I half expected to hear Christmas Carols when my stereo went off this morning. I guess things are sort of back to normal. It's nice to have just a couple days of work to ease me back into a normal schedule.
We all seemed to have a bit of a restless sleep except for the Zelda cat that was comfortably stretched out on my writing chair. I seemed to wake up almost every hour. I think it has to do with being so free and without time constraints I'm always a tad stressed that I'll sleep in on the day that I really can't. I usually have those kind of dreams that I'm already at work and then wake up all screwed up and have to rush around. But with my 4am promise to get up every morning I really am safe so I don't know what the mild stress is about.
Maybe it's the date. Who knows.
Happily, I'll be able to get back to making my smoothies again since I bought myself a new blender for Christmas. My lovely magic bullet just couldn't deal with the heavy duty work that I put it through. It was really good in the beginning but after several months of constant use, well, the little critter couldn't deal. Plus the cups have little keys that fit into the mechanism to make it run and most of the little keys have broken off the cups. I think I have one or two cups left that still have the keys. It became a crap shoot as to whether it was going to work each morning and I can't have that. Plus the cups were repeatedly unscrewing from the blade while blending and I'd end up with a mess. Not good in the limited time of the mornings. So my endorsement of the magic bullet has changed dramatically. It was great for a minute but I need something more consistent than that.
My Charlescraft juice extractor is getting a little use weary but that's okay because I still have a brand new one sitting on the sidelines. I bought three of them when Eaton's was closing down years ago because I was able to buy them for real cheap. I gave one as a gift and kept the other two. Those are little sturdy guys. I used my first one for a good ten years so I know this one still has some good life to it.
My arthritic feet have been so excellent that I haven't taken my herbal concoction for a good week plus I haven't taken the Castor oil treatments for quite a few days either. The regimen is usually to take a break from everything so I'll probably start up again once the work schedule gets back to normal come next week.
Everything seems to be moving nicely with my body as of late. So that's always a good thing for me. I start to get out of sorts when my body isn't functioning as it should. Lord knows there can be enough things on any given day to make me feel out of sorts. Let's at least start off with a good frame work.
I went through my steno last night and typed up all the writing I can use. I had notes and scenes for White Wishes, notes and scenes for a chick lit novel, notes for my Dream weavers novel, notes for my graphic novel, notes to keep me centred, and a personal essay. I had other stuff that I already used or rewrote. I wrote an experimental piece that I don't wish to share on my blogs. It's a mix of an internal dialogue mixed in with to do lists that could be the beginnings of a longer piece but also stands on its own. We'll see what I can do with it. If I can find a place to submit it to.
I realized that I was confusing myself trying to update my counter of my 1000 hours and words. I just can't update it daily because I forget what day I'm up to and have to go back to all the sheets and recount everything. So I'll have to update it on a weekly basis instead which makes more sense anyway.
Well it's 5:30am and I'd like to do a little Pilates before I bathe and make my smoothie and stuff.
Don't know if I'll blog about the date so don't expect any updates on that. I already haven't blogged about beautiful eyes and his distinct confusion causing behaviour of last Friday. I just don't want to give my focus to strange and confusing men anymore. I've got way too much writing I want to do and I don't do strange and confusing anymore. No good can come from it.
