Hurry up and wait

It feels as if 2011 has yet to really begin for me. It's certainly begun elsewhere in the world - the news is dizzying. But for me, personally, it is off to a sluggish start. Which is strange in light of recent major changes/developments on the home front. I have been writing more and exercising more, and what I have to show for it are more beginnings of stories and, inexplicably, a few extra pounds. "Inexplicable" is a lie ... I can no longer eat the way I used to. This is a really boring post. I'm going to post it now. Sigh.
