Here's to a new week

This weekend has been pretty laid back, as all weekends should be I think. I woke up on Saturday morning still coming out of a dream I had that I thought would make a great book. I spent the next hour typing up a three page synopsis on what the book was about and now I can't wait to start writing it into a novel! (I feel so Stephenie Meyer-ish!) I read the synopsis to James and he thought it was great, so that made me feel good, too. I'm really excited about it. I like having projects to do. This week I will be working on character sketches and possibly writing some of the settings and back stories. I haven't given myself a deadline to complete the book because it's still early in the process. It's going to be fun though.

This week I surprisingly have a lot going on. My little brother is trying to earn some money to buy a laptop that is on sale. My dad told him that if he earns half of the money that he would pitch in the other half. I asked him if he wanted to come over and help me clear out the clutter that is our study and he said he would love to, so this week he'll be coming by for a couple hours each day to help me out with it. It will be fun to have him come and help me out, but even more fun to have his company. I'm looking forward to it.

I've also started going back to the gym...well, ok I went once last week, but I am trying to go twice a week with my dad. Tomorrow I plan on going to the gym with him and then again on either Wednesday OR Friday, or possibly both days, if I am feeling up to it and if he is as well. It's nice going to the gym with someone. Thursday I have a follow-up appointment with my surgeon and my dad is also going to come with me to that appointment because afterward we are going to go to the temple for our church down in Littleton. James has to work all week, or he would come with us, but James does get Saturday off so we plan on going down to the temple for our church again on Saturday. It will be nice to go twice this week. I'm really looking forward to that.

I wanted to make a trip to the library this week too to pick up some more books to read. I've been trying to do this for the past week or so, but haven't been feeling up to it. I hurt my leg somehow and it's been really giving me some trouble. I don't know what I did to it, but I may have to go into the doctor this week if it doesn't calm down. We'll see. I have plenty of other things I need to do as well, so I don't think I'll run out of things anytime soon. I am excited for this week, though. It's a new week with lots of things to do, but spaced out enough to where I don't feel overwhelmed. Good stuff!
