on the eve of "it begins again"

another bump in. starts tomorrow. and with the glands up and the body sore and the head spinning and so much left to do, i'm not exactly jumping for joy.


but the house is clean and the belly is full and warm, and i am relishing this moment. the calm before the two week storm.


and i am feeling a somewhat unusual sense of calm surrounding the upcoming fortnight. maybe i am learning, learning to have perspective and remember the bigger picture and enjoy the ride. or maybe i am just deluded.


either way, dear little blog, you are serving me well. in more than one way. you are bringing me joy and clarity and company and new friends and work.


and, in case you or i forget, here's a picture of me, how i'll look all week long. composed, happy, in control, strong, and with the ideal amount of sass.



and that's how i'll stay... mmkay??
