Things I did on Saturday:

• Found that best friend from The Bad Time in New England had friended me on Facebook, felt much joy and happiness
• Ate oatmeal and leftover canned mango 
• Went to first Ashtanga class ever, and went to first class in DC ever (yes, it was the same class) 
• Moaned and complained about how difficult class was on my shoulders 
• A lot 
• Ate lunch at favorite restaurant 
• Watched Pirates of the Caribbean…again…while cross-stitching
• Congratulated self on how much surface area I’ve covered in the last couple of weeks of stitching
• Worried about whether the 2500 words that I successfully wrote yesterday while at work in the Friday afternoon doldrums (don’t tell!) were any good
• Read them, and decided they’re perfectly OK, and may need replacement when I see how the book is shaping up after the first plot point
• Did happy dance in brain that hardest part (starting) of writing new novel is over
• Refused to feel guilt about lack of homework, chores 
• Looked at clock, realized it was 6 PM and I’d wasted the whole day 
• Decided day had been spent, not wasted 
• Wrote in blog 
• Sent happy thoughts to TB and family
• Clicked “Publish”
