I'm sure moving into old age with a rush. Its just past noon here and last night's too short rest has caught up to me. I moved my arms and legs and everything else in water aerobics this morning. The instructor was at the doc cause she's done something to her knee. The sub teacher really put us through our paces. "Kick as hard as you can! Move that leg forward, touch the floor, move the leg to the side, touch the floor. Move that leg behind you, touch the floor. " That kind of stuff for most of an hour. Holy cow, batman. Home to moving three poems into one file so that I could submit it to this press that has accepted my work before. Giving my work to somebody else who can say yay! or OH heck no! to publishing it with others in a book, well, its emotionally strenuous labor. Got it done. That nap may be on the horizon super soon. I need to see about making garbanzo fritters cause we're going on a picnic after hubby gets off work. I hope I have the zip to walk the pups this afternoon. Crossing my fingers there.

@celticeagle Thanks. I fell asleep in my chair for a few minutes then got up and made bean fritters and yup, we had a little time in the park. Pretty soon the temps are not going to be this sweet so its rear in gear time!

When you put your work out to someone else it is emotionally stressful. And if it's rejected you feel numb for a while. At least I do.

@JudyEv You have been through this. You're right on and its why I am down to submitting to this single press. They've rejected me and mine and at other times, received with open arms. I hope that once we move West I will find more folks who will suggest other presses. I need that sometimes rough water of literary give, take, and yes, go away!

A nap will help I am sure. You had a good workout and earned it.
