 meters. But Mom said she’d…
how does this happen to me?
and others pointed out to me that perhaps the 10K daily steps thing was meant for people who were not also riding their bike to the gym and swimming. Unless, Tersa said, you’re an overachiever.

Online conversation just now, regarding tin whistles and guitars and broken fingers (yes, still damaged; we think I probably cracked a bone or two): Kit: so. that’s my goal. Trent: Heal, learn tin whistle, then move on to guitar? Kit: pretty much. despite the fact that tin whistle does not in any way translate to guitar. Kit: although re-learning to read music is helpful. Trent: My next line was going to be something about ‘crawl, learn to stand, ride a motorcycle’. Kit laughs. Kit: isn’t that my SOP? Trent: Pretty…
holiday? what’s a holiday?
We went by the Mardyke Arena, which is the University College Cork’s gym facility, to find out if they allow day passes to the swimming pool, which I suspect is the only pool in Cork worth swimming in*. They don’t, or rather, they do, but only if you come as the guest of someone with a regular pass and who won’t leave your side for the duration of your swim. Or something like that. Except in July and August, when they do day passes because the students are gone. Ted…
