Had the office ...Well, I had high hopes for today. Had the office to myself and thought for sure I could finish some editing notes for this book I'm working on. And I did get that done but absolutely nothing else. My darling angel of a baby girl wouldn't let me put her down all day. Every time her feet touched the floor she started crying, "Hold me." <BR/>Remind me again why I wanted her to learn to talk. <BR/>It's rather difficult to write with a squirming baby in your lap. Not to mention the actual work I'm supposed to be doing for my day job. <BR/><BR/>Oh well, at least I've gotten a lot done at home tonight. Thank Heaven for DH. I'm off to take a shower and then begin the first chapter for my new book. Tomorrow, I'm looking forward to critiquing for Angel. I'm really looking forward to it!<BR/><BR/>InstigatorKira Sinclair - AKA Instigatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14274056066229852126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-1148320637044213392006-05-22T12:57:00.000-05:002006-05-22T12:57:00.000-05:00Okay, I walked. 30 minutes at a brisk pace.

And right in the middle of The Count of Monte Cristo. John Cavizel was just about to rain havic upon the friend who betrayed him. Sigh!<BR/><BR/>Exercise? I get on a schedule and then make excuses. Why? I know exercise makes me feel better (that is, once the soreness wears off) yet it's still hard to get motivated. Likewise, I know when I make myself write, the writing improves. But as in my dilemma with exercise, I get side-tracked. Back to square one...and a mental soreness which lasts for weeks or months at a time.<BR/><BR/>Key issue? Prioritizing. Remembering to challenge the physical body as well as the mind and not getting out of the habit. (A challenge to us all.)<BR/><BR/>DC#4 got 4th runner up in the Beauty Pageant this weekend!
