Catching up

It's been a while since I left a little note here. Hmm, well not too long anyway. I think the last time I was here was a little over two weeks or so. Anyway, my fingers have been busy and my brain needs some downtime. Hmm, downtime what is that thing again? My brain sometimes doesn't get the message. It is always on. Swirling, random thoughts still being generated when in downtime mode. I guess that is the one sure sign that I am alive with a fully functioning brain, eh. Anyway, I wrapped up an article and we met the deadline. Whew, it is now in the hands of the reviewers. Dear awesome reviewers ... :-) I also took part in an early morning group writing session and when I say early I mean eaaaarly. With the different time zones, I think it was 5 am my time when the session started. Yet, that early crack of dawn, bleary eyed with the coffee very close by was worth it. I am sure I will end up signing up for another one. Also, interesting tidbit, I have been penning a bit more by hand. I find myself easing back into the groove, finding my rhythm with the pen and paper, like an old forgotten lover who at first feels like a stranger when you get together for the first time or two, then slowly - in my case at least - you start to just fit again. Sometimes when I go back to see what I had written, it boggles my mind. You know when it is as if your thoughts are moving faster than your fingers, when your hand has a hard time catching up with your mind? Yes, as I start writing, I can see the flowery beauty of my penmanship, couple lines later, it has dwindled to a physician's scrawl :-)
