Actual productivity!

I know, you're all shocked.

Today! I dropped off the book with my supervisor. (Ran into a viva'd student of hers, so remind me, self, that I should drop him a line for coffee.) Went to the bookshop. (I love the bookshop, but Oh Man, the difference between it and Blackwell's.) Formatted my bibliography. Totted up something that might make an Outline and an Analytical Commentary, which the School wants. Finished off a review for Tor.com. Answered email.

Went, for a wonder, to the gym. We must begin again at the very beginning, and work back up: in the service of reprogramming my emotions, I'm not permitted to level insults at myself for needing a reasonable amount of time and work to return to what I consider decent levels of fitness. As a beginning session, 5K on the bike (inside 12 minutes) 2K on the rowing machine (inside 11 minutes), and some intervals on the treadmill, isn't all that shabby.

The weather continues mild, although the forecast promises rain to come. If I don't think to hard, I can be calm, and almost optimistic. We are a process, not a destination. I'm going to try to live the process, rather than dwell on destinations.
