I miss the dry...

It's raining again.

I do like the rain, don't get me wrong. It's great, and the gloomy gray days make me happy.

But...

Things just never dry out. Towels. Clothing. Those paper wet-wipes in the gym. (Okay, the last one is a bonus, it takes maybe 2 for a full workout instead of 2 per machine, but you get the idea.)


Aaron and I have worked out a routine for our days on campus for optimal not-paying-goddamned-parking-fees. So he drops me off in the morning and goes home. Then when he comes in he rides a bike. When I leave, I take said bike home, and then I swing by later to pick him up.

I'm still huffing-and-puffing my way home. Damn, but biking 3 ish miles with some inclines is rough when that's your starting ride. I am making it, though. I even went to the gym today and ran a mile and worked out arms.

I may be back in shape when I visit home!

I have started reading a new series called "The Iron Druid Chronicles" by Kevin Hearne. Not bad at all. I'm well into book three and I started them on... Friday? Maybe Thursday. I mean, they aren't Dresden Files, but they are definitely worth the read in the meantime. (Damnit, Jim Butcher, write faster!)

And speaking of writing, I am trying to work more of that into my schedule so I can get back into the practice and finally get something finished. I keep bouncing back and forth between a few ideas and settings, but none of them are really working well for me yet. I just need to bear down (which I just had to look up the spelling for, heh) and write. I have new thoughts of an Urban Fantasy from a young werewolf's PoV. We'll see.

Until next time!
