write anything

I've been away too long, so I will jump in and write randomly. Little by little, perhaps, getting back to the habit of writing.

I am worrying. I am a worrier. I come by it honestly; my mom is a champion worrier, and I have been practicing my worrying for many years.

I'm worrying about my friend, who spent well over 12 hours in surgery yesterday in his latest round of his battle with cancer.

I'm worrying about my kids, praying for health and happiness for each of them.

I'm worrying about my so-called career. I have no "work" this summer. Several medical issues- none, at the moment, thank heaven, really serious- encouraged and led me to this path. I feel at odds having no structured demands on my time.

I'm working on getting back in the habit of writing- witness today's return to the blog.

I'm back in the habit of reading. Right now I'm on the most recently published book from the Song of Ice and Fire series. Frustrated that there are at least two more books in the saga that ARE NOT  YET PUBLISHED!

I'm working on developing better health habits. My weight is UNBEARABLE. I feel like I am walking around in a fat suit. I am drinking over 70 oz of water a day, eating at least one bowl of oatmeal or oat cereal a day, and building up activity every day. Today I set the timer for 20 minutes and did active housework until the timer went off.

I know, me, housework, right?
