good stuff

I'm a little nonplussed today.  My neck hurts.  I haven't been working on writing as much as I want to.  I'm having personal transitions that are difficult.  I don't want to look for work.  I went to a party in a bar last night and remembered why I don't go to bars anymore.  Not only is it boring when one isn't drinking, but it is depressing to watch drunk people when sober.  I need better social contexts.  But, life ain't all bad!

• I'm going to do STP (Seattle to Portland bike ride) in July with some friends, I think.  I don't want to make any promises yet, but I am definitely going to dust off Jaja (my bike) this week and start getting out for some longer rides.
• I've figured out that I can go to Europe in May (thanks unemployment!!).  I'm looking for flats to rent in Prague in Berlin.
• I may go to NYC in March with "the girls" - hotel is covered, I just have to work the airfare.
• I have a pile of books to read that will keep me occupied for months.
• Starting a yoga schedule on Monday.
• I'm going on a photo excursion with a new photographer friend soon.
• I took a writing class with Rick Moody and he liked my writing.
• My kitchen is clean!
• My laundry is clean!
• I am in a transitional time, and change is good.
