well, it's been a bit...agility is now in full swing for the fall. 3 trips to earlysville a week, to assist, take and teach class. such fun meeting new people and dogs and seeing the ones i already know but haven't seen in some time. dix is thrilled just to take a trip to eville, even if she doesn't get to do much other than sit in the car. another trial coming up at the end of the month to look forward to.

this weather is spectular! crisp, cool nights and mornings, with days that don't really get to 70. and laurens tearing around the house from window to window watching everything. he loves the cool weather. gotta get the screened porch fixed so he can have that outlet again. trying to still get out to run in the ams, but it's just so dark and chilly. but, i have gotten back to jazzercise! sure missed that. nothing beats a workout to good music that's really just like you're out dancing with friends.

been doing some thinking and it's time for another round with Julia Cameron's "The Artist's Way." i've done the book 5 times now i think, and every time i do it, i take a leap forward in my life. and i 'm thinking it's time for another leap. and maybe it'll be in a new direction for a change. not that i don't like my life, i just feel like it's time to move on to the next level or path or whatever. gotta check in with my sister marg and see if she's still up for doing the book together. i'm looking forward to the artist dates. filling up the creative well. gotta do it.
