Gym, Writing and Such...

athersgeoWell, today I have had my first session in the gym - and having worked hard for half an hour (plus a ten/fifteen minute swim) I actually don't feel too bad. The aim is to go every other day, and I have a review set up for eight weeks time, so we'll see how I do. (I also promise that I'm not going to turn into a gym bore...I hope, anyway!)
On the writing front, I haven't been doing much recently, largely because my brain is not so slowly rotting at the moment. There is and should be a happy medium at work, but we're currently failing to hit it. Either we have way too much work to do or none whatsoever. We're currently in the latter state and at one stage this afternoon, I was giving serious consideration to going to sleep, I was that dang bored. I have had various stories with me - I've just been so lathargic I haven't touched 'em. I will try to do better. If nothing else, I would like to try and get the first book of my Francie story finished before Christmas!
On the such front...actually, there is no such front. I was going to say something about what's happened in the South of the USA, but really? I'm not qualified. It's a disaster and that's all there is to it. Though, what worries me, is with the fuss everyone's making over New Orleans (and it is a mess right now, I know), the affected folks in Alabma, Mississippi and elsewhere in Louisiana will get overlooked.

Help is already there for most places, it's just that NO and B are a) major urban centers with a huge poor and indigent population and b) still so devastated that aid workers can't really get into the cities. There's a lot of focus on those places right now, but a lot of aid is actually going elsewhere, just because that's where it can go.
