Writer's Cramps and Blocks

I'm living EXACTLY the life I hoped for when I made the decision to leave my job at The Amusement Park. I am able to go to the boys' football games, I don't have to rush around every morning, I am learning and seeing many new things.

I'm slowly, but surely, making my way though the piles of boxes in the attic and the shop that have been there since we moved three years ago. I especially love to see the progress I've made when, on garbage days, the decomposed, mouse-infested items GO.

Sometimes, I even find time to exercise :)

Today I have a PILE of writing to complete.

Two essays for a graduate program application. One will describe the policy implications of Obamacare (well, a few of them). Did you know that the Health Care Act is over 900 pages in length? And there is a lot of fine print.

A paper on Baroque Opera for Music Appreciation class.

The "story" of my oldest son's summer vacation and first few weeks of college - my promise to help him through his PILE of overdue thank you notes.

The final project for my "Multimedia in Education Class," an IBook on the djembe.

Still, these chores are much more enjoyable than my the work I did before.

"Let's Do This."
