Spring!

There was a power outage this morning. It was less than an hour, but long enough to remind me how utterly addicted to coffee I am. I actually considered trying to use a lighter to heat it. So sad. When I looked out the window (after locating said lighter and realizing candles were more appropriate than the coffee idea), I saw frost on the roofs of the buildings around mine. Yikes! FROST. Isn't it supposed to be spring? The whole power-out/frosty-California morning gave me that 'snow day' feeling and I could hear neighbors calling out to each other to see if their power was out too. It's a very informal neighborhood. It made for an altogether charming Monday morning and energized me for the errands and chores to come because...

I relaxed (ran, hid, escaped?) this weekend, and I'll spend the rest of the week making up for it. There is definitely something to be said for a workspace outside the home. Or a home big enough to contain a specific place for 'the work' to happen. There never seems to be a clean escape from my need to accomplish the next thing. So today is catch-up and move ahead. This is the week of pushing forward into the new and uncomfortable area of possible success! Learning things (website or bust)! Acting on my determination! (The exclamation points are my pep-talk.) I have a million reasons it would be better to wait. My caution lights are on yellow-alert, just waiting till I actually move forward, then they'll start that noisy red flashing thing. Do I care? GOD yes.... Will I let it stop me?
