I am very behind now, but that is the thing about sick days: they not only upset the balance on the days you are sick, but also are disruptive to many days that follow. And, whether it’s general Mom Guilt or more of a post-Covid anxiety, I feel a bit weird re-entering society after illness. At any rate, the children returned to school.

I didn’t have a lot of grand plans for the day, but this day, this Wednesday, was a spark that set off a surge of creative energy. I’m sure some of it was returning to to my own mind after many days of fitful rest. However, I also had a lot of writing collaboration to tend to on Wednesday. I”m not sure yet how much of it will pan out, but sometimes you don’t need actual results to feel good in your creative space. I don’t mean to be cryptic, rather to say, the point for me on this day was that opportunities were being presented and it felt exciting to just talk with like-minded people and to try my hand at some things.

The day was sort of lost to this creative flurry. By the time it was time to run to school pick-up, I realized I’d been at my computer most of the day…and hadn’t even showered. I fixed that later, don’t worry.
