Happy Equinox! We've a typical Autumnal Day at the moment (8:30AM): grey, overcast sky, damp ground from yesterday's rain, yellowing leaves on the trees and orange leaves on the ground, and 55F. It might clear up, or it might rain a little first.
In Writing News, I've stepped down from Wordos. I'll miss seeing everyone every week, and I'm thinking that I'll be able to redirect some energy to writing (longer or non-fiction) pieces that weren't a good match for the group.
Mark's gone this week on a spur-of-the-moment, personal retreat to Yellowstone. Despite having four inches of snow bring his tent down on him while he was sleeping one night, I can tell from his voice over the phone that he's had a rejuvinating time. The cats, The Child and I have managed to get through the week without him.
Between the university school year ramping up, Mark's absence, and other things, I havn't been able to get to the gym and I've done only a marginal amount of writing. The writing lecturn is nice, and I'm having to be mindful of how it makes my lower back sore -- I'm currently using my hexagonal dumbbells as a foot bar, which seems to help. Maybe some sort of raised stool is in order, although I'm not sure where it would live when I'm not sitting on it.
This afternoon, I used the magnifying lens to capture the equinox sun and light some candles. The flames kept going until after 9 PM.
