Rambling of a Write-a-holic

I have missed writing. I am not sure why I haven’t written. I have plenty to say… (no surprise there…). But I have missed that dance that my fingers do with the keyboard. I have missed letting thoughts flow.

I really yearn to write a book. But writing a novel has never been a goal. I am not a storyteller. It is such a talent… to tell a great story.

My husband has this gift. Long time ago, when we were in university, he told me a ridiculous story/not really a story about the Northern Guinea Pig. It is a very long speal. I actually can’t remember anything about it… but was secretly thrilled that he was talking to me on the phone for such a period of time. It was after this little encounter that I discovered he was a great bull-pooper.

How I love him for all those crazy traits. I also love when I KNOW I am RIGHT about a fact and HE is WRONG! Of course that doesn’t happen very often. He IS the one working on his doctorate and I am the one whining about some of my children inheriting my genes.

Genes… what a scary thing. I am reading this book called Still Alice about this Harvard professor that has early onset Alzheimer’s disease. It is an amazingly written book that has had me thinking of my grandmother who had it and lived with it for over 20 years. Will my mom get it? Will I ? It makes you walk in that person’s shoes. It has kept me wake thinking of the many horrid diseases that leave you helpless… especially ALS or Alzheimer. No, I don’t wish any kind of illness, but I think that it is easier to be able to do something or fight somehow.

These are thoughts that are coming from reading this book. I will definitely need a light read after this.

It is Spring Break! Actually I like the term March Break then there is no disappointment when this -15 degrees Celsius hits.
We are relaxing (as much as boys can relax). We will do a day in Toronto… hit the Hockey Hall of Fame, CN Tower and ride a street car.

Maybe we will get a bit a of skiing in, weather permitting.

It is a break. We so needed a break. This time change has been brutal. We will watch movies and just hang out.

I am going to buy an elliptical. Sanj is a 100% against it. He says look in the ads… you will see “gently used exercise equipment.” Yes, I know this to be true. But I also feel that I will use it. The days/weeks I can’t get to the gym like this week coming… I can do cardio at home. We’ll see.

I feel better. Writing. It is a part of me. It is like I have been holding my breath. Aw… there is the release.
I realize I am just rambling. But it still feels good.
