La Bene Vita

Life After Dresden

I finished the Dresden Files (except Side Jobs, his collection of shorts) and moved on to The Chaperone by Laura Moriarty for book club. A very good book, but nowhere near as suck-me-in engaging as Dresden. I'm still going to bed too late (thanks a heap, Gabby Douglas), but at least I'm not spending every free moment nose-in-Kindle.

That image doesn't work as well, does it? Technology is great until it renders our cliches obsolete.

At MTMS  , we cleared 275 and dropped back down when a family of three withdrew, but we're still two-steps-forward-one-step-back in the volume growth category, which is the opposite of May and June, which makes me very happy. I love my job again.

On the weight loss front, I dropped four pounds and held... all summer long. I suppose I should be happy I'm not gaining, but I still have twenty-six pounds to go according to my goals. I ate three molasses cookies (6 points) and drank two cups of creamered coffee (2 points) for breakfast today. Yay, go me.

On the writing front... (wait, there's a writing front?) ...two months until "October Novel Prep Challenge"  [13+], which means one month until advertising and fundraising begins. Other than that, I'm behind on my WDC blog (yours truly) and my business blog, I've been away from social media and the Internet in general, I have three website revisions in progress, and I'm behind in my church duties.

I will accomplish something on my to-do list today. *scribbles "take nap" on to-do list*
