Stuff and things

blue_lotus13In many ways, it's like I'm already on vacation. I only had to go to one meeting this month, and have been writing a few stories from home. I worked so much in November that December has been really lax. I could have gone home early and written from Saskatoon, except that I have my teen writers' group to teach this Sunday.
After three or four days of -40 weather, I was suffering from some serious cabin fever. This was made worse because I accidentally ate some chickpeas that had gone bad and had some digestive issues for about 2 days. Fortunately, this was settled with a bland diet and a whole lot of sleep. (It wasn't food poisoning. I just felt very ill and had a stomach ache and stayed home resting for a day. I'm better today. Today is much warmer outside (about -12), so I went for my first ski of the year! Skied around the park for an hour and it was fantastic.
Things are pretty lax here. Just a few articles (and a new short story) to work on, movies to watch, and books to read. My friends Patrick and Nicole, who are both poets, will be guest teaching at the teen writers group this weekend. I drive home on Monday and can't wait to hang out with my parents and dog.
