dnd

thursday, april 1: i start the day close to a nervous breakdown, and decide the best thing for me -- and those around me -- is to hole up in severe dnd. i emerge six hours later, with everything (and then some) scratched off my to-do list and a gigantic weight lifted off my shoulders.

tree fort

tuesday, march 30: i found it. i found the place i will go for my birthday trip. i had to rearrange places and schedules, but it finally worked out. we will spend it in what looks like tree forts buried in the pine trees just outside silver city, new mexico. i am so excited.

math

monday, march 29: it's true. it's really, really true. the 151 out of 150 on the midterm for a difficult algebra class that i'm struggling with really is actually my grade. i'm floating on air. i was never any good at math; i sucked at math; math was never my friend. to finally be conquering this subject is an amazing accomplishment.

training

(I am out of date order here, and my smartphone automatically capitalizes everything, but its a gorgeous day and I ton't want to forget sitting on a sun-drenched patio overlooking a pool with the Santa Catalina mountains rising precipitously in the background and a breeze caressing my shoulders...)

outside

sunday, march 28: i head out for a gentle wog; it's been too many weeks since my last outing. the sun is brilliant, and the wind gently tosses my hair from side to side. i love moving my body, moving through and sharing this atmosphere with my neighbors, the grass, the dogs, the pine trees.

association

saturday, march 27: i am in a room with 39 other writers, and the community is amazing. people who speak my language, who ask the same questions i do, who know what it's like to bang your head against the wall when you can't move through a sticky situation. it's like church, with authors preaching scriptures to us about plot and characterization, only it's better, because it includes tasty lunch.

driver's ed

friday, march 26: my boyfriend's niece passes her driver's license test after months of training with him; she is thrilled, and he is, too. we go out for ice cream in the middle of the day. it's 3pm, and i'm not at work, i'm with people i love, celebrating a milestone, and i am happy.
