Writing bug...

I feel it. The overwhelming urge to figure out where I am in my writings and begin to pursue them again.  Dry spell has lasted long enough. Writing gods kick my butt back into shape!

Thomas the Train

Today is a special day with the Boys.  My wife and I have the day off and we are going to the Green Bay Railroad Museum to see Thomas the Train.  Who Knows, maybe we will throw in some fishing and a picnic as well.  And swim lessons begin again. 

The burning desire to write has been quiet within me since the injury to my hand, but I feel it stirring again.  I am trying to find the focus of it.  The Four, the vampire novel that isn't a vampire novel; I don't know where it will surface, but I am looking forward to the endeavor and hope to maintain focus.  I need to get something out there and in print.  Short story, novel, e-book, it is time for it to happen.

A hot one...

Started my day with a 2.5 mile run.  Rumor is NE Wisconsin is supposed to reach the 90's today.  Plan is to work on the tree house but it may just be too bloody hot!  Been a long weekend.  Grandma in hospital after suffering a stroke.  In pretty rough shape and has been thinking of probably my worst fear: being a prisoner in my own body that won't move.  Possible writing idea out of that, or incorporate into a current story.  Love to you Grammy Lou.

Tree house thus far is below... although the first half of the roof has been completed.

Writing and other things

Writing; I feel a push to get back to it, but feel preoccupied by other matters such as the tree house I am building.  There is a lot left to do, but I finally feel as if the end is near with that.  I am hoping to finish framing the roof this week.  Then siding and of course the shingling of the roof.

Also, the weight loss is going well, as of yesterday I lost 19 pounds.  The only problem that I am having with it is my pants don't want to fit anymore... and it is actually for the right reasons that they don't want to fit, not the normal, 'wow, these are getting snug.'  Other personal matters are on my mind, but not revealing those quite yet.

The writing will come.  It has to as I think it is the switch for the light at the end of the tunnel for me.  Write to Live Live to Write!

14.2 lbs

The journey has begun toward weight loss.  In about 4 weeks I have lost 14.2 lbs.  I would like to say it is easy, but I can't.  I will say that it hasn't been 'hard' it has just taken some thought. Nutrition panels, portion control.  All things I never thought I would look at.  And now I have begun 'Jump start my metabolism' runs in the morning.  So far, just a half mile to a mile, but something to get me going.  Also, off caffeine, no soda at all.  Don't drink any juice either.  They are all sugar.  I will keep you posted once the biggest loser competition is over at work, but as for right now I am trying to be ALL IN.
