Stop. Drop. Panic.

There's so much going on right now I feel like I haven't had a chance just to sit back and take a deep breath. Tonight was my first Pilates Fusion class in two weeks (I missed last week because I was away) and it hurt. Pilates is a funny kind of exercise, during the class, when you're lying on the mat, it doesn't feel like you're doing a lot, but don't go for a week and then see how much it hurts the next day.

And I think it's kind of metaphoric for everything that's happening. Real life barrels on by and I've got so much to update: one author reading, two more books, band widow plans, our visit to the tax lady, writing work, work-work, but I feel like I can't even spare the few minutes to share even the smallest insight into where my head is these days.

A couple of things:

1. It's really annoying to get addicted to an awful show (ahem, The Black Donnellys) and have NBC cancel the show, air the final episodes online and then BLOCK you becauase you happen to live in the .ca.

2. Jennifer Lopez is on American Idol. Do you think she would have done that three years ago during the height of her so-called explosion?

3. It's possible to be so busy during the day that you don't even have time to go to the bathroom. It's possible. But so not practical.

4. The tailbone? Still. Hurts.

5. How can a brand new work computer just stop sending out sound? It was like it just didn't want to play that last track on Balanced on a Pin and decided to be mute. Perhaps it didn't like the Helen Keller quip I had sent around on work email and wanted to teach me a lesson. I have quite come to depend on CBC Radio 2 to keep my mind quiet at work; it was very noisy today. As a result, I'm wildly panicked and feeling kind of overwhelmed.

6. It takes an old friend to point out the obvious. My RRHB had lunch with a friend who moved away and noted, "Ragdoll really likes her new job and you're getting a lot done on the house. Sounds like things are going well for you guys."

7. Life After Tomorrow is AWESOME.

8. Facebook has become my new sugar...

9. Is anyone else as tired as I am with the fact that the various Law & Orders keep cribbing storylines from one another (creepy religious guy, rap-world murder, shocking plot twists).

10. I miss the movies.
