Yes – it appears that, finally, I AM GETTING BETTER! The tell-tale signs are that I was well enough to get angry over something that really annoyed me today, well enough to conclude that the subject of my anger is too pathetic to warrant me wasting energy getting angry over them, and I sang a little bit! I’m not back to my usual half an hour singing sessions, but I’ve been singing along to adverts and doing my thing of randomly singing sentences instead of saying them (sometimes even I have to conclude that words get boring and need a little bit of jazzing up), so baby steps but good baby steps. I went to college and actually got some work done (although I’m not impressed with the pain relief side of these new painkillers, they’re certainly not knocking me out and turning me into a giggling sleeping crying mess like the old ones) and I feel quite bright today 🙂
So, that’s all good. It also means that I can hopefully soon make a start on training for the Sponsored Walk in June (PSSSSST, sponsor us please!). I wouldn’t have thought a 10km walk would need training for as it’s not too much, but having been ill, it’d probably be best for me to get a bit of exercize in first, and I could do with getting fit anyway. As soon as we have a lovely day, I want to get out for a walk – it feels like ages since I just went for a walk (probably because it has been ages!). The ballot applications opened for London Marathon 2013 opened today, but I think that might be just a tad ambitious for me at the moment. I’m going to keep 2014 in my sights – not sure who I’d do it to raise money for, because there’s so many charities that I feel an affinity for, but I suppose I have time to think of that if I’m aiming for 2014 at the earliest 😉
So yeah. It’s still all quiet on the writing front, but that’ll come too in time. However, I had a dream last night, and that is a dangerous thing. My current novels started off as a dream, which somehow morphed into a trilogy of books which I am now struggling to complete (although that isn’t because it was sparked by a dream, that’s because I have a pathetic immune system and am easily felled by a measly kidney infection. Please note the sarcasm; there was nothing measly about it!). BUT, I am going to write this dream down – it’s given me an idea which I like a lot, and although nothing is very clear about it at the moment – as in, I have a tiny ounce of a general theme with no plot and certainly no characters, title or anything resembling a novel – but, once this novel is over, should I decide to punish myself again by setting off on a literary adventure, I think I might have my basic plot idea.
Although I usually hate it, sometimes having such vivid dreams can be a very good thing!
