Brief update

Well, the success I mentioned in my last post was, indeed, a success.

We closed on our new house on Monday, and spent the night there, and nearly spent the night again last night because of the snowstorm. We came back to ~8" of snow, with drifts that were more than 2' deep. Very exciting.

I'm supposed to leave tomorrow to go the Southwest, the culmination of a dream. Unfortunately, I think that the evil flu -- which already laid me low once this winter -- may be back. I'm supposed to see the doc this afternoon & I'll see what she says.

I didn't get a chance to sit yesterday, which was disappointing, but I did today. I don't like missing days; for one thing, my practice is still so tenuous that it totally throws my groove off, as it were. For another, it's always a struggle for me to change my routine, and even a minor slip-up can cause problems.

If I don't update tomorrow, I'm off to the desert. I may or may not get a chance to update while I'm gone; I'll have my laptop, but I expect I'll be more interested in going & doing than staying in. I'm due to come back late on the 11th.
