laptops and the flu
I finally have my laptop.
It is tiny (2.5lbs) and lovely and I can come to the bookstore and do some writing!
yay!
Except that the first day of my long awaited laptop/bookstore combo comes on a day when I am really not feeling terribly well.
I am going to try to blog more again.
My self imposed vow of mostly silence is starting to wear me out.
It extended past the blogging, this vow of mostly silence, I stopped everything.
I used to do three pages of long hand morning pages everyday as well as blogging throughout the day and then a page or two of paper journaling and bits of creative writing in the evening.
Once I stopped doing my creative writing, I found that I really couldn't stand the sound of my journaling voice and then finally I just stopped everything.
Now that I have the laptop I think I would like to get back to some creative writing and I think for me that means I have to do all the other writing as well.
I thought I would be grumpy about that but I am finding that I really am not.
I started part of a story yesterday morning and I have been thinking poetry again for the first time in quite some time.
So writing again, yes, I think so.
But also this flu that seems to be trying to get me.
Everyone around me seems to have a cold but I woke up feeling all achy-in-my-bonesy which makes me think flu.
But today is not a day for feeling icky.
Today is a day of new computers in the bookstore and sitting and basking in the afterglow of my long overdue meeting of mind and body with my sweetie. (and no the long overdue part is not indicative a relationship falling apart, think flu, think yeast, think crimson tides, all those things back to back and some time must elapse, we are good and fine and wonderful - better than new laptops in the bookstore even)
So I am sitting here in the bookstore feeling the words float around this place and watching definitions fall where they may and I am content with my place and I am speaking again.
