Off to a slow start...

Been trying to kick-start the day since I got out of bed. Think maybe this allergy stuff is getting to me.

Made some progress on the new story, but couldn’t find the mojo to put the last of the pieces in place. Maybe tomorrow. Or maybe I should leave it a while and start on something new. Nice thing about having the long piece out of my hair, I’m getting in some good reading time. New issue of Ploughshares showed up in the mail today. Looking forward to cracking it.

Got over to the gym for the first time in—what?—four days? A little hard getting it going, but managed a decent workout before going home. Figured to ramp it up tomorrow, but the weather’s going to be so nice I might ditch the workout in favor of a day on the water. Maybe drive back up to the South Platte in Deckers.

Wind keeps blowing, leaves keep falling. Been a disappointing fall in terms of color. The big cold last week killed most everything. Good reminder to take it when it’s in front of you, and forget about the rest. Yeah. Some fishing tomorrow might be just the thing.
