Walking the campus

I have a book of stair walks all around the Seattle area, so today I took the train to the University district and did a mapped walk around the UW campus.  I got lost once - well, not really lost; I just didn't follow the book's directions well, but I'm familiar enough with the campus to find my way back on track.  At one point I had to detour because the stairway the book calls the prettiest and the authors' favorite was blocked off.  But even with those kerfluffles, I got to see parts of the campus I'd never found before, and got more than 10,000 steps in the bargain.

After this lovely walk, I took the train back to where I'd parked the car, got myself a ham crepe at a coffee house, and worked on my latest full length play.  I had put this play aside a few months ago because I was really struggling to find the story, but it has since revealed itself to me and I'm so happy to be back at work on it, even though I know there is a lot more writing and rewriting to come.

Those two activities, the long walk and the writing session, have already made this a productive day, and it's only 4:30.  Time for my Spanish lesson, some reading, and lots of kitty time.  I love my life.
