rhythm

The pace of my heart has slowed. My mind has also rewired itself. With the advent of the time of the month, worries have no more place. That was the last thing that was weighing on me. I was about a week late, so I was starting question things.
So now the pace is a slow steady. A rhythmic roll of the tides. To work and home, eat dinner with the parents if I'm not working, and back to Erikah's to sleep.  I've started looking into my trip to Europe again. Figuring out how much travel for the weddings and across to Europe is going to cost me.  I think I'm going to drive to Colorado for the first trip there the  16th of May, spend a few days, and then come back to finish helping Erikah, and then fly back to Colorado, and then fly to London on the 7th or 8th of June, directly after the wedding.  I'm not entirely sure how long I'll stay over there, it really depends on how much money I'll have been able to save. I figure I'll do England, Scotland and Ireland this time, and see how it goes... and then go on from there instead of trying to do the whole thing straight off the bat. 
So how have I been spending my days? Writing, and travel planning.  I need the sun to come out with a little bit of warmth so I can start doing things outside. The lack of physical activity is getting to me. 
The writing department has been super fun. Last week, I was teasing Micah about pirates, and it  was concluded that I would've been a Viking and he was a French pirate, if we went by ancestry.  Well, that has turned into a novel, and it going to be fantastic. I've been doing a lot of research on the topics, and he's been super helpful- because he has an uncanny recollection of the time in question. 
I'm hitting a dead end though, once we get to the part after we meet. I don't know how to write a happily ever after for us, it's like I had to shut off that part of my brain, so that I can't even imagine it in a different time frame.   We'll see though. Maybe I'll not worry about the end of the book at this point. I've got the rest of the outline about done. Soon it will be time to write.
