amberfocusWell, I didn't quite finish the chapter of Leap of Faith that I worked on today, but I am hopeful I will finish it tomorrow. Tosh is being...uncooperative and having a mind of her own. She's supposed to be falling for Owen, but she's having so much fun arguing with Mickey I can't help but think she might be eyeing him differently soon and I really wasn't planning on going that way or having a triangle or any such thing. Rose and Gabe are actually having a good time working together. And I don't even know what the hell John is doing, though he and Rose will have a date at the end of this chapter's day (but not necessarily in this chapter) where things will SERIOUSLY PROGRESS physically when they get back to the manor house.
Today was a very good day, not just for writing, but just in how I felt. I hope it continues because quite frankly I have been feeling very old and broken down since last fall when I reinjured my knee so badly and then have caught one form of pestilence after the other all winter long. I'm turning 41 on Saturday. I did not feel old at all when I hit 40, but right now my body just really has been feeling it. Not today though. Still a bit sick but I'm on such a good upswing today.
I think I'm going to try eliminating sugar from my diet (except on my b'day when Rose makes me b'day brownies and I'll only have one) and see if that doesn't help my immune system at all. I'm not a big sugar eater most of the time anyway, but I've been having more of it than usual while sick and I don't think it's helping things. I hope to get back in the water next week and start swimming again. I miss it. I miss the conditioning I had while I was doing it. I have lost all of it. I am going to have to work my way up again. I will not do more than half a mile though. Pushing it to 3/4 of a mile put too much of a strain on my knee, so I'll settle for 26 laps instead of 39 or more. Just wonder how many days it will take me to get there again. Probably at least two weeks if I go every other day. Maybe three.
