Real life and all that.

It's been a long time since I've done a life update here.

I'm writing again, a steady 800-1200 words/day.  I take Sami to the gym, where they have a daycare that'll watch her for 2 hrs a day, so we go every day and I sit in the lobby and write. It has become my writing-space.

My husband Sam had knee surgery, and I had to drive him to and from work every day for almost 3 weeks, so that sucked. He's doing better now and I don't have a 90 minute drive in the middle of my sleep cycle anymore, so that's awesome.

Still eating low-carb. Going to a diet with more low-glycemic vegetables. It's been a year now. 

I've had some depression issues lately, mostly with lack of sleep. Better now.

Sami had her 3rd birthday. Here's 

 a video of her butchering her birthday balloons.

Sami is adorable! I'm surprised she enjoys popping the balloons - when I was little, I was afraid of them!

Thanks! I dunno, she's always loved popping balloons, since she was like 18 months old. She's not scared at all.

She's gorgeous and it looks like she's really enjoying herself - fearless in the face of balloons! The gym sounds like a fantastic idea to give you the time and space for some writing and I bet she has fun and something to look forward to as well - and something to tell you about afterwards.

Thanks. :) She's generally a pretty brave kid. Hates bugs, but she's severely allergic to ant-bites and all the adults freak out if she gets near them, so that's pretty reasonable.

The gym has been working out great. I usually write 800-1200 words a day, every single day. I go back and re-read and edit while Sami plays at McDonalds play place. She has a blast, usually, and she's learning to listen or get into trouble, which is good for her.
