Long time, no writing

awamibaMy grandma died a few weeks ago, after a few bouts of congestive heart failure that her doctor's thought she'd get through nicely. I wonder about that sometimes, "nicely." The fact of it was that she was 93 years old and there's no "nicely" about it. She died. So I've been spending a few weeks trying to tie up loose ends of school, grandma stuff, camp,etc. No writing to speak of, not even blog posts.
That being said, I have a new writing desk. I am not to speak of how I got it or what it looks like or where it is kept, but it is, in fact, awesome. I feel nice and calm sitting at it, regardless of the fact that there are kids running back and forth yelling in the hallway behind me. I've had a few story ideas come to mind while sitting there, writing out condolence letters to aunts and uncles and so forth, so I've been doing the tiniest bit of scribbling those down before moving on to further letters and thank you notes that need to go out.
The Summer of Calmness starts tomorrow, now that all things camplike are done and over with. The two big kids will be working on Scout stuff quite a lot of the summer, so hopefully there will be quite a lot of writing time while they're working on Projects and the youngest is napping or watching TV. I'm looking forward to writing again.
